<title>Welcome to &krusader;!</title>
<para>Our aim is to give you a simple, intuitive tool that
easily handles the most important tasks you perform on your
computer each and every day: manage and process your files the
way you want.</para>
<para>Whether you are a &Linux; expert or a novice,
&krusader; makes routine file management tasks quick
and accurate, allowing you to focus on the big picture, not
command line syntax. This is especially helpful if you are new
to xxNIX operating systems. To do just that,
&krusader; uses a good-looking &GUI; and
supports drag and drop as well as mime types, making it easy to
use.</para>
<para>&krusader; has many useful features. It is fast, and
handles &archives-lnk; transparently. In addition,
&krusader; streamlines many complex file management
tasks, reducing fatigue, errors, and distraction. Basically,
&krusader; provides all the helpful features you have
come to expect from other quality file management tools like
&mc; and &tcmd;. &krusader; is
designed to integrate seamlessly with the &kde;
Desktop, the desktop of choice for many programmers, network
engineers, and other power users of &Linux;. With
&krusader; even novice users can quickly access the
power, convenience, and feature rich capabilities of the
&kde; Desktop. &krusader; is a free
open-source project, and it is released under the
&gpl-lnk;, although the developers still retain the
copyright for the project and its name, and manage the
project's continuing evolution.</para>
<para>The &krusader; Project mission is to create
an "all-in-one" file manager, which will do all the ordinary
things you would expect of it, and more. Since the principle
behind &krusader; is based on the
&ofm-url;, dual-pane filemanagers (&mc;,
&nc;, &etc;), it is certain that
&krusader; is able to handle all the standard Copy,
Move, Delete, &etc; file operations.</para>
<para>From the start, virtual file systems became the main
focus. &vfs-lnk; are an abstracted layer over all
kinds of archived information (ZIP files, &FTP;
servers, TAR archives, NFS filesystems, SAMBA shares, ISO
cd/dvd images, RPM catalogs, &etc;), which allow the
user to access all the information in these divergent types of
file systems transparently - just like entering an ordinary
sub-directory. Files can then be copied or moved around (except
ISO,rpm,tar.gz) between these data sources/containers
effortlessly. &krusader; currently supports VFSs for
all popular and some specialized types of archives (ace, arj,
bzip2, gzip, iso, lha, rar, tar, zip and 7-zip), configuration
packages (rpm, deb), and traditional remote file system types
(&FTP;, NFS, Samba, FISH, SFTP).</para>
<para>&krusader; also includes a built-in
Mount-Manager &mountman-lnk;, which enables you to
mount or unmount file systems of all types with a click of a
mouse. The user is able to obtain usage and other property
information easily, in a consistent and understandable format
in seconds. Ease and consistency is the goal.</para>
<para>A &bookmark-manager-lnk; for local
files/remote &URL;s and an
&advanced-search-module-lnk; is also included to
speed the locating of needed files. &krusader; also
allows the user to configure Toolbars in order to provide a
wide variety of additional functionality, such as File
Comparison (several user selectable methods available),
Multiple File Rename, and standard Terminal windows.</para>
<para>Advanced users benefit greatly from being able to carry
out clerical tasks effortlessly, without distraction from the
real task at hand. Convenient shortcut keys enable the user to
navigate directory trees with ease, create multiple tabbed
directory views simultaneously, and access fully functional
history lists. Due to efficient programming and low system
overhead, &krusader; is perhaps the most responsive
all around system management tool used to access the full
potential of a computer using &kde;, or any other
standards compliant X Windows window manager. Although designed
specifically for, and tightly integrated with,
&kde;; &krusader; works equally well with
Gnome, Enlightenment, WindowMaker, IceWM, BlackBox, Wiamea,
XFCE, etc.as soon as the KDE libraries are installed.</para>
<para>New extensibility is provided by the flexible
&useractions-lnk;, a &krusader;
innovation that allows unlimited additional custom
functionality to be added to suit the specific needs of users. We
are planning to develop more modules in the near future,
thereby enhancing &krusader;. Information on what is
proposed, approved, or remains to be completed can be found in
the &todoforum-url;.</para>
<para>No other program we know of, offers so many useful,
easily accessible features in such an intuitive and simple
format. Best of all, we listen, and implement good suggestions
that are consonant with the &krusader; Project's
goal: making &krusader; the very best File Manager
available.</para>
<para>We hope you'll enjoy it - we do!</para>
