<title>OFM User Interface</title>
<para>The OFM file manager concept contains
<link linkend="features">many features</link> that make them
powerful enough to belong among the best file managers today.
The interface is simple: left panel, right panel and a command
line below. Because of interaction between these three items
the file managing will become more efficient.</para>
<para>If you would like to know
<ulink url="http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/linux/Krusader-Review-18193.shtml">
how &krusader; works</ulink> you can try it yourself,
just install it on your computer. To accept an
&ofm-url; like &krusader;, the user needs
to get used to
<emphasis>new ideas</emphasis> that are actually already 20
years old. If you prefer to waste time and lose a lot of
productivity, you can always continue to use one panel file
managers that are based on &Windows;
Explorer.</para>

<para>The User Interface is based on &ofm-url;
paradigm, a 20- year old principle that has proven its bones.
It is known as simple, easy and powerful. In the following

<para>The &krusader; Main Toolbar, is a standard
&kde; toolbar that can be dragged around the
application or configured via a
<keycap>Right-Click</keycap> menu. You can decide whether or
not you want to display it each time you start
&krusader; in the &konfigstartpg-lnk;,
and you can toggle its use in the current session in the
&viewmenu-lnk;. The Main Toolbar contents can be
configured from the
<guimenuitem>Configure Toolbars</guimenuitem> in the
&settingsmenu-lnk; or the
<guilabel>Toolbar</guilabel> tab in the
&konfiglookandfeel-lnk;. Since various commands
and options in &krusader; are context-dependent,
some commands are not always available. The icon of an
inappropriate or inactive action will be deactivated
(grayed-out) disabling its use. &bookmarks-lnk;
can be placed into the Main Toolbar and the Actions Toolbar
with the mouse using "drag and drop".</para>

<para>Below the
<guibutton>Main Toolbar</guibutton> there is a
<guibutton>Location Toolbar</guibutton> for each panel. It
shows the path the panel is currently pointing to. If the
selected path is too long, it will be automatically shortened
and an ellipsis "..." will replace the omitted part of the
path name. When entering archives the path will be displayed
in the following format: "archive
name:/directory/archive_filename/the directory inside the
archive". This format makes the paths uniform and easy to
read. The
<guibutton>Location Toolbar</guibutton> supports also
&tdeioslaves1-url; but not all of them, some can
only be used with the
<link linkend="krviewer">viewer</link> and some can not be
used. The user can enter a desired path by clicking on it.

<title>Panels</title>
<para>The &krusader; panels are where most of the
action takes place. Currently, there are two types of panels:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>&list-panel-lnk;: shows the files and
directories.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>&popup-panel-lnk;: has several display
modes: Preview, Tree, Quickselect, View and Disk Usage for
the file or directory that has the focus. The PopUp Panel
may be left open or closed, as desired.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>&krusader; is a "twin-panel" file
manager so there are two panels: the "Left" panel and the
"Right" panel, or a more important logical distinction, the
*Active* panel and the *Inactive* panel. The active panel is
the one that will accept your mouse and keyboard input. If you
choose a command from the
<guilabel>Menu-Bar</guilabel> or

use most of the time. This panel shows the contents of one
directory which can be local (part of your mounted file
systems, either a native file or the files inside an archive)
or remote files (accessed via &FTP; or Samba).
There are two modes: <link linkend="view-menu">Detailed View</link> that shows the file names,
file size, creation date and time and their attributes.
And <link linkend="view-menu">Brief View</link> that shows only the file names,
the number of brief columns can be changed, by right clicking on the <guilabel>Name</guilabel> header.

<guilabel>Information Label</guilabel>
</emphasis>: shows how much free space is physically

and where the path is mounted. If the information is not
available (most often in the case of remote file system)
a message will be displayed with the reason for
unavailablity instead of the information.</para>
<para>The

instantly changed by clicking on one of the
<guilabel>Column Headers</guilabel>. To reverse the sort
order, click a second time on the Column Header. An arrow
will appear on the right of the Column Header text,
showing the sort direction (Up arrow = A to Z sorting,
Down arrow = Z to A sorting). Default
&useractions-lnk; set a keybinding for the

that displays information for the whole file system). If
a directory contains a lot of subdirectories, it may not
be possible to drop the &URL; onto the panel (on
