WISH File Rusher: File manager

WISH File Rusher 2009 is a simple file manager for Linux/Unix file systems, inspired by Henrik Harmsen's FileRunner 2.5.1. It's written entirely in Tcl/Tk, and requires Tcl and Tk 8.5 (or greater, when there is an even greater version). Features include the following, among others:

• Like FileRunner, WISH File Rusher uses the highly efficient "select-and-click" procedure for copying, moving, or linking files (i.e., just select the files from the left or right column and click a button in the middle column), rather than the less efficient "drag-and-drop" procedure.
• Navigation features include bookmarks and Top, Up, Home, Back, Forth, Match, and Go (history list) buttons.
• New subdirectories to any depth can be created simply by adding all subdirectory names to the left or right directory entry line and pressing Enter or clicking New Dir.
• Procedure for associating file types with programs for displaying or editing files is easy and obvious.
• File name, size, "time stamp," permissions (in 3-digit form), and owner are displayed at all times in left and right multi-column lists with flexible-width columns.
• Find button will open WISH File Puller (forthcoming!) to search the contents of a selected directory.
• Command button allows quick execution and display of output from a specified command using WISH Mini-Console (if installed) on all selected files.
• Size Up button allows quick calculation of total size of selected files or directories.
• Own/Grp and Perms buttons allow quick display and change of file owner, group, and permissions.
• Tar, Zip, Untar, and Unzip buttons allow easy creation and extraction of tar and zip archives.

WISH File Rusher 2009 is available in a "tar.gz" package including the program, documentation, and a simple installation script for Linux/Unix operating systems.
