File Browser Applet 0.6.6
******************************
File Browser Applet is an applet for the GNOME Panel. It lets you browse and
open files in your home folder from the gnome panel, without having to open
a file manager. It is _not_ intended as replacement to proper file managers
like nautilus. Sometimes you (like me) just want to open a file and don't want
to have to open a file manager, browse to and open the file, then close the
file manager. This Applet just saves you couple of clicks.
Features
********
* Browse and open files in your home folder from the panel.
* Respects Gnome mime type options and includes mime icon in menu.
* Middle clicking (or F4) in a folder header will open a terminal in
that folder.
* Middle-clicking (or F4) on file will open with the configured editor,
right-clicking will execute the default action including running binary
files.
* Configuration options: Select folder to show (and label), select
icon, show/hide icon, show hidden, select terminal and editor.
* Keyboard activation (a.k.a. hotkey) of root menu (via libgtkhotkey).
Currently set as <Super>h.
* Context menu with some useful actions such as open-with, new folder here,
delete file/folder, create/extract archive, open/edit/run as root, etc.
* Fast keyboard navigation with mnemonics.
* Drag 'n Drop from applet to Nautilus or Desktop to MOVE files.
* Opened files added to "Recent Documents" list.
* Option to display a file's thumbnail if it exist.
* Option to show folder only (i.e. hide files).
* Useful tooltips indicating file size or folder contents count.

Hacking

Contributions are welcome, but it might take a while for them to make it into a
release as I (unfortunately) don't always have a lot of time to devote to this
project (and other lame excuses). Send ideas/code/patches via the bug tracker
(http://code.google.com/p/gnome-menu-file-browser-applet/issues/list).
