NAME
filemgr - a GUI-based file management application
SYNOPSIS
filemgr [ -C ] [ -a ] [ -c ] [ -d directory ] [ -i secs ] [
-M ] [ -name app-name ] [ -nomedia ] [ -r ] [ -v ] [ -? ]
DESCRIPTION
filemgr is a file management program that lets you navigate
through directories and manipulate files. filemgr lets you
find, create, copy, move, link, open, and print files using
a graphical user interface (GUI). You can also change file
properties, create new directories, and view multiple direc-
tories at the same time.
OPTIONS
In addition to the generic tool arguments described in
xview(7), filemgr can accept the following options:
-a This will force filemgr to check both folder and file
modification times. By default, filemgr only checks
the folder modification times. Be careful, as this
option will severely affect performance.
-C This will start filemgr without using the Classing
Engine to try to determine what each file type is.
This means the only three types of file icons will be
displayed: the generic document, folder and application
icons.
-c This will force filemgr to display file pane items by
columns, rather than by rows.
-d directory
This will start filemgr in the given directory.
-i secs
This will set the timer to check on folder and/or file
modification times every secs seconds.
-M Just display using the foreground and background colors
only, even on a color screen.
-name app-name
This option instructs filemgr to use resources associ-
ated with app-name in your $HOME/.desksetfdefaults file
instead of using resources for filemgr. This lets you
run multiple filemgrs at the same time with different
attributes. app-name should not contain ``.'' or ``*''
characters.
-nomedia
This option disables the floppy or CDROM window popup
when Check for Floppy is selected; or when is inserted
in the CDROM drive.
-r This will force filemgr to display file pane items by
rows, rather than by columns (default).
-v, -ver, -version
Any of these options will display the current version
number of filemgr.
-? This will display a partial list of command line
options which can be passed to filemgr. For additional
generic options which can be passed to filemgr, type
"man xview -?". Note that csh(1) shell users will have
to enter a backslash ("\") in front of the "?" to
avoid having their shell expand the regular expresion.
RESOURCES
On startup, filemgr will use the following X resources which
are stored in $HOME/.desksetdefaults. Note these resource
names will be prepended with deskset.filemgr.
Resource: applicationColor
Values: Color name string or hexadecimal color
specification string
Description The color of the default application icon.
Resource: autoShowCD
Values: True, False (True)
Description If set to true, when a CD is inserted, then
filemgr will display it's contents in a new
window.
Resource: autoSortOnUpdate
Values: True, False (False)
Description If set to true, when a file is added or
deleted in a directory being viewed by
filemgr, the contents are automatically
resorted (based on the current sort type).
This means it is impossible to retain any
positional information. This is similar to
the way that previous versions of filemgr
worked and may be the preference of some
users.
Resource: cacheSize
Values: 0-100000000 (1500000)
Description Determines the limit (in bytes) for the gar-
bage collection run by the fmgc(1) program
(started by filemgr ). fmgc will continue to
prune the ~/.fm hierarchy until this limit is
reached.
Resource: cdromContentMatch
Values: True, False (True)
Description Determines whether the Classing Engine will
do matching by contents for CDROM files.
Matching by contents is a slow operation
because of the speed of CDROM devices.
Resource: classingEngineBufferSize
Values: 0-32768 (512)
Description Denotes how many bytes are read from each
file, and passed onto the Classing Engine to
try to determine it's file type.
Resource: confirmDelete
Values: True, False (True)
Description When true, sends deleted files to the
wastebasket. Otherwise, files are deleted
normally as if you had run a rm(1) command.
Resource: confirmDeleteFolder
Values: True, False (True)
Description When true, the user will be prompted whenever
they try to delete a folder (and therefore
it's contents) to the Wastebasket. Setting
this resource to false disables this prompt.
Resource: confirmDestroyFolder
Values: True, False (True)
Description When true, the user will be prompted whenever
they try to destroy a folder (and therefore
it's contents). This could be either the Des-
troy option from the Wastebasket, or if they
have set their Edit menu item to destroy
(from the general property panel). Setting
this resource to false disables this prompt.
Resource: confirmQuit
Values: True, False (True)
Description When true, the user will be prompted when
they select the "Quit File Manager" option
from the File button menu, to ask if they
really want to do this. Setting this
resource to false disables this prompt.
Resource: documentColor
Values: Color name string or hexadecimal color
specification string
Description The color of the default application icon.
Resource: fileCheckInterval
Values: 0-9999 (5)
Description The amount of time (in seconds) between
checks on the various monitored file systems
to see if changes have occured.
Resource: filenameNoChars
Values: 0-255 (255)
Description The maximum number of characters to display
in a filename. Note this is based on the
average width of characters, so when using
proportional fonts the number of characters
displayed will vary.
Resource: filterScript
Values: regular expression (NULL)
Description A regular expression describing which files
you wish to view. The default is empty,
which indicates all files should be
displayed.
Resource: floppyContentMatch
Values: True, False (True)
Description Determines whether the Classing Engine will
do matching by contents for floppy disk
files. Matching by contents is a slow opera-
tion because of the speed of floppy disk dev-
ices.
Resource: folderColor
Values Color name string or hexadecimal color
specification string
Description The color of the default folder icon.
Resource: followSymbolicLinks
Values: True, False (False)
Description When false, filemgr doesn't follow symbolic
links when changing directories. Note that
prior to Solaris 2.3, the automounter used a
symbolic link when automounting directories.
Setting this resource to true will not
correctly monitor such automounted direc-
tories.
Resource: iconDirectionVertical
Values: True, False (False)
Description When false, displays files row-by-column.
Otherwise, displays files column-by-row.
Resource: iconListStyle
Values: int (0)
Description Saves the state of the "List Options" toggles
on the Customize View popup. This is not
very human readable and should be changed in
the future.
Resource: loadDirectoryState
Values: True, False (True)
Description When false, directory state information for
each directory will not be read from or writ-
ten to the users ~/.fm directory.
Resource: loadIconPositions
Values: True, False (True)
Description When false, icon positional information for
each directory will not be read from or writ-
ten to the users ~/.fm directory. Setting
this resource to true, overrides the load-
DirectoryState resource.
Resource: maxGotoMenuEntries
Values: 1-500 (10)
Description The maximum number of entries that will be
displayed in the Goto button menu.
Resource: newFolderName
Values: String (NewFolder)
Description The initial name given to newly created fold-
ers.
Resource: newWindowOnDirectoryOpen
Values: True, False (False)
Description Whether a new popup sub-folder pane is
created when a folder is opened.
Resource: otherEditor
Values: UNIX command (shelltool sh -c "sleep 3 ; vi
$FILE")
Description The open method the user wishes to use for
opening files. Note this should provide its
own window or be started in a shelltool to
work correctly. The sleep command is added
so the window's dimensions will be set when
the editor starts.
Resource: printScript
Values: UNIX command (cat $FILE | mp -lo | lp)
Description The print method the user wishes to use for
printing files.
Resource: shellToolName
Values: UNIX command (cmdtool)
Description The type of tty window to use when running
the Custom Command`s UNIX Shell menu option.

means of condensing the amount of space the
folder view uses.
Resource: treeView
Values: True, False (False)
Description When True, display the folder view window on
startup.
Resource: treeWidth
Values: 0-"Width of Screen" (40 characters)

USAGE
filemgr operates via a set of pulldown menus from button
stacks in a control panel. Most menu commands operate on the
currently selected files. To select a file, click the
SELECT mouse button on its icon. To select additional
files, click with the ADJUST mouse button on additional
files. The menu commands are described below.
File >
Open...
Opening a document will open the document in the
appropriate application. Opening a folder will
create a subfolder showing the items in that
folder. Opening an application starts the appli-
cation. This is the default action of a
double-clicked file.
Open in Editor...
Opens the selected items using the users prefered
editor. See File Manager Properties (below).
Create Folder
Creates an empty subfolder in the file pane.
Duplicate
Create a duplicate of each of the selected files.
Print One
Prints the selected items using their default
print method. See File Manager Properties below.
Print...
Displays a command window which allows you to
print your selected files with a print method you
specify.
Find...
Displays a command window which allows you to
search for files within the specified folders.
Information...
This command window allows you to see and change
the file attributes of the selected files.
Remote Copy...
Displays a command window which allows you to copy
files to and from remote machines. You can make a
reference to files on a remote machine by using
the format machine_name:file_name. See rcp(1).
Custom Commands
Displays a menu containing custom commands you
have created.
UNIX Shell...
Will bring up a command window where you can
directly enter UNIX commands.
Format Disk...
Will display a command window allowing you to for-
mat a floppy diskette (in either DOS or Unix for-
mat).
Rename Disk...
Will display a command window allowing you to
rename a floppy diskette.
Comments...
Displays a command window where you can send com-
ments to the filemgr development team. These com-
ments would be related to bugs, problems or incon-
sistencies found with the filemgr program.
Quit File Manager
Allows you to really quit the filemgr program and
not just the current window.
View >
Open Folder View
Will show a hierarchical display of folders in a
separate window.
Large Icon View
Displays file pane items as large icons in a posi-
tioned view.
Small Icon View
Displays file pane items as small icons in a posi-
tioned view.
Icon by Name
Displays file pane items as large icons sorted by
name.
Icon by Type
Displays file pane items as large icons sorted by
type and name.
List by Name
Displays file pane items as small icons, one per
line, sorted by name.
List by Type
Displays file pane items as small icons, one per
line, sorted by type and name.
List by Size
Displays file pane items as small icons, one per
line, sorted by size.
List by Date
Displays file pane items as small icons, one per
line, sorted by date.
Cleanup Icons (or Selection)
Will move each file pane item to its nearest grid
point. If one or more files are selected, then
this operation only affects the selected files.
Edit >
Select All
Selects all files in the current folder.
Cut Places selected files on the clipboard for a pend-
ing move operation.
Copy Places selected files on the clipboard for a pend-
ing copy operation.
Link Places selected files on the clipboard for a pend-
ing link operation.
Paste
Pastes files from clipboard into the current
folder. Pasted files are linked, copied, or
moved, depending on how they were first stored in
the clipboard.
Delete (or Destroy)
Deletes selected files to the wastebasket. To have
files destroyed without going to the wastebasket
(and with no hope of recovery), select the "Des-
troy" option from the "Edit Menu item is" item on
the "General Defaults" sheet in File Manager Pro-
perties.
Properties...
Displays a multi-level property sheet allowing you
to customize the behavior of filemgr.
Goto >
Used in conjunction with the destination entered on the
goto line (located at the right of the goto button).
To change directories, type the directory name on the
goto line and then press Goto.
If nothing is entered on the Goto line, then the first
folder displayed on the menu will be "Home", which will
return you to your home folder. Next in the menu are
two application specific entries for viewing the Folder
View and the Waste Basket. If there are any floppies or
CDs being viewed, they also have an entry in this sec-
tion of the menu. Finally the menu displays the last
folders you have visited. Selecting a folder causes
that folder to be opened.

FILES
$HOME/.fmcmd
This file contains the old user defined custom com-
mands, which can be referenced by the ``Custom Com-
mands'' menu. When these commands are written out
again, they will be written to the
$HOME/.desksetdefaults file.
$HOME/.desksetdefaults
This file saves the state of the DeskSet tools in X
resource format. Do not edit this file by hand as
changes will be lost when the Server writes to this
file!
BUGS
Comments/formatting in the $HOME/.desksetdefaults file can
be lost when the server saves the tool's state.
Choosing a custom command which requires input (such as rm
-i $FILE) can cause filemgr to hang. Custom commands needs
to be more robust.
Print methods, open methods, and custom commands depend on
the $FILE variable being set properly. Failure to include
$FILE will cause the executed command to behave improperly.
NOTES
The OpenWindows environment may no longer be supported in a
future release. You may want to migrate to CDE, the Common
Desktop Environment.
