Introduction
Bundled with expecco comes a tool called "File Browser", which can be used for typical day-to-day tasks related to file and directory management. It is operating system independent and works the same on all supported platforms.
It can be opened via "Extras" -> "Tools" -> "File Browser In...".
Also some popup menus offer an entry to open a File Browser (eg. a text view, in its "Others" -> "Tools" -> "Open File Browser on It") when a valid filename is selected)
The browser contains sophisticated search functions (by name, size, access time or contents), file difference viewer, duplicate file finder, bulk rename, deep copy or remove and other useful functions.
It also includes a hex dump view, an image viewer for the most popular graphics formats (TIFF, GIF, PNG, JPEG and many others), a simple HTML viewer, an XML structure viewer and support for ctags for easy navigation inside source code files.
The file browser is derived from the standard Smalltalk/X file browser, which is described in the Smalltalk/X online documentation.
