One of goals we hope to accomplish with Ecere is to provide a simple, yet complete desktop environment built upon Ecere. One of the major advantages of this is of course the small footprint and dependencies list of Ecere compared to KDE/Qt or GNOME/GTK. The Acovel Media Player and Ecere Communicator are projects for applications to include in the Ecere DE. Another important project is a graphical shell / file explorer. I attached some screenshots of what we have so far. |

I had a project in mind - a file manager / terminal hybrid. I wonder if maybe Ecere Explorer could benefit from the idea instead of trying to start a new file manager from scratch... Rather than constantly switching between the file manager and a terminal application when working on a project, a programmer might find it handy to have both in split-screen format in a single application. Navigate to the proper directory, move or delete files, and perform other functions that a graphical file manager makes easy - but then execute a terminal command (such as a python script) in the same directory with ease. The closest I could find to this idea was Hotwire, a text / graphical shell hybrid; but this is similar to to the old DOS Shell being married to the "Start > Run" dialog in windows; I'm picturing a fully fledged Nautilus or Finder app with a full terminal emulator tied together. Anyone else think this could be an optional mode for Ecere Explorer? |

I think it should be the default mode! =) |

I agree! That would be an awesome way to have a file explorer... Makes one wonder why it hasn't been done already... Awesome suggestion! |

I started this Ecere Explorer (you can see my snapshots up there) project a while ago and it's been lying dormant for a while now. I'll attempt to revive it in the next weeks and I will post about the progress. |

Post subject: | Organic |
I have some naming ideas here. Ecere Organic Filer (EOF) From organic definition and referring to 'organizing' your files.
What do you think? Anyone have ideas about how to make a 'living' GUI that can be qualified as organic? -redj |
