Description

While there are several robust file managers available, many do not adhere to Material Design principles. Even those that claim to follow Material Design often exhibit various minor design imperfections, such as issues with layout, alignment, padding, icons, and fonts, which can create discomfort for users like me, though these flaws might not bother everyone enough to seek out a solution. This dissatisfaction ultimately led me to develop my own file manager. Additionally, numerous popular and trustworthy file managers are closed-source, and while I occasionally use them to access and modify files requiring root permissions, I find myself feeling uneasy about granting any closed-source application such extensive access to my device. After all, this device contains a wealth of personal information, and the level of trust is solely based on the developers' intentions. Therefore, it's crucial to prioritize transparency when it comes to access rights within applications.

Description

Worker is a versatile two-pane file manager designed for the X Window System on UN*X platforms. It displays directories and files in two separate panels, offering a range of advanced file manipulation capabilities. The primary goal is to simplify file management through complete keyboard navigation, while also aiding users in locating files and directories by leveraging a history of accessed locations, real-time filtering, and keyboard shortcuts for command access. Developed by Ralf Hoffmann, Worker is released as free software under the GNU General Public License V2 or later, ensuring its accessibility to all users. Additionally, it includes VFS support for quick and efficient access to archives and remote servers, as well as the ability to execute external programs by typing in names and arguments, complete with an unlimited command history. Users can also customize the interface with a robust system for binding external applications to buttons, hotkeys, or specific file types, which allows for the incorporation of selected files and directories seamlessly. Furthermore, Worker features a text viewer that can operate independently or within an embedded pane for added convenience. This combination of features makes Worker a powerful tool for anyone looking to enhance their file management experience.
