Name: Krusader
Version: 1.70.0-beta2
Type: Filemanager
Depend: KDE 3.3.x
License: GPL
Homepage: http://www.krusader.org
More Info:

Description:
  .. is an advanced twin panel (commander style)
file manager for KDE 3,
similar to Midnight or Total Commander (formerly
Windows Commander), with
many extras. It provides all the file-management
features you could possibly
want.

Plus: extensive archive handling, mounted
filesystem support, FTP, advanced
search module, viewer/editor, directory
synchronisation, file content
comparisons, powerful batch renaming and much much
more.

It supports the following archive formats: tar,
zip, bzip2, gzip, rar, ace,
arj and rpm and can handle other KIOSlaves such as
smb or fish. It is
(almost) completely customizable, very user
friendly, fast and looks great on
your desktop! :-)

Changelog:
 Changes since beta1 include (but not limited to):
* Improvements in the checksum module
* More control over the terminal emulator
(requested feature)
* Our modified KIO-TAR is now built only when
passing --with-kiotar to
  configure
* Bugfixes to bookmarks, viewer and much more
* A fix for a nasty bug that was plagueing people
with gcc 4.x
