0014 <para>The OFM file manager concept contains
0015 <link linkend="features">many features</link> that make them
0016 powerful enough to belong among the best file managers today.
0017 The interface is simple: left panel, right panel and a command
0018 line below. Because of interaction between these three items
0019 the file managing will become more efficient.</para>
0020 <para>If you would like to know
0021 <ulink url="http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/linux/Krusader-Review-18193.shtml">
0022 how &krusader; works</ulink> you can try it yourself,
0023 just install it on your computer. To accept an
0024 <ulink url="http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/index.shtml">Orthodox File Manager (OFM)</ulink> like &krusader;, the user needs
0025 to get used to
0026 <emphasis>new ideas</emphasis> that are actually already 20
0027 years old. If you prefer to waste time and lose a lot of
0028 productivity, you can always continue to use one panel file
0029 managers that are based on &Windows;

0093 or configured via a

0268 </listitem>
0269 </itemizedlist>
0270 <para>&krusader; is a <quote>twin-panel</quote> file
0271 manager so there are two panels: the <quote>Left</quote> panel and the
0272 <quote>Right</quote> panel, or a more important logical distinction, the
0273 *Active* panel and the *Inactive* panel. The active panel is
0274 the one that will accept your mouse and keyboard input. If you
0275 choose a command from the
0276 <guilabel>Menu-Bar</guilabel> or
0277 <guilabel>Toolbar</guilabel> the command will act upon the
0278 selected files/folders in the active panel. You can switch
0279 between panels using the 	 key or by clicking on
0280 the
0281 <guilabel>Information or Totals labels</guilabel>, or by
0282 selecting any file in a panel with the mouse. As always,
0283 default startup settings can be modified with the
0284 <link linkend="konfigurator">Konfigurator Startup page</link>, and you control the current
0285 session with the <link linkend="settings-menu">Settings menu</link>.</para>

0307 or remote files (accessed via &FTP;, &NFS; or Samba).
0308 There are two modes: <link linkend="view-menu">Detailed View</link> that shows the file names,
0309 file size, creation date and time and their attributes.
0310 And <link linkend="view-menu">Brief View</link> that shows only the file names,

0361 order, click a second time on the Column Header. An arrow
0362 will appear on the right of the Column Header text,
0363 showing the sort direction (Up arrow = A to Z sorting,
0364 Down arrow = Z to A sorting). Default
0365 <link linkend="useractions">UserActions</link> set a keybinding for the

0391 the first few characters of a file name. Pressing

0409 disk usage of the current folder (as opposed to the information label that
0410 displays information for the whole file system). If a folder contains a lot
0411 of subfolders, it may not be possible to drop the &URL; onto the panel (on
0412 which only folders are visible), but the &URL; can be dropped onto the
0413 <quote>Information Label</quote> or <quote>Totals Label</quote> instead. When a <link
