Love the modern code base, it feels very lean and efficient. Had a usability issue, and the author fixed it within a week! Highly recommended. It will only keep getting better.

Hi Cory, fman author here. Sorry for the difficulty selecting files. Do I understand correctly that you are on Mac?

coryroberts

Thanks for the reply. I'm on Windows 10.

mherrmann

Thanks for letting me know. I will do my best to implement this soon. Particularly important given fman's recent addition of a context menu.

coryroberts

This is awesome, thanks. Updated my rating for sure, let me know when it's implemented and I'll give it another go.

mherrmann

Will do!

I just released fman 1.0.9 that lets you select items by mouse :-) Shift+Spacebar is (not) yet supported, but I hope that already helps you Cory?

coryroberts

Awesome, updated my review :). Great work, now I can try it out better.

Extremely bare bones. Even with plugins, it lacks basic functions such as finding files recursively (Alt+F7 in TC/DC) or calculating a folder's size (Space). I like how keyboard centric it is and the Sublime inspired command palette, but it's just too simplistic and sadly the project seems dead - the executable has been signed two years ago.

Not updated for a long time. And the company does not reply my email.

It reminds me of Sublime Text, even uses same quick panel and shortcut for it. ST was probebly fman's inspiration. But its not open source. You need to buy a license to use full features!
