Kruiser is a file system Win95-like Explorer.
Main features are :
- highly configurable (icons, mime types, ...)
- tree follower (directory tree follows you when entering subdirectories)
- configurable tree (you can add link to any folder you want : Desktop, Trash, Home, ...)
- support for mountable devices (with mount and unmount operations)
- support for FTP
- support for archive files (Tar, Zip and Rpm)
- does not need KFM to be running (it implements its own protocols)
- provides a set of Win95-like icons, or use KDE icons
- use KDE mime types or personal file association
- many features of Win95 Explorer are implemented (to much to be listed here).
- internationalisation (only in french and german at this time)
- implemented as a threaded application (can be killed at any time), no subprocess, zombies, ...
- implementation of drag'n drop (XDND).
To do :
- misssing Explorer features (not much)
- more internationalisation (need translators)
- some minor improvements
I need TESTERS and FEEDBACK. If you tested it and like it (or not)
just send me a e-mail to tell me what's good or not, what should
be done or removed, or just to give me your impressions.
Changes since 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.3:
- FTP support
- SMB support (new in 0.3)
- Archive support : tar, zip, rpm (browse only)
- thumbnail support (thanks to Oliver Eiden)
- geometry saving/restoring
- new config entries :

- thumbnail saving policy
- archives being shown (with specified type)
- more refresh posibility to keep kruiser view consistent with real situation
- a lot of bug fixes and improvements to make kruiser more usable
