Do you like to do things your own way? In this case open source programs are for you, because they are customizable and give you the tools to manage your tasks as you like. Far Manager 3.0.3900 is such a program that includes customizing options with open source and, at the same time, extension capabilities. This way you have an app that you can adjust in the way you like it to be and also you can upgrade it with different plug-ins, creating in this way your own program that will manage your files and programs.
Features
- Views files and folders
- Can edit them
- Usable in text mode
- Keyboard usage
Far Manager 3.0.3900 can be used to scour your drives and view all the files and directories. After that you can edit what you don't like, copy it where you want and also rename any file the way you like. These are only the basic functions that are offered by the program, but if you want more you can receive it with additional plug-ins that can be implemented with external DLL files. If you are an advanced user or programmer, you can make such modules yourself, expanding the flexibility of this app even more. But if you are not, you can still use pre-made modules to add functions, like archive support, a network browser and others.
Interface
Old style. This would have been enough to describe the interface if it wasn't for the customization options that it gives. From the Properties tab you can change the cursor size, the font, the layout of the window and the colors that are used. For the last feature you can make your own color by adding precise values of the red, green and blue colors, maximizing in this way the customization options that the app gives. Still, all this doesn't change the fact that it has an outdated interface that lacks icons, but this can be a good thing for the users that don't want to use this feature, integrated for the first time in the Macintosh computer. There are, of course, some new features, like the fact that the program opens in a separate window and you can easily switch between it and other windows, which means that developers Eugene Roshal and Far Group removed the usual full screen that was used for such apps.
Basic Operations
All this is done in two ways – with a mouse and a keyboard, with the second way taking us back to the old MS-DOS days. The commands that you can use are the same like in the versions that were used at the end of the millennium. Actually, we had fun using the commands, because some of us grew up with MS-DOS and its command lines that we still remember. But the integrated mouse support and auto-completion of the lines reminds us that this is an app made for the Windows operating system. Still, if you want to return to the good old times, you can download this app, even only for fun. But if you delve into it you will see that it is not only for history lessons.
Conclusion
Far Manager has every good feature of open source apps – it is free, it can be expanded and it is multilingual. The last part is somewhat a problem, for those that insist to use icons, but for fans of the old MS-DOS style, this look is an advantage.
Pros
- Open source
- Multilingual
- Can add plug-ins
Cons
- Old school interface
