On January 11 and 22, after more than six months of development, versions 5.2.0 and 5.2.1 of the dual-panel file manager were released. Worker, written in C++ using its own GUI library (X11 only), and distributed under the GNU GPL 2 license.
Worker has a multitude of settings for both appearance and functionality, which can be extended using the built-in Lua language interpreter.
Change log for version 5.2.0:
- In the file search dialog, it is now possible to remove all entries that include the chosen base path from the results list.
- File search can now optionally start from a list of selected entries. This can be configured in the search command settings. If no entries are selected, the search returns to the entire directory.
- For file searching, multiple file patterns can now be used, separated by commas (or any other configurable character).
- Entries can be ignored by marking them with a special exclude_search tag (the tag can also be configured in the search dialog).
- In the search dialog, more complex search expressions can now be defined.
- The search expression can be mixed with other conditions, including content checks. In this case, all conditions (name, content, expression) must match.
- In the file list filter, filtering by file content using regular expressions can now be applied.
- The rename command now defaults to selecting the filename without the extension. The command can also be configured to select the full filename.
- Another dark theme has been added (as shown in the screenshot).
- Other improvements and bug fixes.
Change log for version 5.2.1:
- Size and content filter expressions now support the follow option, which enables following symlinks for size comparison and content checking. By default, this option is disabled. The syntax for size,follow==... and content,follow==... can be shortened to a single letter f.
- The follow symlinks option in the file search dialog is now also considered in the filter expression.
- Fixed incorrect release of configuration objects when exiting the program.
- Czech translation updated.
