Tux Commander is a windowed file manager with 2 panels side by side similar to popular Total Commander or Midnight Commander file managers. The main goal of this project is to create powerful and user friendly file manager for Unix operating systems.
A quite unusual approach how the file types are distinguished was chosen for Tux Commander. It's completely extension based, similar to Windows, in contrast to Unix file managers where MIME type handling is commonly used. Since Tux Commander is primary intended for end users who want to work with their data and not with the system files, we believe this is the right solution. This however brings incompatibility to popular desktop environments but imagine that KDE and Gnome are also separated. The other reason why separate system was used is to keep the application universal and not dependent to any existing desktop environments. Also, converters and linking plugins are planned for future versions.
