Mucommander rpm archive#
Since GCMD can't handle compressed archives, the File Roller plugin plugs that hole, allowing it to create and extract Zip, Tar, 7z, bz2, Rar, RPM, Deb, and other archive types. But GCMD relies on the graphical Meld tool to help users see the difference and merge files between two files. If you've got Meld on your box, GCMD will let you compare two files and synchronise directories. However, the command line lacks autocompletion and the gaps in the documentation aren't helpful. Verdict: Powerful metatag rename utility, but lacks documentation and plugins. MuCommander - The Wile E Coyote of OFMs on Linuxįirst things first: MuCommander is based on Java and will run on nothing but Sun's own Java runtime environment. If you're using GIJ (the GNU Interpreter for Java), you're out of luck. For the rest of us, MuCommander offers some wonderful features. MUCOMMANDER: You can compress and uncompress to various file types with this file manager With it you can browse, compress and uncompress archives in various formats including Zip, Rar, Tar, Gzip, BZ2, ISO/ NRG etc. It also enables you to modify the contents of a Zip archive. MuCommander has several useful switches, and when launching it from the command line you can specify what you want to load in its panes. For example, mucommander smb://192.168.2.2 /Download will display the contents of a Samba share in the first pane, and list /Download in the other. Remember though that you'll have to stare at the splash screen longer than usual as MuCommander tries to connect to the remote machine. MuCommander supports virtual filesystems and can view files on Samba, NFS shares and on FTP. You can use it to compare files across the two panes. MuCommander has a bulk rename tool and will let you email files without using a third-party app.
