<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p><img alt="File Browsers" src="main_window.jpg" complete="true" height="600" width="560"></p>
<p>In short, the application is a multiple files browser with a few extras. It supports multiple tabs containing up to any number of file browsers that your monitor is able to display. Highlights are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Folders and settings are persistent between sessions. </li>
<li>Folder browsers can be given title names and background colors as well as a fixed parent folder so that only a certain directory tree can be navigated. </li>
<li>Folder browsers can be linked together so that they can be navigated in parallel related to their given parent folders. </li>
<li>A configurable toolbar on each tab that can launch applications. </li>
<li>By dropping a file onto a folder browser, the folder is navigated to it. By this, the location of one folder browser may be copied to the one of another. It is not possible to copy or move a file to another application. </li>
<li>The complete inability to change the browsed files and folders by accident - except if you configure the toolbar in such a way. </li>
</ul>
<p>Further information about the current state of the project:</p>
<ul>
<li>Single-selection of files in each browser. </li>
<li>Double-click on file opens it in its standard application, no context menu. </li>
<li>No additional information about files, e.g., file size, last change date etc. </li>
</ul>
<p>Besides of what it does or does not do, here is an idea about what this application can be used for: </p>
<p>Diff applications are one of the key tools of software version control systems (VCS). At least with the ones I used they were integrated well into the VCS and not much trouble to use. However, when it comes to comparing files which are on the file system, not much effort is made to aid the user in the file selection process. Often enough the user has to click his way through half the file system to get to the folders containing the needed files (okay, if he's halfway smart he would probably paste the path from Windows Explorer to some file dialog) and little help is provided for people desiring to do multiple subsequent comparisons.</p>
