X-Files(l)

NAME
X-Files - graphical file management program for the X Window System

SYNTAX
X-Files [iconified] [left_startupdir [right_startupdir]]

DESCRIPTION
The X-Files program is meant to be run on Unix/X-Window systems. The development has been made under Linux, so that is the only platform that supports all the features of the X-Files.

The configuration is done through configuration files. System-default configuration files are located in For configuring Actionbuttons and extensions, use the editors found in Config -menu. When you save your new attributes from the editors, your own configuration files will be saved in $HOME/.x-files/ directory. If you wish to change the resources or header attributes, for which we do not have editors yet, copy the corresponding system-default files to that same directory and edit them there. The configuration files are loaded primarily from the user's directory. If a file does not exist there, then it is loaded from the system-defaults.

The documentation for X-Files can be found in The same file can be read from the Help -menu (item Main help. You can also use the WWW-version at http://pinhead.tky.hut.fi/~xf_adm/doc/X-Files.document.html Both versions can be downloaded from there.

ARGUMENTS
If you wish to temporarily start with initial directories other than those defined in xfilesrc, give them as command-line arguments.

ENVIRONMENT
X-Files explicitly checks for the following environment variable; if it is present, it will override the program's internal default:

XF_HOME
    A directory path pointing where X-Files can find its configuration files.
