  • Context Menus:
    Right-click on items to access additional file operations.

    Apply custom CSS themes to change the look and feel of the application. Themes are stored in the themes/ directory.

Sequence FM v.4.1 & Gtk-Tools v.1

14th of July 2017: Sequence FM v.4.1 and Gtk-Tools v.1:  Download as a zip package.

This is a bug fix release for Sequence FM. Now the file manager can open files with external programs like it should. An added feature to this release is the terminal command support. If you write: firefox, albix, vlc (or some other program name) to the address bar and press enter then the program will open up. You can also use other terminal commands like rm -r to remove files or folders. Be cautious with terminal commands and use them only if you know what you are doing.

Older post from 2nd of June.

Here is Sequence FM v.4. Code is now a lot cleaner and minimized to (about) 189 lines. In this release I placed resources under their own respected menus and also made right-click menu layout clearer.

Also, a notable change happened to copy, paste, move and delete functionalities. The previous now have their own program: Gtk-Tools, which is dedicated to handle those actions. Gtk-Tools is made out of the old Crosslinker FM code and thus it might seem familiar.
