| Q: | Is Proto absolutely free? |
| A: | Yup. But you can donate if you really like to via PayPal on Proto website. |
| |
| Q: | Will you add The Two Panes like Total Commander? |
| A: | NO! THERE WILL BE NO !@#$%& TWO PANES IN PROTO, GOT IT? Norton Commander was released like 17 years ago? Seventeen years and all we have is two panes... niiiiiiiiiiiiiice... and yes I know Tufte says about information in parallel (this doesn't apply here). |
| |
| Q: | Proto is always visible - how can I hide it? |
| A: | Press left alt+` to toggle visibility (` is for the key that is on the left side of the 1), seriously - watch the screencasts/read the tutorial/basic keyboard. |
| |
| Q: | How to close a tab? |
| A: | ctrl+W (RTFM/WTFS) |
| |
| Q: | Proto is trying to access the Internet - why? |
| A: | This is for auto-update, nothing is being sent from your computer (except bug report - but you do that by clicking the 'send report' button). |
| |
| Q: | Will there be a folders tree view? |
| A: | Nope - use Explorer if you like to - alt+enter from Proto |
| |
| Q: | Will there be a mouse support? I don't like my keyboard anymore... |
| A: | Nope, nothing more than now... If you don't like typing then stop using Proto, use Explorer or Total Commander or other click-click software instead. Proto is designed for power users, so it can be fast, efficient and help you do the job - quit staring at those shiny icons (which are really nice btw). |
| |
| Q: | Why didn't you add files and folders icons? |
| A: | It's waaaaaaaay too slow to get them from the system, and since Proto MUST be fast, so I just gave up on that idea. Besides icons only complicate things when it comes to file management. |
| |
| Q: | Why do you want to kick Total Commander's ass? |
| A: | It's not that I've got something against TC or those guys who developed it - if you are happy with it that's ok with me - I'm not here to change your life. If you are not satisfied with the idea that is behind all Norton Commander clones (like I am not), then give Proto a try - it's definitely a new look on how you can take advantage over your files ;) |
| |
| Q: | What does 'Proto' mean? |
| A: | What is Proto? |
| |
| Q: | Will feature XXX be implemented? |
| A: | Yes. NO!!!! I don't know... maybe... send me an email and we can talk about it. |
