Despite appearances it is a file manager and not a command line though cheers to Miechu for trying to bundle in functions that are very utility oriented. The chart concept (CTRL+G) pleased me, very well done. I also look forward to seeing how Network Mastah progresses...though this seems to be a departure and best a part of Freemeter 2.0 ~ Files can be opened with any application by copying the path of a file (CTRL+c)then pressing TAB (or ALT+SPACE if you prefer) to open up the Launcherview, type in a few letters to trim down the results and press CTRL+ENTER to pass the filename and path (contents of the clipboard) as an argument. If the filetype is associated with an application then simply press ENTER. Proto will let you know if it doesn't know what to do with the file... My brother, also a "techie", sees this as a work in progress, and it is, but already I am able to use it effectively in my daily work. It runs stable on XP. Navigating my files has never been easier. Most OSs require exploration of the file-structure and Proto enables the user to do just that... with a speed and (after a while) seeming ease. I've even abandoned notepad to jot down notes. Instead, I prefer using CTRL+N to create empty folders, CTRL+SHIFT+n to open an empty file, and CTRL+h to begin editing it. CTRL+s saves as one would expect. Since a lot of research is copy/paste material with comments this is most effective. Renaming a file is as simple as CTRL+R (in file view)! CTRL+i for color coding is another plus. While Proto defaults to 'hide on focus loss' when launched it is an option to uncheck when you right click its icon in the notification area. A configuration file would be a welcome addition. Just keep in mind that what Miechu is trying to present to us is the fastest filemanager on the planet... The place to be making requests like this though is not here, but at: http://miechu.pl/proto/tracker.aspx A review would not be complete without mentioning any flaws. Very few. The file viewer opens the file for editing by default, but since it is hard to press <CTRL+s> by mistake that shouldn't be an issue. My problem with the editor/viewer is that while it doesn't take up the entire screen, since I cannot move it and it is centered, it might as well... unless you are working strictly with it and Proto positioned above or below it. It would be nice to hide this window along with proto so work can continue with other applications. Also, while it offers secure delete methods, evidently 'delete to recycle bin' is one of them since somehow it corrupts the file as recovery returns only unreadable text. As such I must caution the new user to practice Proto in a noncritical area of your file storage. Mistakes will be made as you first get used to the interface but I think you will find it rewarding in the long run. I certainly have. 358764 2008-02-08T10:51:37Z 95517 2009-11-27T02:33:59Z Proto 96 2009-11-12T08:20:48Z http://miechu.pl/Proto/ http://wakoopa.com/software/proto http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/009/984/normal.png?1238586290 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/009/984/thumb.png?1238586290 34188 Mieszko Lassota http://wakoopa.com/developers/mieszko-lassota Managing your files 58 File Management http://wakoopa.com/categories/utilities/file-management win Proto is a next generation file manager.

I find it to be a very stable environment ... and very lean in terms of overhead -- as it should be. Like any *nix system it is extensible though I have run into compilation issues where Apple versions failed dependency requirements.

But wait there's more ;) you also get all of your network oriented commands at your fingertips. You must have admin privs to install and use WaterRoof.

Use this is conjunction with your firewall logs (ie. ipfw.log) to more fully understand the communication exchange between you and the offending ip. I have a Mac, yet some box in Beijing was littering UDP packets concerning my Windows OS being infected by viruses: updated my firewall rules, contacted their isp with logfiles, and moved on. Also useful for troubleshooting any network communication from web based apps to email servers... The install was painless. One of my favourite features is the "use multiple files" with "ring buffer" selected. This allows you to have a rolling 24 hours of logs, as an example, allowing the app to run in X windows in the background while you go about your business. Real memory footprint is fairly lean @ 39.48Mb to load, then seems to hold your temp buffer in memory so I'd recommend keeping your file sizes reasonable when performing a capture. CPU usage during capture in background rarely went above 10% ... occasionally spiked but never saw higher than 25.5% . Face it your browser is more resource intensive!
