muCommander v0.9.8
------------------

muCommander is a lightweight, cross-platform file manager with a dual-pane interface.
It runs on any operating system with Java support (macOS, Windows, Linux, *BSD, Solaris...).

Please visit the muCommander project page on GitHub (https://github.com/mucommander) to ask questions,
suggest features, report a bug or browse documentation. Your feedback is always welcome!

Official website: https://www.mucommander.com


Requirements
------------

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8 or later is required to run muCommander.
Java 11 is recommended, you can download it at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/.

If you're having problems launching muCommander, make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the directory
where your Java runtime is installed.


What's new since v0.9.7 ?
-----------------------

New features:
-

Improvements:
- Mouse clicks on the headers of a file table (e.g., NAME, SIZE, DATE) are better detected.
- Require non-headless Java when installing from RPM.
- Use absolute path rather than canonical path in bookmarks to avoid resolving symbolic links.
- Tar archives with headers in the pax format are now supported.
- The free space indicator in the status bar is updated right after relevant events like switching to the application.
- Symbolic links are unpacked from tar archives.

Localization:
- Updated Russian translation

Bug fixes:
- Fix installation using GDebi Package Installer
- Permanent deletion of symbolic links on Windows no longer deletes their linked content.
- Restore file table configuration (column visibility, width and position) on startup also when custom folders are set.
- The default keyboard shortcut for packing files (CTRL+I) opens the 'Pack files' dialog on macOS.

Known issues:
- Mac OS X: "muCommander damaged and cannot be opened" may appear after downloading muCommander from the browser. This
  can be solved by executing: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <jar_name>.jar
- Some translations may not be up-to-date.
- Mac OS X: "Do you want the application "muCommander.app" to accept incoming network connections?" dialog keeps popping
  up on startup even if the dialog has been previously accepted (ticket #339), when 'Bonjour' support is enabled.
- SMB support may not work properly on non multi-language JRE.
- 'Copy files to clipboard' not working with some applications (files are not pasted).
- Mac OS X: some keyboard shortcuts may conflict with global system shortcuts.
- Authentication issues when using several sets of credentials (login/password) for the same server.
- Untrusted HTTPS connections are allowed without a warning.
- Windows Vista/7: "java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: recv failed" error can appear when trying to access FTP
  sites. This seems to be a Windows firewall problem, with a possible workaround:
  https://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7077696
- Unpacking files from 7z archive files can be slow.
- Need to enable NTLM authentication manually in order to authenticate to Samba >= 4.5. This is done by adding 'ntlm auth = yes' to smb.conf.
- Version 5.0 of RAR is not supported. Such archives would appear empty.
- Issues with browsing Documents/Desktop/Downloads on macOS may be solved by resetting Security and Privacy settings.
  See https://github.com/mucommander/mucommander/wiki/Reset-Security-&-Privacy-Settings-on-macOS for more details.
- Mac OS X: muCommander may not be able to start on version <= 10.10 (OS X Yosemite) due to incompatibility of the bundled JRE.
  This can be solved by installing Java 8 and running '/Applications/muCommander.app/Contents/replace_jre.sh'.

Command Line Interface
----------------------

muCommander comes with a few command line switches.
The following options are available:
 -a FILE, --assoc FILE             Load associations from FILE.
 -b FILE, --bookmarks FILE         Load bookmarks from FILE.
 -c FILE, --configuration FILE     Load configuration from FILE
 -C FILE, --commandbar FILE        Load command bar from FILE.
 -e FOLDER, --extensions FOLDER    Load extensions from FOLDER.
 -f FILE, --commands FILE          Load custom commands from FILE.
 -i, --ignore-warnings             Do not fail on warnings (default).
 -k FILE, --keymap FILE            Load keymap from FILE
 -p FOLDER, --preferences FOLDER   Store configuration files in FOLDER
 -S, --silent                      Do not print verbose error messages
 -s FILE, --shell-history FILE     Load shell history from FILE
 -t FILE, --toolbar FILE           Load toolbar from FILE
 -u FILE, --credentials FILE       Load credentials from FILE
 -h, --help                        Print the help text and exit
 -v, --version                     Print the version and exit
 -V, --verbose                     Print verbose error messages (default)
 -w, --fail-on-warnings            Quits when a warning is encountered during
                                   the boot process.

In addition to these, muCommander will interpret anything that comes after the last switch as a URI and load it in
its windows.
So for example:

 mucommander -b ~/.bookmarks.xml ftp:https://[email protected] ~/dev https://slashdot.org

Will:
 - read bookmarks from ~/bookmarks.xml
 - load a connection to myftp.com in the left panel of the main window
 - load ~/dev in the right panel of the main window
 - open a second window and load https://slashdot.org in its left panel
 - load the default directory in the second window's fourth panel
