Release Dates
-
March 31, 2008 - Version 0.1.0
Description
Cruiser places an icon in your system tray that activates a recursive menu system. The initial purpose is to allow you to browse your filesystem, but Cruiser is designed to be extended with plugins using D-Bus, so it can take on many different roles.
Comments
At one point I decided it would be fun to start working on a Folder Cruiser like program that encorporated some of the ideas I had after building the shareware Folder Cruiser. The ideas I had in mind were tobuild menus from scratch that had scrollbars and resizable borders and to make it very extensible via plugins. It was built for Linux just because I use Linux a lot at home, and because I wanted to do some programming with Qt and DBus.
OS/Languages/Libraries
- OS: Linux (Qt4), Could probably be made cross platform.
- Language: C++ (core), Python (plugins), (plugins could be developed in any language with suport for DBus.)
- Libraries: Qt4, DBus, STL
Status
I haven't really worked on it since I made the 0.1.0 release. If other developers were interested in working on it, or if there were users who were requesting features, I would probably do some work on it again.
