Mafima is a Perl/Tk-based file manager designed for UNIX systems with X11 support. It allows users to easily manage, organize, and manipulate files on their system.
Mafima is a Unix file manager designed with X11 and programmed with Perl/Tk. It features an easy-to-navigate design, featuring a window composed of four rows: two for directories, and two for files. It has all the standard file management functionalities like copying, moving, renaming, and deleting, but what sets it apart is its ability to view and edit various file types.
Mafima's navigation scheme is akin to that of a web browser—you can navigate down directories with a down button, view a hotlist (similar to bookmarks or favorites), and easily access previously visited directories through its history list. Created primarily for personal use, this application is a testament to what's possible with Perl/Tk.
While it is highly functional and works well as a file manager, bear in mind that it comes with absolutely no warranty. It is up to the user to take responsibility for their actions, in case of something going awry.
System requirements for using Mafima include a UNIX- and X11-capable computer, Perl 5.005 or later, Perl/Tk 800.015 or later, and a few Perl/Tk modules (check checkSystem.pl to verify that everything is in place).
The latest version of Mafima comes with some exciting new features, including copy/cut/paste functionality, the ability to unzip files zipped with bzip2, and file/grep pattern windows are now available. Code clean-up has also been done to improve the user experience. Overall, Mafima is a valuable tool that can help enhance file management on the UNIX platform.
