Overview
File management - Central to the program is the single or dual-pane file manager which allows files to be opened with a single click into the editor, viewer, archive manager or other tools. The file manager has all the normal file management functions but also includes useful features such as path copying and bookmarking and easy nested folder creation.
Archive management - Filedoyen comes with a powerful archive manager which can work with most compression formats including ZIP, RAR and CAB. As the archive manager is coupled to the file manager, a single click on an archive will open it. A unique feature is that a file within the archive can, with a click of the mouse, be previewed in the editor or viewer.
Text Editor - The built-in text editor is also coupled to the file manager. Its features include a spell checker with live spelling, a thesaurus, line numbering and syntax highlighting for a number of popular programming languages. Other features allow HTML files to be viewed as code or with the built-in Web browser and DOC files to be shown as plain text.
Image viewing - The coupled image viewer is designed to allow numerous files to be viewed in quick succession - especially when scrolling a list of image files with the arrow keys. Filedoyen supports over 20 image formats including BMP, JPG, GIF, TIF and DIB etc.
Archive and folder search - The search utility enables files to be found anywhere on a drive, even within large groups of compressed archives (ZIP, CAB etc. Once a file has been found it can be loaded directly into the editor/viewer or if located in an archive it can be loaded via the archive manager.
Hex Editor - Filedoyen comes with a built-in hex editor that can be coupled to file manager. The hex editor enables one to see or edit the raw and exact contents of a file instead of the just the interpretation of the file which a higher level editor or application associated with the file format would allow.
File and Folder Compare - The file and folder compare utilities allow two files or folders (typically main and backup) to be compared. After compare, added, deleted or modified lines (in file compare) or files (in folder compare) are highlighted with different colors.
Extended Capabilities - There is also the option to use (IE) extensions to open many other file formats. Depending on what extensions are installed, PDF and multimedia files for example can be opened within Filedoyen. This option is enabled with the Options dialog.
Flexible Layout - Filedoyen has a flexible layout that can be set to your preferences or modified as you go. For example, the editor/viewer can be in large mode with the main file manager to the side or in small mode with the main file manager above (useful if you just need a quick look. Flicking between the two views or hiding the editor/viewer takes but one mouse click. Other layout features include the newly introduced collapsible toolbars and file manager tree panels - useful for when you need that little bit extra screen space.
These are just some of the features Filedoyen has to offer. Therefore, whether you want to just shuffle some files around, decompress a Zip archive, edit a file, look at some images or Web files, compare folders or files, search for files, text or within archives or even get down to the basics and edit a file in hex, Filedoyen can do it all and more - easily.
