muCommander v1.5.2
------------------

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
------------

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 11 or later is required to run muCommander.

Please note that muCommander is packaged with a newer version of JRE for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Consequently,
installations from the dmg, msi, deb, and rpm packages may not work on machines that run JRE 11+.
In that case, you can check the noarch-dmg or portable or tgz packages that are not bundled with JRE. If you're
having problems launching muCommander from these packages, make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to
the directory where your Java runtime is installed.


What's new since v1.5.1 ?
-----------------------

Improvements:
- Do not display hidden files by default.
- The scope we connect to Google Drive with was changed to the non-sensitive scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file.

Localization:
- Korean translation updated.

Bug fixes:
- The terminal is no longer stuck for a couple of minutes before a proper prompt appears.

Known issues:
- Some translations may not be up-to-date.
- Authentication issues when using several sets of credentials (login/password) for the same server.
- Untrusted HTTPS connections are allowed without a warning.
- 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.
- macOS: issues with browsing Documents/Desktop/Downloads 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.
- macOS: muCommander may not start on older versions of macOS due to incompatibility of the bundled JRE.
- macOS: "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.
- macOS: some keyboard shortcuts may conflict with global system shortcuts.
- Installing the deb package on Debian < 12 fails with: "error: archive ... uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up".
  A possible workaround is described in: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/745467.

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://user@myftp.com ~/dev http://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 http://slashdot.org in its left panel
 - load the default directory in the second window's fourth panel
