NAME
GWorkspace - GNUstep Workspace Manager
SYNOPSIS
GWorkspace
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the GWorkspace GNUstep application. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because
the original program does not have a manual page.
GWorkspace is the official GNUstep workspace manager. It is a clone of NeXT's workspace manager.
GWorkspace is probably one of the most useful and usable workspace managers available on any platform, owing to its well-designed interface
and the natural, consistent design that it inherits from the GNUstep framework.
The first time you run GWorkspace you must set some preferences:
GWorkspace needs a default editor to work. It can also be an app-wrapper. To set your editor, open the preferences window and choose
"Default Editor" from the pop-up, then click on the "choose" button: from an open-panel you will be able to browse your directories and
choose the editor.
GWorkspace lets you open a terminal on the current directory (alt-t). To set your preferred terminal (the default is "xterm"), choose
"XTerminal" from the pop-up.
MODULES
Besides its standard Contents Inspectors, that is, App, Folder, Image, Sound, Pdf-Ps, Rtf, text, Plist, Strings and Inspector viewers,
GWorkspace can dynamically load other modules which you can build separately. It is sufficient to put them in a place where GWorkspace
looks for them, for example: ~/GNUstep/Library/GWorkspace.
In the same way you can add other viewers besides the standard Browser, Icon and Small Icons viewers. If you want to write a new inspector
or a new viewer, take a look in the Template directory.
LANGUAGES
GWorkspace speaks English, French, German, Italian and Romanian.
