NAME
emelFM2
SYNOPSIS
a GTK+2 file manager
DESCRIPTION
emelFM2 is a file manager for UNIX-like operating systems. It uses a
simple and efficient interface pioneered by Norton Commander in the
1980’s. The main window is divided into three "panes" or "panels". Two
of them show information about the contents of selected filesystem
directories. That information is presented as text. The third pane
shows the output of commands executed within the program.
A built-in command-line, toolbar buttons or assigned keys can be used
to initiate commands. A flexible filetyping mechanism provides
user-determined actions for desired filetypes.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

At session-start, show DIR in the first filelist pane.

-i,--ignore-problems
Ignore the encoding/locale problems (use at your own risk!).
-l,--log-all
