It took a while, but finally @gcmd version 2 (to be precise, version 2.0.3) just made it into #Gentoo #Linux

#GnomeCommander

In order to make viewer’s keyboard shortcuts configurable and Quick View feature realistic I find myself refactoring main window actions, >2k lines of code – again, I’ve already done that four months ago. This is unfortunately an annoyingly common occurrence lately. Prior to Gnome Commander 2.0 release the goal was to make things work *somehow*. Now the goal is getting maintainable and extensible code. And that means revisiting pretty much everything once again.

#GnomeCommander

Just landed on the development branch: tabbed interface for the internal viewer. Instead of opening ever new windows the internal viewer now keeps everything neatly organized in one window, one tab per file.

The viewer is now a component which can be reused elsewhere. The idea is to implement a Quick View feature: a viewer showing up in a panel, displaying whichever file is selected in the opposite panel. This still requires some refactoring of the panels however.

Gnome Commander 2.0.3 is out, fixing eight annoyances this time. Most importantly, keyboard input focus will no longer be in nirvana after clicking toolbar buttons, and overlong file list contents will be ellipsized rather than cut off. The remaining six issues are evenly split between the Search dialog and the internal viewer.
