muCommander v1.4.0
------------------

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

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 11 or later is required to run muCommander.
Java 20 is recommended, you can download it from https://adoptium.net/temurin.

If you're having problems launching muCommander, make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the directory
where your Java runtime is installed.


What's new since v1.3.0 ?
-----------------------

New features:
- Added Google Cloud Storage as a file protocol that enables browsing and managing files in GCS buckets.
- Added optional keyboard shortcut visual hints for actions invoked by clicks rather than keyboard.
- Add OneDrive as a file protocol (including browsing, uploading and downloading capabilities).

Improvements:
- The 'Space' key can be used to filter filenames with spaces in quick search. Files can be selected during an ongoing
  quick search using CTRL+Space (that was replaced with CTRL+SHIFT+Space for 'Popup menu' action).
- Changed 'Store login and password' to 'Store credentials' to reflect that additional properties, like ssh-key, are also stored.
- Set Shift+F4 as the default alternative keyboard shortcut for "Make file" action.
- Command line (of Terminal) it can be now visible in folder view  

Localization:
-

Bug fixes:
- Fixed copying files to Finder.
- Fixed drag-and-drop of action buttons in the 'Customize command bar' dialog.
- Fixed Toolbar and Command bar actions not being updated when their shortcuts changed in Preferences. 

Known issues:
- Some translations may not be up-to-date.
- SMB support may not work properly on non-multi-language JRE.
- 'Copy files to clipboard' not working with some applications (files are not pasted).
- Authentication issues when using several sets of credentials (login/password) for the same server.
- Untrusted HTTPS connections are allowed without a warning.
- Windows Vista/7: "java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: recv failed" error can appear when trying to access FTP
  sites. This seems to be a Windows firewall problem, with a possible workaround:
  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7077696
- 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.
- The application fails to run when installed from a dmg package with the error: "muCommander" is damaged and can't be opened.
  On macOS Ventura, grant permission to the Terminal in Settings>Privacy & Security>App Management and run: sudo xattr -cr /Applications/muCommander.app.
  On older versions of macOS, run: sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/muCommander.app.

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://[email protected] ~/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
