    <para>The OFM file manager concept contains 
    <link linkend="features">many features</link> that make them
    powerful enough to belong among the best file managers today.
    The interface is simple: left panel, right panel and a command
    line below. Because of interaction between these three items
    the file managing will become more efficient.</para>
    <para>If you would like to know 
    <ulink url="http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/linux/Krusader-Review-18193.shtml">
    how &krusader; works</ulink> you can try it yourself,
    just install it on your computer. To accept an
    &ofm-url; like &krusader;, the user needs
    to get used to 
    <emphasis>new ideas</emphasis> that are actually already 20
    years old. If you prefer to waste time and lose a lot of
    productivity, you can always continue to use one panel file
    managers that are based on &Windows;
    Explorer.</para>

    <para>The User Interface is based on &ofm-url;
    paradigm, a 20- year old principle that has proven its bones.
    It is known as simple, easy and powerful. In the following
    sections we will cover the basic functions of each part with the
    exception of:</para>

      <para>The &krusader; Main Toolbar, is a standard
      &kde; toolbar that can be dragged around the
      application or configured via a 
      <keycap>Right-Click</keycap> menu. You can decide whether or
      not you want to display it each time you start
      &krusader; in the &konfigstartpg-lnk;,
      and you can toggle its use in the current session in the
      &viewmenu-lnk;. The Main Toolbar contents can be
      configured from the 
      <guimenuitem>Configure Toolbars</guimenuitem> in the
      &settingsmenu-lnk; or the 
      <guilabel>Toolbar</guilabel> tab in the
      &konfiglookandfeel-lnk;. Since various commands
      and options in &krusader; are context-dependent,
      some commands are not always available. The icon of an
      inappropriate or inactive action will be deactivated
      (grayed-out) disabling its use. &bookmarks-lnk;
      can be placed into the Main Toolbar and the Actions Toolbar
      with the mouse using "drag and drop".</para>

          <guimenuitem>Configure Toolbars</guimenuitem>

      <para>Below the 
      <guibutton>Main Toolbar</guibutton> there is a 
      <guibutton>Location Toolbar</guibutton> for each panel. It
      shows the path the panel is currently pointing to. If the
      selected path is too long, it will be automatically shortened
      and an ellipsis "..." will replace the omitted part of the
      path name. When entering archives the path will be displayed
      in the following format: "archive
      name:/directory/archive_filename/the directory inside the
      archive". This format makes the paths uniform and easy to
      read. The 
      <guibutton>Location Toolbar</guibutton> supports also
      &kioslaves1-url; but not all of them, some can
      only be used with the 
      <link linkend="krviewer">viewer</link> and some can not be
      used. The user can enter a desired path by clicking on it.
