1. The keyboard management is now quite complete :

• All actions have a keyboard shortcut (the letter underlined in the button text)
• TAB navigation through the panels
• MAJ and CTRL for performing multiple selections with mouse or up/down keys.
• ESC for cancelling dialog windows

2. Register many root directories to browse and switch between them

3. Basis for image management : image preview and view

4. CodePress integration for syntax highlighting (file edition).

I will have a little refactoring according to my software engineer mate Mathieu, and put new numbers to the releases. The current release are functionnal but still quite experimenting, and I know I will have soon or late to make a huge refactoring. So the versions 1.X will be renamed 0.1.X, in order to attain a first stable version with release 0.2.

The main upcoming features for 0.2 will be :

• Keyboard navigation: shortcuts for all actions
• Users management: users logon, preferences, bookmarks, etc. I still have to think about a nice way of managing user disconnexion, since it is always very messy in framed applications (one frame is disconnected, the other is not, etc.)
• Add many root directories

Some useful features that will come in 0.1.5 (end of the week I think, it is already done, I just need time to package…)

• Better image management : image preview in tooltip when mouseover image file
• CodePress integration for syntax highlighting when editing a code file (js, sql, php, java, perl, css)
• Keyboard events : use UP/DOWN and SHIFT+UP/DOWN to browse and select files in the files list
• Keyboard events : use TAB to navigate between sidebar tree and files list panel

If you have any features request or bug found, please feel free to leave a comment here, or add it in the Sourceforge. trackers.

This new release focuses on multiple selection, and a huge refactoring has been done in the background to prepare for future improvements

• Use of “Maj+click” and “Ctrl+click” to perform multiple selections on either files or folders (or both) and copy/move/delete them at once. Particularly, the copy/move actions were not implemented in the previous versions for folders.
• GUI ideas to help download of many files at once
• Minor display bug fixes
• Huge refactoring : object oriented modularization of the code, both on PHP and JS side. Better configuration handling. Removed unused and confusing config files.
