ANNOUNCE: TOXFile 0.1 - cross-platform file manager

[blacksqr]

I'm happy to announce release of TOXFile 0.1, the first pure Tcl/Tk,
cross-platform, drag/drop-enabled, explorer-style file manager.

TOXFile has many of the basic features of a good file explorer:
tree-view directory pane plus list-view contents pane, toolbar, address
bar, right-click context menus, multiple file selection drag and drop,
a simple text file viewer/editor and file search.

On top of that, it's modular and configurable, external programs for
viewing and editing files can be assigned by file type, and it has a
Tcl plugin API for specialty tasks. Adding more advanced features
should be fairly easy.

Being pure Tcl/Tk, it of course recognizes and displays Tcl virtual
filesystems. So it can be more than a file viewer, it is just one vfs
away from being able to handle any sort of tree-format information.
This combined with the ability to add plugins for specialty tasks gives
TOXFile the potential to be a highly useful general purpose
hierarchical information manager.

Very nice. I've long wondered why a tool like this (making use of
BWidgets dnd) did not exist.
