What is AC Browser ?

	AC Browser is a file manager with the ability to 
add comments to files and directories. Such a comment behaves 
like a standard file property.
Other key features : 

	File coloring by extension. Documents can be shown brown, 
executive red and bold. Etc.

	Quick view, recognizable jpg, bmp, gif, png, tif, tga 
also :  mp3, wav, mpg, avi, and many others multimedia files...

	Thubmnails' view.

	Regular Expression searching supported while searching 
text in files. Also in the Text Quick View.


	Ability to follow the links while searching for files.
(Great to create a set of directories of ceartain type to be 
searched).

	Ability to use operators OR and AND while searching for 
files.

	Ability to paste, and Dragging & Dropping images into
the browser. Will be saved as a file in chosen format.

	Simple image converting in fly during pasting an image 
into the browser (size, number of colors, format). Also possible
in Quick View (F3).

	Quick Access Bar - type 'help', to filter only files 
having (not beginning with, but having) the word help. Type [0-9]*.* 
to files beginning with a digit.

	Browsing while Dragging and dropping - during these 
operations you can still browse through directory tree, by simply 
clicking space on the desired directory.

	You can drop files into the executive files (exe, bat, com)
(will be started with dropped files) as well as into the links to 
the executive files. Also to the links (*.lnk files) to the directories. 

	Creating list of files\directories, on which yuo can then operate 
like on a normal directory.

	Besides : most of the operations is started in separate 
threads. File searching (possible many simultaneously  
running windows), file copying, moving, counting directory 
size - all of these in separate threads, which means you don't have 
to stop working.  Also running application is started in a new thread, 
so it doesn't block AC Browser, furthermore, when the executed application 
breaks, it doesn't lock the manager.



	You can use it freely by unlimited time on unlimited computers.

	Watch if there is the next version ! 
Expected in the last days of the November 2002.
