Frigate is a new breed of file managers that is more
of a command center, rather then a simple “file
copying and renaming automation utility”. The first
important distinction is that it comes with functional
modules that can be plugged in or disabled. In
particular, the program has built-in file viewers
(DBF, RTF, HTML, DOC, Excel, Hex), smart assistant
utilities (TreeNotes, StartUp Manager, Calculator,
SmartPad, Directory Size Manager), file navigation
options (Favorites, Bookmarks, Quick View), mp3 tag
editor, image viewer and editor, and internal
compression agent (Zip, Arj, Rar, Ace, Jar, Ha, Lha
and four other formats).
Second, the program features own text editor with
syntax support for most popular programming and
scripting languages, like C, C++, Perl, Java, Pascal,
VBScript, Bat, HTML, XML and others. Plus, there is a
method navigator feature that can instantly find a
desired function or procedure. Other developer-
friendly options are HTML support system and export in
HTML and RTF with color highlighting.
There also are a built-in FTP client, network support,
file/folder synchronization options, task scheduler,
image converter, file search engine, offline browser,
recent file actions history feature and much more.
And yes, there are multiple automation and batch
processing options for common file operations
(copying, moving, deleting, re-naming), including an
option to schedule them.
Best of all, the program features a clean and simple
interface, free of any extraneous features. The plug-
in module program architecture allows users to have
access to a wealth of file managing options, without
cluttering their computer screen with countless
windows. To access a module, users only have to click
an appropriate tab. All windows can be minimized.
And while the program targets advanced computer users,
the learning curve for it is rather low.
