DESCRIPTION:
Gtk2 directory browser for SciTE with plenty of keyboard shortcuts for directory and file navigation. It understands some of the Rails directory structure. Subversion file status is highlighted with different colours.
Once upon a time there was a directory browser called jaffm (Just a File Manager). I liked the idea of an ultra simple file browser, but jaffm went extinct. So I wrote hilfer.
