worker [options]
worker [directory1[ directory2]]

worker is a graphical file manager for the X Window System. It uses the classical two-panel view of the files and directories. It has many internal operations while any external program can also be used for operating on the selected items.
You can easily add actions to filetypes or buttons with the builtin configuration program.
