NAME

       GWorkspace - GNUstep Workspace Manager

SYNOPSIS

       GWorkspace

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page documents briefly the GWorkspace GNUstep application.  This manual page
       was written for the Debian distribution because the  original  program  does  not  have  a
       manual page.

       GWorkspace  is  the  official GNUstep workspace manager. It is a clone of NeXT's workspace
       manager.
       GWorkspace is probably one of the most useful and usable workspace managers  available  on
       any platform, owing to its well-designed interface and the natural, consistent design that
       it inherits from the GNUstep framework.

       The first time you run GWorkspace you must set some preferences:
       GWorkspace needs a default editor to work. It can also be an  app-wrapper.   To  set  your
       editor,  open  the  preferences  window  and choose "Default Editor" from the pop-up, then
       click on the "choose" button:  from  an  open-panel  you  will  be  able  to  browse  your
       directories and choose the editor.
       GWorkspace  lets  you  open  a  terminal  on  the  current directory (alt-t).  To set your
       preferred terminal (the default is "xterm"), choose "XTerminal" from the pop-up.

MODULES

       Besides its standard Contents Inspectors, that is, App, Folder, Image, Sound, Pdf-Ps, Rtf,
       text,  Plist, Strings and Inspector viewers, GWorkspace can dynamically load other modules
       which you can build separately. It is sufficient to put them in a place  where  GWorkspace
       looks for them, for example: ~/GNUstep/Library/GWorkspace.
       In  the  same  way  you can add other viewers besides the standard Browser, Icon and Small
       Icons viewers.  If you want to write a new inspector or a new viewer, take a look  in  the
       Template directory.

LANGUAGES

       GWorkspace speaks English, French, German, Italian and Romanian.
