Far manager

far manager is a terminal file manager. It was nice, but I have since replaced it with vifm (which works both for unix, and windows).

Far Manager is an extendable file manager that supports mouse integration. It is very awesome.

Far Settings:

%appdata%/Roaming/Far Manager/Profile		farManager 3 database location
farManager/Documentation/eng/TechInfo.txt http://farmanager.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/ENG/TechInfo.txt		farManager 3 registry key list + explanations (useful for finding database entries)

Far was originally saved all of it's settings in the windows registry. Much of far's \ documentation still points to the registry, or the use of xml \ files to temporarily load registry files when far 3 is run. This is not the case. \ far3 and all of it's plugins stores their configuration info in SQLite3 databases.

SQlite3 Navigation:

## open an sqlite3 database:
sqlite3 AddressBook.sqlitedb

## list all tables:
.tables

## switch mode to line (get column names)
.mode line

## list objects in a table
select * from <tablename>;

   #result:
      key = XLat
      name = Table1
      value = 
   #each of the above lines is a column in the table general_config


## Query A value
select value from general_config where name = 'Flags';


## Modify Value
update <tablename> set <value>='<desiredValue>' where <columnName>;

http://sqlite.org/queryplanner.html

generalconfig.db This is the main config file.

## Set Number of Lines to Scroll (mouse wheel)
sqlite3 %appdata%/roaming/far manager/profile/generalconfig.db update general_config set value='5' where name='MsWheelDelta';
sqlite3 %appdata%/roaming/far manager/profile/generalconfig.db update general_config set value='5' where name='MsWheelDeltaEdit';
sqlite3 %appdata%/roaming/far manager/profile/generalconfig.db update general_config set value='5' where name='MsWheelDeltaHelp';
sqlite3 %appdata%/roaming/far manager/profile/generalconfig.db update general_config set value='5' where name='MsWheelDeltaView';
