# Introduction

Here's a screenshot of &krusader;
Krusader Logo

&krusader; is an advanced twin-panel (commander-style) file-manager for &kde; 3.2 (similar to Midnight or Total Commander) with many extras.

It provides all the file management features you could possibly want. Plus: extensive archive handling, mounted filesystem support, &FTP;, advanced search module, viewer/editor, directory synchronisation, file content comparisons, powerful batch renaming and much, much more. It supports the following archive formats: tar, zip, bzip2, gzip, rar, ace, arj, iso and rpm. It can handle other &kioslaves1_url; such as smb:// or fish://. It is (almost) completely customizable, very user friendly, fast and looks great on your desktop! :-) You should give it a try.
