[needs-packaging] 4Pane

[David Hart]

4Pane is a multi-pane, tabbed file manager, designed to be fully-featured without bloat, and aiming for speed rather than visual effects. Each tab has dual twin-panes, each of which has a directory tree-view pane and a detailed-list pane for files.

In addition to standard file manager things, it offers multiple undo and redo of most operations (including deletions), archive management including 'virtual browsing' inside archives, multiple renaming/duplication of files, a terminal emulator and user-defined tools.

Notes: There are already home-made .debs available at the above sites; however I'm sure their packaging will need to be improved.

Thank you for taking the time to make Ubuntu better.

Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion!

I was not able to find this package in Debian or Ubuntu repos. The package did successfully install for me without issue on intrepid.

Thank you for implying that 4Pane might do so ;)

Indeed it's not; but I had understood that the normal way to get a new application considered for inclusion was to create a bug-report of this sort.

Brainstorm seems to be for ideas rather than for new packages; and the FAQ specifically says: "If your request concerns a new package to be included in Ubuntu, you should use the new package requesting guide. Brainstorm is designed to vote and discuss ideas only."

I'm new here, and if I've misunderstood the correct procedures, or was relying on outdated documentation, please do tell me how I should be doing things.
