- ArchAssistant v0.4 -
----------------------
ABOUT:
------
ArchAssistant is a systray docking app that lets you have quick access to various administration aspects of the Arch Linux distro. The main feature is a gui for the Arch's network profiles system (using the netcfg command line), which is very useful for laptop users.
FEATURES:
---------
- quick access to the main system files (ie rc.conf, profile, pacman.conf, xorg.conf ...) via a built-in simple text editor.
- netcfg2 front-end : quite complete GUI for the Arch's network profile system. You can connect to, create and edit network profiles in a few clicks. ArchAssistant has an autostart functionality that lets the app connect to the first wifi network discovered upon start.
- the pacman part has been mostly disabled (didn't work as expected).
- collection of the most useful command lines to check system informations.
- custom app launcher from menu
- download clipboard's url with your favorite download manager
- load/eject CD-ROM tray
- instant connection wizard
- english, french, german translations
REQUIREMENTS:
-------------
- arch linux distro !
- QT (I mean qt4)
- netcfg2

I would thank you for this nice piece of software.
I'm interested in translating archassistant in Italian, but I found only de.ts and fr.ts files.
Thanks in advance.
