Altap Salamander Support Forums

I really like the effort put into RedSalamander. If this project is a tribute to the original Salamander, it's nice to see it's following the same path from the beginning.



It's like a rebirth just 30 years later, same idea, different technologies used at the core.

Well done and keep going!


about fonts - in the Open Salamander, the SegoeUI, 9 DLG is used as default font for the panels. UI uses MSDlg Shell, 8 DLG. I added feature to change the UI font in Samandarin. If SegoeUI,9 is used as the UI panel, the difference is quite obvious - it wastes space (big paddings around).
But it's up to the user in which font she/he wants to use the application

I have to praise the Mole (Krtek) for his effort and what he has done so far. Even the website looks nice. (though I do not like these "infinite scrolling" type. I also have to praise 0xeb and all the guys who put in the effort to keep Salamander alive.

Thank you Guys

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

Salamander has always been something very personal to me. My father is a programmer, and as a child I loved watching over his shoulder and picking up his habits — already around 1997, when he had an Internet connection installed in our apartment. He used Servant Salamander, so I naturally grew up with it. We even had lessons at elementary school where we were taught to use Salamander and search for files with it.

I've kept using Salamander ever since. So when it became open source, and AI-assisted development advanced to the point where I could realistically work with such a large C++ codebase, everything came together. It finally gave me the opportunity to implement panel tabs and many of the other things I had wanted in Salamander for years.

So yes, for me this is definitely more than just another software project.
