Command line arguments
You can start fman from the command line:
fman [left_dir [right_dir]]
For example, if you type fman . then the current directory is
opened in fman's left pane. If you enter just fman then the
directories from your last session are opened. Finally,
fman ~ ~/Downloads opens your home and Downloads
directories in the left and right panes, respectively.
In order for this to work, you need to update your operating system's PATH:
On Windows, you need to add fman's installation directory
C:/Users/<Username>/AppData/Local/fman
to your PATH environment variable. (You have to at least restart the command
console in order for this change to take effect.)
On Mac, you need to add
/Applications/fman.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/
to your PATH. You can do this by adding the following line to
~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:
export PATH=/Applications/fman.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin:$PATH
You may have to execute source ~/.bashrc (or likewise for
.bash_profile) in order for the changes to take effect.
On Linux it should "just work". fman's command-line
executable is in /usr/bin, which is usually already on the
PATH.
