There is also the gtk filebrowser ''gentoo'' not to be confused with
the distribution. You can make similar hooks...complete control...but
i've noticed it is a little buggy with some batch processing i've done.
Most likely it was my script's fault. It is gtk1, so it is *fast*.

Typing

# emerge gentoo

on gentoo does seem a little odd, however :o
