Endeavour's front ends are programs that provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to some common command line programs that you may use in conjunction with Endeavour to maintain drives or manage files.
Most front ends require a third party command line application (which is detected at runtime). For example the Download Front End requires the wget program.
Called by Endeavour whenever a URL with a http://
or ftp://
prefix is dragged on to Endeavour's
file browser or image browser, the Download Front End uses
wget to download the specified
URL while displaying a graphical progress dialog.
You can set the Download Front End program's location by going to Settings->Options->Programs. The typical location for this program is:
/usr/lib/endeavour2/bin/download.front
You can also run this program without arguments to prompt the user for a url to download.
Often set as the program for the Format Command of a Device Reference, it is a front end for command line programs fdformat and superformat (whichever is detected at run time, in that order).
You should run Endeavour at least once and set up your device references before running this program. The typical location for this program is:
/usr/lib/endeavour2/bin/format.front
Often set as the program for the Check Command of a Device Reference, it is a front end for the command line program fsck.
You should run Endeavour at least once and set up your device references before running this program. The typical location for this program is:
/usr/lib/endeavour2/bin/fsck.front
For use with IOMega JAZ and ZIP drives, this is a graphical program often set as the Tools Command of a Device Reference. It uses the ziptool program to control the JAZ or ZIP drive. Note that the ziptool program should have the permission setuid set.
You should run Endeavour at least once and set up your device references before running this program. The typical location for this program is:
/usr/lib/endeavour2/bin/ziptool.front
