This program is simply a LIRC based file navigator. It can be controlled by the mouse or LIRC and can execute the program for specific file extensions. Great for people with a collection of media files and a LIRC enabled player like mplayer and, of cource, a working install or LIRC and your favorite IR remote.

Features

• Just-type quick searching ('/' goes to the next match).
• Book-marking often visited directories.
• Mounting, unmounting and ejecting mount points in the fstab.
• Remembers:
  • Window position
  • Window size
  • Last visited directory
  • Last selected file
• Can ignore LIRC input while the child process is running to allow over lapping buttons between lircnav and the child application.

LIRC Commands:

up_dir - Moves up the directory tree.

        select -
                * If a directory is selected it changes into that directory.
                * If a file with a known extention is selected, the program
                  specified is executed.
                * All other files, or special files are ignored.

        up - Moves the selection one option up.

        down - Moves the selection one option down.

        page_up - Moves the selection a page of options up. The number it
                  moves depends on the windows size.

        page_down - Moves the selection a page of options down. The number it
                    moves depends on the windows size.

        The next 3 options will act on the selected file. if '.' is selected
        the current directory, if '..' is selected the directory above the
        current.  and the specific file, if a directory. These only apply if
        the matching file is listed as a mount point in the /etc/fstab. Also
        you must have permissions to perform these as your user or it wont
        work.

        NOTE: If you don't already have 'user' in the options section (forth
        column) in /etc/fstab for your cdrom you will need it to uses these
        functions as a user.
