Evidence - file-manager
* Sports different views so whatever you are doing, you'll have the most 
  intuitive grasp on your files:
    o icon-view (efm-like and fully themable)
    o browser-view -- perfect for those MP3/Ogg directories!
        Do you ever get fed up going down two levels (from music to artist to 
        album) for each song you want to add to a playlist, then going back to 
        music for the next song? Then this is for you.
    o tree-view
* Also features a "micro-shell" (a la efm-"typebuffer") for 
  keyboard-afficionados
    o Selected a group of unlikely-named files in the GUI, then apply a 
      shell-command to them!
    o Pick some files and paste that (primary) selection into your 
      favourite shell or editor!
* May be built against enlightenment 17 libraries for state-of-the-art eye-candy 
  and pluggable themes.
    o Compose icons out of any number of evas objects such as images or 
      gradients, with on-the-fly tinting/shading and alpha composition.
    o Use jpg, png, or ebg.edb (e17 background database made with ebony, 
      optionally composed on top of pseudo-transparency) as a backdrop
    o Plugins are determined by a theme-file. Support for features not used 
      by a given theme (e.g. pseudo-transparency) need not be loaded. Make themes 
      as outlandish eye-candy as they get, or save loads of memory if you don't! 
      No bloat!
    o Plugins can be built/added at a later date without having to rebuild 
      the main application.

* Supports plugins for custom Meta-Data such as MP3/Ogg song titles, picture 
  dimensions, and more.
    o Comes with example plugins for Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, and images, turning 
      evidence into a MP3/ID3/Vorbis tag editor right out of the box.
    o Plugins for your own file-types are easily written.
    o Plugins are loaded on-demand. For example, the MP3 plugin will not be 
      loaded until you access the first MP3 file. It will also be unloaded if 
      haven't touched a MP3-file in a while. No bloat.
    o Plugins can be built/added at a later date without having to rebuild 
      the main application.

* Pluggable backends. If you want to go above and beyond UNIX/POSIX file-ops, 
  use an alternate backend supporting efsd (the enlightened file-system daemon), 
  GNOME-VFS or kioslaves (forthcoming).
    o Default "POSIX" backend supports Access Control Lists and Extended 
      Attributes.
    o Plugins can be built/added at a later date without having to rebuild 
      the main application.
