Now there is no need to resort to listattr and catattr to see the attributes of a file. You can get them easily, from the GUI. Limitations: - No editing support - Only a few well-known types are handled - No support for attributes with array of values or otherwise unexpected size - Special handling for B_TIME_FORMAT which is annoyingly of a different size between 32 and 64bit systems, making the attribute format slightly incompatible. The window is a bit small to show all the information, so the "Type" column is put off-view on the right, one can scroll to it if needed. Vertically there is space for only 4 to 5 entries. It was suggested that we could merge the permissions and information tabs, making the new first tab higher, and thus adding more space to this one as well.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
