DogWhistle can be seen as either a remote-control for the Tracker, or as an Explorer-like tree-view app. Based on the principle of not re-inventing the wheel, it opens and closes Tracker windows you select in its tree-view, thus providing all the functionality of the Tracker with the flexibility and intuitiveness of a tree-based view of the filesystem.
Click on a directory name to open a Tracker window, double-click to close (If Close Previous Window is enabled, windows will be automatically closed when you open a new one). Click on the triangles to expand the tree view.
You can open multiple windows in Close Previous Window mode by shift-clicking in the tree view.
You can customise the root of the tree by adding (or deleting) symlinks to folders to the folder /boot/home/config/settings/DogWhistle
