* USBManager *

1. ABOUT

  USBManager is a simple and intuitive tool developed to help people who
have hard times managing their's USB storage devices on GNU/Linux. It's
written in Python and has some dependencies explained here[1]. If you
want to know how does it looks, check these[2] screenshots.

  It was conceived in a real moment of difficulty. All the story is
written (in portuguese) here[3]. Since then I've tried to find new
features to add and I'm open for suggestions, you can contac me at
Launchpad[4] or leave a sugestion here[5]. Any bug sould be posted
here[6].

  USBManager wiki can be found here[7] and here[8].

2. INSTALLING

  Installing USBManager is really simple. Just run the following line
with root super powers:
# ./setup.py install


3. USING USBMANAGER

  USBManager is really simples to use. Maybe the more intersting way to
use it is the 'system tray mode'. The system tray mode, creates a status
icon an keep tack of the new devies added or the removed devices, it is
perfect to be called during the system startup. To use it just call the
following line:
$ usbmanager --tray

 To run it in the 'main mode', where no system tray is created, just
call the following line:
$ usbmanager

 To view an specific device properties you can call it like this:
$ usbmanager /dev/sda1

6. THANKS

  Thanks to anyone involved in the development or translation of this
project, since the GNU Project creators, passing through Linux kernel 
to GNOME Project and Guido Van Rousseau (Python). In other words, to 
the open source comunity. Special thanks for my dear wife that always 
support me.
