+      Worker is a two-pane file manager for the X Window System on UN*X. The
+      directories and files are shown in two independent panels supporting a lot
+      of advanced file manipulation features. The main focus is to make managing
+      files easy with full keyboard control, also assisting in finding files and
+      directories by using history of accessed directories, live filtering, and
+      access to commands by using the keyboard.
