Hi

Please recommend a file manager. I need a good one to make my wife happy.
We used to settle with the the file manager that comes default with Gnome,
but now that one can't rename files any more (it actually can initially,
but stop responding to keyboard very soon).

please help

thanks

grml ships clex, mc, rox-filer, vfu and vifm. rox-filer is a graphic
one which might fit best of that list. If that's not what you're
searching for, try the filemanagers of the desktop environments like
konqueror of KDE or thunar of XFCE. (Gnome sucks by default. ;))

I use debian sid mainly and tried Rox, XFE, Xffm and couldn't get on
with any of them. I found emelfm which I use now and quite like; it's
not pretty but the functionality and stability seems superior to those
others.

Only 565kB of installed size, cute!

Thanks for mentioning it, Clive - I've added it to the grml chroot,
let's see whether people like it. :)

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of input I was looking for. thanks for
sharing. Stability, yeah, that's a key thing to me too.

Wow, I normally don't use file managers, but I think I like this one
already.

Hi,

I tried http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/ after I read about it in the
German "Linux User" Magazine two days ago. It is small, it behaves
strongly like Windows, but it works ;)

Dont know, if it is already available in Debian since I dont hav a
debian Desktop System at the moment. Had to use the Sources from the
website under gentoo and it compiled rather quick and without bigger
Problems.

maybe that is something for you.

bye,
Robert.

JFYI: pcmanfm is available as debian package (see
http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/download.html for details), but
requires 14.0MB of additional space on grml.

Hi
Please recommend a file manager. I need a good one to make my wife happy.
We used to settle with the the file manager that comes default with Gnome,
but now that one can't rename files any more (it actually can initially,
but stop responding to keyboard very soon).

I use debian sid mainly and tried Rox, XFE, Xffm and couldn't get on
with any of them. I found emelfm which I use now and quite like; it's
not pretty but the functionality and stability seems superior to those
others.

Regards

Clive

Hi,

I tried http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/ after I read about it in the
German "Linux User" Magazine two days ago. It is small, it behaves
strongly like Windows, but it works ;)

Dont know, if it is already available in Debian since I dont hav a
debian Desktop System at the moment. Had to use the Sources from the
website under gentoo and it compiled rather quick and without bigger
Problems.

maybe that is something for you.

bye,
Robert.
