liquidzoo Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) I was wondering about File Managers. I know the main ones, Konqueror and Nautilus; as well as Rox, but I was wondering what else is out there? I'm looking for a new File Manager for my laptop. I would like it to be graphical. I am using nautilus right now, konq is not an option on the laptop. As you can see in my sig, I run fluxbox on my laptop and the only other wm/de that's installed in Gnome (mostly for libraries, and nautilus) So, what do you use? I know I'll get a lot of nautilus and konqueror responses, but I'm looking for other ones too. If you know of a good one (preferably graphical like the 3 mentioned at the top of the post) then tell us about it. Why do you use it? What do you like about it? Post a link to the website too if you can. I just want to see what's out there that I may have missed, or never would have thought of.

nggalai Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I usuall use GWorkspace as my main file manager. But you'll need GNUstep installed to get it to run. Best two-pane file manager I've found to date: emelFM / emelFM2, respectively. Great stuff. 93, -Sascha.rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Lets take a look at the trusty windows and linux table of equivalents. http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-sof...n/table.shtml#2 This will be in the forum sticky for software when i get round to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) Theres a file manager called gentoo which was fairly decent last time I checked it out. gentoo homepage Of course IMHO xterm (or equivalent) is the best file manager out there.....

mdg Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Krusader is a two pane graphical file manager modelled on the ex windows commander. This is the forum, there's a download link there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 (edited) how much has krusader improved? I used it when konq sucked but now konq rocks in kde-3.2, so I wonder how it compares now? Edited March 28, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
