I use those folders too, they are just annoying in "this pc", especially in file open dialogs when you have to actually scroll down in the folder list to see your real drives.

I do get your point.
But I don't have this problem since my screen is pretty big and so is my "file open dialog"

Also
Should I sync all of these folders to onedrive? There is plenty of space left in my onedrive

How can I if the system keeps trying to hide it from me? It took me forever to find out that "Document Viewer" is actually Evince. I don't know what's up with this recent trend of obfuscating things from the user.

The Amiga was the comfiest computer ever made.

It's probably Nautilus, or some retarded fork of it.

it's nautilus

it's kinda bullshit that they're not stating that. i can understand calling it "files" everywhere else for simplicity's sake and to make it as transparent and intuitive as possible for normos but the about thing should say NAUTILUS.

I'm currently alternating between Nautilus and SpaceFM. It's pretty sad that there's not a single file manager for linux with a well integrated file search, undo functionality and a trash bin.

Dolphin.

>>57635279
It's this theme easy to fully get rid off once you don't like it? Or it messes stuff up upon installation?
>>
>>57637234
It's just a theme that you can change in the Personalize menu just like you would switch to one of the preinstalled High Contrast themes.
>>
>>57635411
It's pretty great. There are some things it can do that I haven't seen from other file managers, such as being able to add files from several different directories to a copy queue and then pasting them all at once to the destination. Also, it works over ssh which is nice when you just want to see something slightly more graphical.
>>
>>57636106
Tip for the future: open a terminal and run
xprop | grep -i class
then click on the program you want to identify.

it wrecks your system if you have the latest update. just keep that in mind and check.

It has a fuckton of KDE dependencies though. Only really worth it if you're using that DE anyway.

No filesearch at all (workaround with catfish is terrible)
No undo functionality

I don't really want a console based file manager.

These represent the very reasonable approach of fully utilizing vertical space in detailed view (Windows Explorer before Vista did that too).

Why do all graphical file managers in Linux have to be so wasteful (like this>>57635071 for example), having all the pointless empty space between items?
>>
>>57636150
>Install
>Install.info
>you had to have the icon and much of the metadata (associated program (known as "default tool"), etc.) in a separate file
>if file foo didn't have a corresponding foo.info, foo had no icon at all and thus was never visible in the native workbench gui, only in the shell or third party file managers like directory opus

How was that a good thing?
>>
>>57636354
For what purpose? How is "Files" a better fucking name that "Nautilus"? Was it changed to appease morons and noggers?
>>

>>57637499
personally i always liked the OSX naming policy where a number of the programs/apps are simply named by what they are and do (mail, calendar, [i]Books, etc).

it's just more straightforward than opening your app folder/menu/bar and having a ist of programs all called SeaUrchin or IceDawg or iExploreFilezManagerApp ..

ofc one could argue that makes more sense in a closed, more strictly controlled environment like the OSX desktop than a fractured platform like linux where distinction is necessary. still that distinction doesn't really have to be visible to the end user

>>
>>57637614

>>
>>57637399
perhaps to be consistent for touch devices ?
>>
>>57637727
everyone's trying to be mac. the windows bottom bar format of large icons, no text is essentially a dock crammed into the lower left corner. unity is basically a dock + a global menu. even some of the more hidden functionality is OSX inspired, eg that you can search application menus now, which is fucking fantastic if you're using something with deep, nested menus like image manipulation software or whatever.

Apple and MS are copying shit left and right, even iOS is lifting stuff from third party apps. remember when multiple desktops were uniquely a linux thing?

imho nothing wrong with getting inspired or lifting elements from the competition. disapproval of the integration of useful features from one platform into another just leads to forced, usually inferior solutions. as long as you do it properly, integrate it in a way to make it look, feel and work as a native component, it's fine by me.

it's the opposite of those riced out desktops you see that look like OSX or windows 10 on first glance but have none of the functionality.

I've just now realized Micosoft's retarded idea of calling directories "folders" has made it to the Linux world and the cancer is already stage IV.
>>
>>57637300
nice
>>
>>57638847
makes sense within the context of a now ubiquitous desktop metaphor.

it's much more intuitive that you can copy, delete or move around a folder than a directory

"container" would maybe more semantically non-triggering but it sounds retarded
>>
>>57638847
btw
>files
how about that
>>
>>57637997
Fuck touch, make another fucking file manager then which is suitable for that. Why does desktop stuff have to give in and change for the sake of touch stuff? How about the other way around, touch cucks give in and just cope with desktop-optimized stuff?

Alternatively, just make line spacing an adjustable feature, so normal desktop users can set it to a minimal value, and sausage finger morons can have it as large as they need to.

(I would use thunar or pcmanfm but those depend on Freedesktop and GNOME cancer)
