Find me a better File Manager

>>58700258
nemo > *

actually configurable, has thumbnails that can be sized, bookmarking sidebar, devices sidebar, tabs, dual-view/side-by-side view.

it's by far the greatest FM on Linux. only Finder is better.

Is dolphin a fork of nemo or what?

what? why would you think that? nemo is a fork of nautilus, dolphin is the kde fm

>>58700373

They look identical.

maybe as default but dolphin is better and more robust.

Dolphin

>>58700417

Is that in order of memory hogging?

>>58700435

Can you explain why dolphin sometimes gets stuck using over 100% cpu time (quad core cpu, so it's using more than one core) and only kill -9 makes it go away?

>>58700466
Doesn't happen to me. What distro are you on?

>>58700275
so Finder is the best FM ever?

>>58700488

Mint KDE 17.3

>>58700400
Also interested because I don't wanna keep a heavy as fuck FM to do that when I always end up using bash to navigate

Shit dude, your KDE is probably outdated as fuck.
With KDE you really want a rolling distribution. I'd recommend KDE Neon or Arch.

>>58700536
Plasma 5 is garbage.

>>58700536

I've gotten this set up just how I want, reinstalling would mean doing another 2-3 hours just customizing the desktop. Fuck that, I'll just make a script I can fire whenever the dolphin starts acting uppity.

Nemo.

>>58700567
It's a tidied up Plasma 4 with a different theme.

>>58700594
Yeah, just slower and buggier.

>>58700500
yes. i've tried them all. unfortunately I don't own a mac so can't use it. but it is the best. Nemo has copied a lot of functionality, however, and isn't that bad. But it does have some bugs. Preview is also much nicer on Finder. most other things are much nicer as well.

GNOME one is the fucking worst. Thunar (xfce) is pretty shit too.

>>58700536
>Implying a sane user would ever use KDE. It's a sluggish piece of shit. MATE is the only answer. MATE is like 42. The is no and there never will be a better desktop.

>>58700258
i switched from pcmanfm to spacefm a few years ago

>>58700534

Can MC copy/move be configured to always recurse subdirs and more importantly, verify/crc32 the results to make sure the files were actually successfully copied?

>>58700590
A good file manager always shows the exact and complete path to the folder the user is in.

Thunar.

It boasts the option and it can do that.

You were saying?

>>58700638
it always recurses subdirs when copying, and you can use compare dirs (C-x d) to verify. not sure which algorithm it uses though.

>>58700701
Your fonts look like ass my man.

>>58700725

Recommend me some better fonts, then, Einstein. Please.

>>58700636
I have just switched. Thank you for that. I didn't even know about spacefm but I already love it.
Wincucks be jelly because of their touch UI.

>>58700701
oh god that icon theme! QUICK TELL ME WHAT ICON THEME

I'm using thunar but it's a bit shit, just as xfce is just a bit shit in general. I tried using nemo but there were graphical glitches on i3. I'm not downloading 150mb of KDE dependencies for dolphin.

I'll try nemo again but what else is there?

serious question: do you think RMS consumes child pornography? I mean, he's obviously a virgin so that would fit. I can really imagine him going off to 2 year old boys,

>>58700916

Gui is always loaded anyway. Having to remember paths to shit is terrible.

>>58700934

RMS is a robot. Loli android maids > everything else.

>>58700934
I'd just like to interject for a moment, I'm a single atheist white man, 55, reputedly intelligent, with unusual interests in politics, science, music and dance.

I'd like to meet a woman with varied interests, curious about the world, comfortable expressing her likes and dislikes (I hate struggling to guess), delighting in her ability to fascinate a man and in being loved tenderly, who values joy, truth, beauty and justice more than "success"--so we can share bouts of intense, passionately kind awareness of each other, alternating with tolerant warmth while we're absorbed in other aspects of life.

My 25-year-old child, the Free Software Movement, occupies most of my life, leaving no room for more children, but I still have room to love a sweetheart if she doesn't need to spend time with me every day. I spend a lot of my time traveling to give speeches, often to Europe, Asia and Latin America; it would be nice if you were free to travel with me some of the time.

If you are interested, write to rms at gnu dot org and we'll see where it leads.

What do you guys base the greatness of a file manager on? Personally I don't really care. I've been using Thunar, which apparently is shit, which I wouldn't have noticed myself. Why should I look into switching and what to?

>>58700435
This
Dolphin is superior.

>>58700536
I'd recommend openSUSE over Neon. The Leap version of Plasma stays fairly up-to-date, and even Tumbleweed is more stable than Neon.

>>58700633
KDE's only sluggish if you're too retarded to turn off visual effects. Or are trying to run it on a toaster.

>>58700934
>he's obviously a virgin so that would fit
Really? Is there a correlation between being a virgin and consuming child pornography. I've never heard of it, care to elaborate? Just sounds odd to me.

Console:
1:MC
2:ranger -it's ok but i dont always like to have the python dependancies

gui:
1.SpaceFM (minimal and customizable with scripts and terminal commands)
2. refer to above.
3.thunar if you like bloat.

i honestly like pcmanfm. very little dependencies. gvfs is completely optional for example.

PCManFM crashes a lot for me. the back button on the mouse is also not bound by default, which is annoying.

Nautilus and Nemo are both missing features I want.

I've had the best experience with Dolphin

xyplorer is the best file manager i've ever seen, on any OS. massive feature set but still very easy and straightforward to use, very customizable.

only complaint is the themeing support is a bit weak.

>>58700390

Do you imagine this a lot?

>>58703093
Which file manager is that? Nemo?

>>58703234
It's Files

>>58703247
Files? What's next, a music player called "Music"?

>>58701765
>is there even a competition?
unfortunately, no. but I wish some linux FE would copy it as closely as possible. it's damn near perfect.

>>58703247
nvm, found out it was on elementary. ew.

>>58703255
Already exists

>>58703093
it's not the best. it's fucking bare-bones. and it might look like Finder, it has 1/100th of its features. Nemo is way closer to Finder.

>>58701513
can't adjust icon size? can't even switch between icon/list/compact views?

nigga, that's a shit FM.

>>58700258
Dolphin.
Panes, tabs and per dir configuration.
And best of all: built in terminal.
Now you don't have to switch between a terminal and a file manager as you use the best of both worlds.
And if you prefer to make right click menu's, that is easy too.

>>58703278
