Supports opening your files in applications of your choosing! Simply press the RETURN key.

There's also Space Commander or whatever it's called.

What's wrong with Windows Explorer?
>>
>>59136518
Can it toggle hidden file visibility? Is the merge-means-replace-everything fixed?
>>
>>59137457
you've obviously never used Finder. Nautilus is just a shitty copy of Finder by some of the members of Mac team.

anyway, post less, retard.
>>
>>59136467
my vote goes to pcmanfm
>>
>>59136467
Dolphin
>>
I like Thunar except for the shitty bug where it randomly crashes when renaming files. I guess therefore nautilus.
>>
>>59136467
Dolphin. Literally nothing on Earth can even complete.

What is the best KDE distro?

Windows Explorer
>>
>>59138006
There's no such thing.
Also arch.

Dolphin

linux don't have it so its shit
>>

>>59138055
These.

>>59138006
You can install KDE on any distro.
>>
>>59137457
Admittedly, Windows explorer in Win7 is actually pretty fucking good as a File Manager. It loads files containing thousands of items way faster than any other FM I've seen linux do, and is actually really good about presenting useful, easily available options (making new folders, sharing, etc) and doesn't get in the way too much
that said, I think on Linux Nemo or Dolphin are far and away the best that i've used.
>>
>>59138292
I should also add to this.
I cannot understand why people like Finder
I used it for years on older versions of OSX, and it was a hot pile of garbage then.
Of course, this is now, and I still think (while it fixed a lot of issues I had with it in the past) it's still pretty shitty and obtrusive, disregarding even the fucking retarded facebook integration

There are some things wrong with Finder, but it's far from unusable.

There is no such thing.

Dolphin! Has a lot of features

Nemo

>>59137486
It can't even open another folder in a different tab or open a folder in terminal (or in this case cmd) like Linux FM's can for the most part. Not to mention how slow it is on average

I used an add-on to bring tabs to explorer. I also used one to colour-code folders and stuff could be sorted according to colour then. That was a neat little add-on that's still lacking in linux land.
>>
>>59138611

You are not. It's been a bug that's been known about for more than a year. Supposedly it's fixed in 1.6.11, but I haven't gone back to it to check.

Ok, apparently Dolphin can do the colour-coding with an add-on.

total commander (w/ autohotkey) or far manager (internal macros) on windows if there are tons of files to deal with. terminal on linux/osx to simplify common operations with shell scripts. sometimes im lazy and just use filezilla (ftp) instead of ssh to connect to local linux box to manage media. i find windows explorer and finder acceptable for light use otherwise.
>>
Windows Explorer
>>
pcmanfm
>>
>>59136467
i like nautilus

>>59140888

You know there's midnight commander on linux, which is basically the same as total commander and you can open a shell in mc y pressing Ctrl-O

Me too. A very aggravating bug in an otherwise very capable file manager

Any file manager that let me configure and use as a bookmark network places? Dolphin can do that, but looks like shit in XFCE and thunar can't keep the bookmark.
>>
when i check the properties of an hdd with thunar it takes ages to show the left space and it doesn't even display the type of file system

Is there a program that copy and automatically check hashes in linux?
>>
>>59137457
>Nautilus at the top

>>
Nemo when it doesn't crash every 5 seconds
>>
>>59136467
I use Explorer mostly. It Just Works
>>
Thunar keeps crashing all the time when I rename files

Is there a way to fix this?
>>
>>59145938
Sure. Just look at the source code and find the bug.
>>
Dolphin
>>
>>59145938
Update, the latest version fixed it for me.
>>
>>59138926
>open a folder in terminal (or in this case cmd)
shift-right click
