What is your favorite linux file manager ?

[djoole]

Hey, i'm asking that cause i'm not quite happy with Nautilus, the only filemanager packaged with MDK10.

Layout is ok, but i miss some options like "display hidden files", "switch to SU privileges to edit files other than yours", "change files properties recursively" and stuff.

If you know a good prog that can handle this thing, i'm aware

[boomn]

Nautilus does have a "show hidden files option" in the pref box. Not sure about the other options

You could also try out the Gentoo file manager (not related to Gentoo Linux). Its not as good looking or slick, but is much more powerfull. Im not sure about some of those specific things youre asking about because there's so many options to go through!

Also nice is Rox file manager. Its lite, powerful, and looks sweet

I don't have a large breadth of Linux experience, but Konquorer does the display hidden files well.

It is lacking the "edit/open this as user xxx" feature you are searching for. I think that would be useful! :yes:

One little file manager I really like is Filerunner.

Powerful and fast.

Here's a screeny:

I posted a little review here.

The Rox filer is only for Windows X right?

Laziness has caused me to use Nautilus or Konqueror on occasion, but I usually use a terminal. What I would like to see it a Windows Explorer look-alike or something.

[OsiXzoR]

MC is nice too :yes:

i love the look and feel of Nautilus, when ever i go in windows i wish i could use nautilus hehe

Hey sttroopers, I like it.. its pretty good (Y)

I use Konqueror since I spend most of my time in KDE.

[LordHatrus]

Hmm. I actually DON'T HAVE a file manager. (well, at least one with a GUI)

It may seem scary to you...

but I just never felt the need for one.

I can kind of "see" all the directories mapped out in my head now. :)

[wickedlester]

I would have to say rox-filer is my favorite.

also, are you sure nautilus is the "only" file manager included with mdk10?

[ChrisArr]

It's not. Konqueror is too and there maly be others that are not installed by default.

[SintaX]

I use konqueror alot too, but I don't neccessarily use KDE, Konqueror is just good cuz it's a multi-function web browser that has file manager capabilities kinda like explorer in windows :-P

[JadeWolf324]

konqueror has never failed me.

[mr_daemon]

Linux magazine had an article on this once... "When the penguin is acting like a duck" or something like that ^_^;

I kinda liked x-file.

the one i coded

the best file manager for me is bash. end of story. there is so much more you can do with written commands in the console or a terminal that are almost impossible to emulate with a gui file-manager. and since bash is an actual programming language its power is even greater. I don't think that a gui file-manager will ever surpass the usefulness of the console. Of course it takes much more time to learn bash then for instance nautilus, but a person that knows a lot about bash is much faster and efficient at file management than one who is forced to use a gui due to lack of training.

[Slayer]

Bash.

[djoole]

Ok, i guess i'll let nautilus and i'll try to be more efficient with bash (just learnt how to do a script! ;) )
