Some more nominees.
emelfm (in various incarnations) endeavour gentoo rox worker xnc |
I pressume KFM is Konqueror File Manager?
|
I liked Nautilus best but I don't use any now.
|
I tend to use Konqueror because it's there, but recently I am quite impressed with Krusader. Would have voted for that had it been there!
Did not vote. |
Konqueror.
|
rox!!!
|
Midnight Commander. I don't need all that flashy icons and gui stuff that you get with rox or nautilus. Plain & simple with Midnight Commander thats why I use it.
|
What about Krusader?
Dual pane, ftp, archiving, bookmarks, root mode, multi rename, and more. Only problem it's a KDE app :( |

Rox. *nod*
|
A combination of "cd" and "ls"
|
I am a very newbie. mc is hard to me. :(
|
Midnight Commander is very full featured (and quite similar to Norton commander used in other OS's). emelfm2 seems to me to be a more "guified" (is that even a word?) version of mc. It is also quite powerful. Gentoo (the file manager not the distro) is also quite useful.
|
ROX-Filer has been added.

|
Krusader for me, too...

I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but thats me to. If you're like me and often create a ton of similarly named files and/or directory structures at the same time, you want stuff that only a good shell can offer (BASH) . nautilus seemed OK for the windows switch-over, prior to learning BASH. |
Krusader
|
which one is the one that comes in DSL? that gets my vote for now
that or "ls" "cd" |

Incidentally, anyone know where the source code for their version is? They seem to have modified it, but I can't find the code. |
A combination of konqueror and terminal screen, never used a file manager before so I really could vote for anything.

Hi,
It's a hard choice, i mostly use MC, but i like Konqueror (because of the fish command to transfert files between my servers). |
Nautilus
|
i use konqueror mainly because that is what comes with kde... but i do a lot of stuff from the command line too... ideally i'd ike something like Total Commander from Windows, it's still the quickest and easiest file manager to use (IMHO). mc and gnome commander just don't quite live up to total commander.
|
Closest thing to Total Commander in Linux is Krusader (though still has a way to go before actually getting there...)
|
worker ...is the best for me ...light ...fast..fully configurable..i can configure everythng in it.
The only disadv. is that its gui may looks old fashion. |
What about emelfm, emelfm2 and xffm? They could be all included in the poll.
|
I voted for Konqueror and I do use the FISH feature sometime. 99% of my work is via the terminal and cd, ls, grep, find are my mainstay. For me point and click is a pain in the tail, and slow. I can do so much more with mv, cp, ls and I now how to use them so why would I want to use a GUI file manager.
I do you Konqueror sometime but it is primarily when I am showing someone new how to do something. Some people just don't want to learn about computers, they just want to point and click and hope. I always thought people should have to get a drivers license before they start to drive -- same goes for computers. One of the main reasons there are fewer exploits against Linux is most of the users are at least somewhat knowledgeable and don't do stupid things like log on as root all the time. |
i use konqueror as a file manager in kde, mainly because of the graphical fish interface for ssh, but usually use nautilus if i ever use gnome
|
Nautilus -- though its spatial mode may be unpopular, including with me at first, I find myself actually *using* a graphical file manager for the first time in years.
|
I use Konq. It's there, it works, never had a reason to try something else.
|
Gentoo?
|
Konqueror and gentoo have been added.
--jeremy |
|
Worker has been added.
--jeremy |
Konquerer for me! :)
|
I have noticed that several times "jeremy" has noted that one or the other tool has "been added". Does that mean that it has been added to the poll, and if so what about those of us who have already voted (maybe not for our real favorite)?
|
As was stated in the opening of the poll, if you don't see your favorite you should suggest it. If you have already voted you unfortunately cannot vote again. On the bright side, being added to the 2004 awards makes it much more likely to be a default for the 2005 awards.
--jeremy |
I suggest: "terminal" or something of the sort to appease us "cd" and "ls" junkies.
|
No amazing new file manager this year.
