File Manager of the Year
 

A new poll last year, which ended up being a close race.

midnight commander!

krusader. the improvements it's had lately make it 200% better than sliced bread

Voted for that as well. The 1.7 beta versions are really awesome.

I prefer explorer type interfaces over the twin panel so I chose Xfe. Xfe along with blackbox or fluxbox make all the DE I need

I am a Konqueror!

Konqueror. Simply the best, and has been for a long time.

Nautilus is my choice.

Another one for XFE... Although, the one stock with xfce is working really well for me right now too...

xffm from svn is a great file manager. I love it. It is light and has a number of very useful plugins.

Nautilus. Don't laugh!
 

Nautilus has come so far in the last year. Many of the pugins and extra scripts which are now available (easily installable on my distro, too) make doing things like mounting isos or changing audio formats as easy as right-clicking. Although no one else seems to like spatial, it keeps my desktop uncluttered and remembers where I'm at.

Emelfm2 first choice, rox second.

You can't beat KIO Slaves in Konqueror. Audio CDs, IPod support, Digital camera support, all right in your file manager. Simply wonderful!

I vote for nautilus.
I think konqueror is the most powerful, but I was sophisticated.
Most of the time I use nautilus

I like the fact that Konqueror supports sftp. I got very fed up of transferring files between work and home on the command line...

Konqueror.

Easy one this.

Rox-filer just rox with fluxbox.

Xfe, hands down! Fast as lightning, weighs nothing, and it has a lot of options.

Konqueror - comprehensive, snappy, user-friendly, solid and reliable.

Konqueror is what I use, though Krusader is also very nice. KDE apps with IO-slaves are far ahead of the game in this kind of things.

MC. A classic - justly.

I'm still using gnome-commander....

Konqueror, simple clean and fast.

ROX beats them all easily. The fastest, and very configurable.

First of all, Truang An, you need to change this sig because it is inflammatory and this is not a religious forum in which to discuss your evangalism. Secondly, you need to visit http://www.berzinarchives.com/kalach...hala_long.html . Finally, you know that Buddhism doesn't have a central structure the way that The Church in Europe did during the time of the crusades, but it does have political leaders -- kings and emporers who are / were viewed as Buddha reborn. I'll make the case that when a man calling himself Buddha declares war on his neighbor, that's a Buddhist religious war.

Please change your sig. It's inappropriate.

Voted rox-filer... I've been using it for about a year now and have grown quite fond of it.

what about mkdir/rm/mv/cp/etc.? I prefer the command line for file management

that was my first inclination, but since it wasnt there, and i only have mc, i voted for that :p

Sadly, it seems to be not actively developed anymore, but Evidence is my favorite.

Whats KFM ? This does not exist since KDE ?.?

Konqueror, by far. :)

its nautils for me.

Thunar should of been there too. If not, this year it surely will ;)

rox-filer ... really a great tool, it's just allows me to do things quicker then in other file managers.

nautilus for me because it does what its supposed to do and doesn't bother with what it shouldn't be concerned with. for that reason, its fast and reliable.

I like to use Emelfm-elm but I'm no way near a fan of emelfm2.

But I probably use bash with cd,cp,mv, etc more.

tough call between worker and emelfm...but worker is prettier and it can do more stuff...though emelfm has a built in terminal...well i'm going to vote for worker!

Yeah! xffm is great...

cp cd mv ls ln rm...
From those above: twin panel definitely - MC &/or Krusader.

Daniel.

i want to try out konqueror but i could not associate it with the folders. i use gnome. even after changed the open with properties, it stills opens the folders in nautils.

in X: krusader
in console: mc

Voted for krusader because it's always improving.

It's a shame you failed to include either of the two FM's I actually find useful: endeavour2 and evidence

Konqueror, although i havnt used all of the ones in the list, from what i have used Konqueror has been the most efficient and looks the best after some themes. it has so many built in features and 3.5 is reli good, cant fault it yet

Missed the best one
 

You missed the best file manager.

File Runner


I give the poll one of these...

I choose worker too.

I use it as my main file manager from 3 years now, it offers a good number of great features like the quite new avfs file system ( based on extfs from mc ) for archive/ftp support, easy and powerful configuration and the fact that it can be expanded very very much.

Buttons with still great keyboard usage make it almost fit all my needs.

Between the others i quite like also Emelfm series and also the "abandoned" File Runner i have used a lot of time ago.

home sweet home ... Midnight Commander

midnight commander :D :D :D

Konqueror for me.

Konquerer. It's fine for what I need.

Nautilus is much faster than Konqueror
