File Manager of the Year

Present · 02-07-2006, 09:10 PM

i challenge anyone to use MC for 1 hour, then compare it to any other app "out of the box." MC is so lean with just the right settings from the start for fast file management. it's great.

I like Krusader. I'm used to the two panel interface style. And of course, as a second choice, always Midnight Commander.

Voted for Nautilus. Evidence was a really nice file manager based on E17, sad that it's developement has stopped =(

But the best file manager was, is and will be /bin/bash =P

Konqueror is the best!

I worked hard to get the money to buy myself an iPod.
No doubt others worked hard to get it supported in Konqueror.
They did a great job!

Krusader is a twin-panel file manager.
Handles all the Kio slaves, virtual file systems, ftp, and more, in the manner of the DOS Norton Commander, but on steroids.

I use Kanotix because it installs Krusader out of the box. New version 1.70 is available from the site; will soon be in the Debian repository.

Edit note: See I need to update my profile. Changed from Mandrake over a year ago.

Rox. It's always the first menu addition I make for Fluxbox, and the first icon I add or change to Gnome/KDE.

Although krusader is a serious thing, I'm a konqueror man.

Will probably be a close race again this year by the looks of it.

I choose Konqueror!

DrEwMoNeY · 02-18-2006, 02:24 AM

I use Konqueror, not that I pick it over any others, I just use it because it is there. Not much file management going on here!

Nautilus with tree view for the nice looks
Tux Commander for light twin mode

I'm surprised at the number of people voting for mc.

If I'm in the cli I find it so much more easier to use the simple file manipulation commands: cp, mv, rm and so on rather than fire up mc.

I hardly use my chosen file manager, only when I'm in X and "can't really be bothered" mode, but IMHO its such an excellent bit of kit I couldn't not vote for it.

Interesting difference between us: I can't stand all the typing, even using tab completion, compared to the near "point & click" that mc gives.

It's a matter of taste.
