File Manager of the Year

hiero2 · 02-01-2013, 09:02 AM

Nautilus in Gnome 2 was, IS, the best file manager in all of computerdom. Imho, Nautilus and x2 from Windows were tied in first place. Two panes, extra tabs for each, a tree view, lots of flexibility in both.

So, since Nautilus has had its throat cut for for Gnome3, Caja has taken over that top spot.

Midnight Commander and PCManFM.

Wow... That's a feature I use extensively. What a terrible decision. I always thought Nautilus was good the times that I used it, but talk about a regression in design. I even use dual pane on my android phone (GhostCommander).

>In my opinion, it is pcmanfm. It really works, has not too much packages, and can even smbfs.

As a lot of other users I am disappointed in the direction that Nautilus is going. The double pane option was something I used often. If Dolphin is the file manager of the year, maybee the Nautilus developers need to have a look at why Dolphin got almost 60% more votes than Nautilus and re-think their strategy going forward.

Dolphin, thunar and nautilus? Im sorry i must have misread the poll. I thot we were voting for best file manager not slowest.
