Which file browser is best?


Hi. I've been using Nautilus under Gnome for a while now. While it's pretty good, I want more.

One of the things that I miss about Windows Explorer is the few little preview thumbnails of the first few files in the folder when you scrolled past the parent, but nautilus doesn't do that. Can anyone tell me about a file browser that does? I'm willing to switch to KDE if I need to.

Or if you like, make a pitch for your favorite file browser.

Thanks.

My favourite is Konqueror as well. I also like Krusader which is a 2 pane file manager. You could just run Konqueror in GNOME instead of switching to KDE.
