Controlling Gnome File Manager

jpbarto · 07-26-2003, 11:31 AM

remember the old gmc... gnome's original file manager?

I want to use gmc... however when I close the file browser I don't want the process to stay resident... I don't want it to put any icons on the desktop. I just want a file manager that doesn't try to create a desktop or stay resident when I'm not using it.

thanks for any help,
jpbarto

I find myself using midnight commander in an x term more than any other file manager.

Midnight Commander home page
Gentoo file manager
ROX-Filer

thanks for the suggestions fancypiper, Rox-Filer looks interesting... I'll have to give it a try.
