Heimdall does work to flash a ROM on a samsung device. I've used it before.

As a recent changer from using WinXP, I missed that Windows Explorer would automatically display images in the image viewer in the same order you had them sorted in in Windows Explorer. So if you had for example the files in WinEx sorted by inverse size, then if you clicked on an image to see it in the image viewer, and then clicked the 'next' button within the image viewer, you would see the next smallest image, NOT NOT NOT the next image by alphabetical order of its file name which is what happens in Lunux. As a former art student I had used this a lot in WinXP.

I was really shocked when I found out the Linux did not do this, something I had previously taken for granted and had unthinkingly assumed was universal. It was like buying a new car and then discovering that the steering wheel did not work by design.

Another thing I missed was that the Windows file manager XYplorerFree would remember lists of recently used folders, so that you could choose them from menus rather than having to do lots of tedious and repetitive clicking.

But I have found that the Linux file manager DoubleCommander is capable of both the above, although only the internal file viewer (evoked by F3) does the former. Improvements I would like to suggest and communicate to the authors:

1) Make the F3 internal file viewer the default file viewer please.

2) The F3 internal viewer sometimes displays garbage instead of the image, although the same images display OK in other viewer. Why not use the code from gthumb instead, while keeping the functionality described above.

3) The selectable menu(s) of recent folders idea is great, please develop this feature.

If anyone can pass the above to the authors I would be grateful. I cannot be bothered to register somewhere to do that.

Thanks.

Cheers.
I would prefer dreamweaver

What Linux distribution, desktop environment and file manager are you using?
Xfce's Thunder and KDE's Dolphin are very configurable. Ditto KDE's Konqueror, which at one time was
KDE's default file manager.

You can also use some images viewers as a file manager. One that comes to mind and claims to also be a file manager is XnViewMP. https://www.xnview.com/en/

More importantly, Linux is not ms-windows.

^ the problem is that in Linux filemanagers usually are separate entities from image viewers, and they'd need to be set up separately to behave identically.
Actually the poster described one of the things that makes GNU/Linux what it is - the flexibility - although they wish they had less of it in this particular case.

Possibly some filemanagers have built-in image viewers, in that case I would expect them to work as desired by johncarner.

Winbox - (Linbox?) MikroTik discovery and management tool.
I cannot believe there's no Linux native discovery, only for windows. Which won't run on ARM architecture (wine) without recompiling distro kernel...
Yes you can manage the routers via webservice (sucks & no discovery) or SSH (also sucks & no discovery) but c'mon. The Router OS is running on Linux kernel..

Discovery is a Dude tool that scans the network for online devices and their services.
Sounds to me like something that should be well covered with various native Linux utilities.

Oh yes, that can be used for discovery but then not for management. This can be done with nmap.

I see.
Yes, it happens sometimes that Linux utilities do not come with a GUI, whereas almost everything for Windows does.
