amenditman Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Nice, I wonder if I can get PartedMagic dev to drop SpaceFM and use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichase Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Great tip Eric, been checking out xfe and must say I really like it. Lots of goodies come with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm a customization nut. I like to personalize all my apps. Xfe is very customizable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It is a nice file manager but a bit ugly IMHO. Too bad, it does not use gtk themes very well. I think I will stick with MidnightCommaner and PcManFM. That and the normal cli file-managing (rm, mv, cp, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, it's a little Windows 98-ish retro, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amenditman Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 That and the normal cli file-managing (rm, mv, cp, etc.) Sometimes that is the most efficient way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Strangely enough, I don't do any file manipulation in a GUI file manager. I usually just use one to view what's there, then I open a terminal and get down to business. I've always done it that way. Weird, huh? I copy/paste, rename, edit, update (touch), delete, manipulate ownership and permissions, etc. from the command line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually use the GUI for copy, paste, rename, delete unless I am already at the command line. For ownership and permissions I always use the command line.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 We all have our own ways of doing things. This is why I took such a liking to GNU/Linux from the very start... there are SO MANY different ways to do things. In that other commercial operating system, you could be brain dead and still use it. It didn't have many options or require much thought. Not that I'm criticizing, you understand. That other OS serves its purpose and keeps the masses lazy and happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichase Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I use the CLI for 2 reasons. 1. if you don't (at least for me) I start forgeting command line functions. So it keeps me sharp. 2. It just seems more proficient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlangdn Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I've been using xfe for a couple of years. It has nearly instant access to the file system. Navigate to /usr/bin in Dolphin, then hurry up and wait for it to load. No waiting in xfe, it just appears right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
