securitybreach 11,448 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Very nice blog post Eric, I will have to check out Xexplorer Link to post Share on other sites
amenditman 923 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Nice, I wonder if I can get PartedMagic dev to drop SpaceFM and use that. Link to post Share on other sites
ichase 506 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. Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 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. Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,448 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.) Link to post Share on other sites

amenditman 923 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 Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 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. Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 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 Link to post Share on other sites
ichase 506 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LilBambi Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 And it's great to be able to do things how we like to do them! Link to post Share on other sites
mlangdn 73 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. Link to post Share on other sites
