You're best option is to experiment and see which one suits your individual needs:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lig … e_Managers

Although I would start by trying to figure out why emelfm2 isn't working.

I like TuxCommander very much and the git version seems very stable to me.

I like Thunar, it's made for the Xfce environment, but the key point for me is that it's lightweight so I sometimes use it in my Xmonad tiling environment.

it show "(emelfm2:3870): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion 'string != NULL' failed Segmentation fault".
don't know how to solve.

tuxcmd i had try. can't using ctrl or shift to select group file. need to using "insert" key.:(

Thunar is good it you want a one-pane (explorer-like) file-manager. If you want a two pane file manger like emelfm2 I would suggest Worker with xft-support. Gentoo (the file manager) is nice too.

I use thunar but one file manager than most people tend to forget is xfe. Give it a try, it is surprisingly good.

Which version do you use? The latest emelFM2 (0.6.2) can be found here and you can build it with ABS. It works nicely here.

Selection can be done using either Insert, space or right mouse click.
For more information about key bindings see:

I like 4pane .

MadTux · 2009-11-07 15:27:04

I am using PCManFM and, of course, Midnight Commander. PCManFM supports Ctrl/Shift select.

teh · 2009-11-07 15:49:42

PCManFM and Midnight Commander.

Inxsible · 2009-11-09 17:38:01

The best is

ls rm mv mkdir etc etc etc.

There's also vifm, pcmanfm.

don't forget find; find -exec ftw. -regex and -wholename are also good, especially when combined with ! (i.e. delete all files _except_ ...)

I've solved that error by removing '~/.config/emelfm2'. Try to prevent closing the program when on a removable drive. When closing emelfm2 it saves the location where it is atm, so close on any other (root or home or so).

Wintervenom · 2010-05-09 16:48:59

For the GUI, Thunar and PCManFM.
For the CLI, Ranger and MC.

JohannesSM64 · 2010-05-09 17:03:31

Wait, there are other file managers than Ranger?
It's slow at some operations, though.

dhave · 2010-05-09 17:13:12

Since the advent of fast processors and ample RAM, I'm not adverse to using fancy graphical apps. Still, I find I use good old Midnight Commander for nearly all file operations except for a few basic command line things.

cesura · 2010-05-09 17:19:56

GUI: Thunar
CLI: {ls, rm, find, cp, mv}

yngwin · 2010-05-09 18:26:47

PCmanFM is decent. But I find nothing really beats Konqueror.

schen · 2010-05-09 18:53:58

What DE/WM do you use?

orphius1970 · 2010-05-09 20:49:53

Why no one has mentioned XFE as a gui file manager. It will do single pane or dual pane and is
VERy customizable. Light dependencies too.

I see sandman mentioned it
