Re: Which File Manager, Image Viewer?

i suppose it depends on what you need them for. i like thunar the best because it suits my needs. i don't need tabs and i had a bad experience with its peculiar approach to deletion, so i don't want pcmanfm. i don't need a two paned manager either.
i use both feh and ristretto. gqview is good too, but i can't recall it ever being able to view animated .gifs. neither does feh, but ristretto does.

Re: Which File Manager, Image Viewer?

I use gqview for image viewing and as a file manager for images (copy, move, delete). I do not use a particular file manager, but emacs dired mode or simply bash.

Re: Which File Manager, Image Viewer?

I'd recommend PCManFM and Mirage (though I have almost no experience using the latter).

As an added bonus, PCManFM can be used to "automount" USB drives. smile

Re: Which File Manager, Image Viewer?

Total Commander and IrfanView (via Wine)

Yes, I'm dead serious. I'd rather use krusader and gwenview instead, but I'm not half as fast/effective with those.

Re: Which File Manager, Image Viewer?

Yes, Total Commander is the God among file managers. I tried Krusader (when I was on KDEmod3, now I'm on Fluxbox) and realised, that it had nearly 20% of things, that can be done or tweaked by the mighty TC (even closing eyes on a partial utf8 support by TC and me, having a lot of unicode-named music). Now I found a non-dependable file manager, which is actively developed - emelFM2 (svn-commits almost every day). And I'll definitely have to have a TC+Wine by hand, if I occasionally stumble upon some difficult task.

Re: Which File Manager, Image Viewer?

I'd recommend:
- 4pane (AUR) (file manager)
- Qiv (image viewer)
