What Are Your Favourite File Managers?

ls and cd. Enough said.

+1.

I prefer to manage files through the terminal, it's faster and more efficient.

As far as the graphical file managers go, I've used Thunar, Nautilus, PCManFM, and another one for which I can't remember the name.

They all felt quite the same, really.

I like Thunar best, it's simple, stable, and predictable.

I tried Rox but I found it so annoying after awhile.

It would always create symbolic links to other text files that messed everything up, and I didn't know what was what.

Trying to copy (duplicate) files with it is a nightmare.

It had alot going for it, but it shouldn't try so hard to be so different.

I stay with Thunar, I like the simplicity of it.

Copying files in ROX is easy. Just make sure that show a menu of possible actions is the default setting for the left mouse button (Options > Drag and Drop). Then, when you drag a file with the left mouse button held down, it should give you a menu of options (Copy, Move, Link (relative) and Link (absolute).

I originally voted for Thunar, but decided to try out PCManFM.

Bye Thunar .

Nautilus. I've only used Thunar and Dolphin besides Nautilus and they're okay but I love how Nautilus has enlarged preview media icons, making it much easier to recognize PDFs, pics, and movies of which I don't know the filenames.
