I've been using Midnight Commander for a while, but decided to switch to a utility with an easier-on-the-eyes GUI.

I tried gnome-commander but it's very slow when copying large files to USB hd's (about 4 times slower than Nautilus).

I know Krusader is very good, but don't want to install the whole KDE packages in order to run it.

Any suggestions?

Emelfm2 is good.

You should try Meld. It is in the repos and works like a charm...

Being an old Amiga user, I was stoked when I found Worker (a DOpus clone).

It is very customisable via a configuration GUI, comes with a good config to start with. Has lots of depth re, inbuilt skills & next to no dependencies.

bsc is pretty fast.

I tried Emelfm2, bsc and Worker.

They're all good utilities. I decided to keep Worker cause it behaved flawlessly and it's very fast and customizable (and once customized to my personal taste it's easy to move the settings to the other machines I have to deal with every day).

Thank yall for your suggestions.

From memory Worker is >8 years old & has been built & maintained by the same guy all that time.
