post a picture of your file manager showing how you've set it up.

[ice60]

i'd love to see how people have their File Managers setup, it's not something you see much, i'd like to see if i can get some ideas.

here's my FM, it's thunar, i've added the Custom Actions plugin to add right-click options.

the compiz theme is CubicDots, but i think i hacked the rest of the theme.

i picked Murrina-Black in gtk-chtheme for the GTK bit, i might have made some changes with Murrina-Black, i don't know.

the controls are RoyaltyGrey (i changed something with it, i can't remember)

I'm certain that your recent feline wallpaper would share that sentiment. ;)

Mostly Bash for file maintenance. I find that some tasks are easier with a dual-paned file manager, though, and I like Krusader.

I was wondering, which dock is that?

Other tasks, like bath renaming of files, are *much* more easily done with bash. The rename command is a great one.

AWN with the awn-curves add-on. I think awn-curves has to be compiled from CVS or SVN or something. There are directions somewhere on the forum.

Thanks for the info, sure looks a lot better than the default look.

What a coincidence! That's almost exactly like mine ;)

it would be cool to start a thread about using a terminal for your FM, with all the things you can add to improve functionality e.g. -


# interactive
alias cp='cp -vi'
alias mv='mv -vi'
alias rm='mv --target-directory=$HOME/.Trash/'

# Directory navigation aliases
alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..'
alias ....='cd ../../..'
alias .....='cd ../../../..'

# chmod and permissions commands
alias mx='chmod a+x'
alias 000='chmod 000'
alias 644='chmod 644'
alias 755='chmod 755'
alias perm='stat --printf "%a %n \n "' # requires a file name e.g. perm file

i like this unpacking alias best. to decompress any archive - rar, zip, tar.bz2 etc, i just run -

unpack archive_name
i got it from here -

Oh, I agree. Actually, the main reason I've used Krusader recently is that I've been migrating my music collection to .flac: replacing old MP3/Vorbis files with the new ones. Given the sorry state that the collection's tree is in (e.g., multiple similar folder names, long names with spaces, etc.), I've found it easier to drag and drop. Apart from that, mv, cp and rm -- throw in tab completion and wildcards -- is perfect.

Looks really nice. More polished than the normal theme I use. Thank you.

I'm installing it now. :)

I just use

set -o vi
alias ls='ls --color'
alias l='ls -hAl --color'
alias sup='sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade -y
The first line lets me use vi commands for my bash input method, so I can hit Esc while in bash and go 3bcw or whatever I need to do to change a command I'm typing (or that I arrowed up to). Adding
alias lart='ls -lArt' might be a good one too. That lists all files (except . and ..) sorted in reverse time order with a long listing (so you can see the time), which means that when the terminal scrolls to the bottom automatically (for your next command to go in), the most recently edited files are there at the bottom, which could be useful when you're trying to figure out what changed right before it broke.

i have almost that exact alias, (maybe i'll change it to a big A) -

lt is aliased to `ls -latr'
it's one of the commands i use to find flash movies, or youtube clips, in my browser cache. i use this one too -

lss is aliased to `ls -shAxSr'
i'm sure there's a better way to do it lol, but it shows the files sizes with the biggest last.

Nothing special, except I patched it to have the normal three view buttons. The gradients I need to tweak, I'm still messing a bit with QtCurve that I installed last night. The tooltip feature should be in every filemanager.
