Having played with Nautilus, Konqueror, and scoured through a few reviews with webshots of Dolphin, I don't think any of them are really "file managers," merely file browsers. There's a significant distinction between something that lets you look at content on the drive (browsers), and something that gives you good tools for controlled & semi-automated manipulation of drive content (managers). e.g. You want to compare your hard drive with your backup, your two-pane file manager should have a feature that takes two directories, checks their both the same, and makes it easy for you to work on the differences. e.g. You move a bunch of files from one spot to another, and suddenly the whole thing (or partially) aborts because there's duplicates. There's no easy way to handle what to do with the duplicates (compare that they're really identical duplicates, replace, skip, rename, rename with YOUR choice of pattern, etc.), without aborting. e.g. Batch renaming stupid filenames in a lister (e.g. lower-case everything with good handling of what to do when the renaming is about to rename one file to the same name as another file, likewise for removing or replacing spaces, or converting mixes of dashes and underlines to just one form of punctuation, etc.). All of that sort of thing, and more, without having to do mental gymnastics to work out regex expressions in your head. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
