Decent file manager for Linux?

Name: Anonymous 2005-08-21 12:08

I'm looking for a decent orthodox file manager for Linux, i.e. something like Norton Commander.

Before you mention Midnight Commander, refer to the "decent" part. MC doesn't have a real shell; you can't see the results of what you run; you have to hit Ctrl+O, and it has a lot of problems with that too. Besides, it has several bugs related to where you actually are when you cd/pushd from the shell and the commander at the same time, it bites.

Furthermore, its clipboard doesn't share X's, although I know the clipboard system is seriously fucked up in anything any Unix OS ever had, and I can't expect it to work like Win32's.

So, is there anything like Windows' FAR Manager, Norton Commander, etc. (Windows has lots of them) for Linux? (They'll say Linux is the geek OS and all that, but I've been missing good console file managers and other tools Windows has...)

If not, can you recommend of other good file managers? By good I mean:

1. Console integration. It must run a console and allow me to type stuff and see a few lines of results at least.
2. Keyboard control. Mice is for people who want to work slow.
3. Geeky. The more loaded with tools like regex file and contents search, diff, etc. the better.

Yeah, but I want something to run on top of it, so I can move faster across huge directory trees, quick search files and see their size/date/linkcount/whatever, copy, move, link, delete, change sort order, quick view file, etc. with simple keys, copy their full name to the command prompt, etc., while having the command prompt ready all the time without having to switch to it.

I suggest you try FAR for Windows; once you get used to it (half an hour) you'll be enlightened. Managing sauce, porn collections and everything was never faster, as you combine a visual tool (console only=cumbersome for simple things), fast key shortcuts (mice=gay/slow), and a command console for everything else (GUI=not nice for this). What I can do in 5 minutes of constant typing in FAR, others would take 15 minutes in a command console alone, and 50 minutes in Windows Explorer, and over an hour in graphic file managers that cannot be used with a keyboard.

I don't have Windows.

Well, FAR Manager is quite a useful tool; I'm sure most Linux users would love to have something like that. It would be very useful to handle, browse, or modify, for example, these large sauce packages, or to set the mess Linux standard directories are right.
