GTK2 File Manager?

Hello, I've used GNOME and KDE and love Dolphin and Nautilus. However, I use GTK apps mostly so I don't want to use a QT app and I am using Openbox so Nautilus would start the GNOME shell. What is a good file manager that behaves like either of them?

But if your using openbox now, u should be using emelfm2. no messy images, and theres a configuration file for file type assaociations.

  • What's a good lightweight file manager for fluxbox?

    I just installed arch and it's flippin awesome. I installed fluxbox because I prefer a light window manager with lots of functionality. When I used fluxbox with ubuntu I used thunar. But this time around since I'm using arch I want to use a file manager less dependent on less libraries and other share resources. So whats a good functional and maintained file manager that would be good for fluxbox?

    Since I didn't see it here mentioned, why not try Tux Commander? it only depends on gtk2.
    I tried both thunar and pcmanfm, uninstalled them and stick with tuxcmd. The only little problem you might come into, is to manually add the buttons to mount cds and usbs (pmount helps here), unless you put them on fstab and they automatically appear there.
    Well, just give it a try
    $ pacman -S tuxcmd
    note: if you ever tried total commander on windows, you'll fit in this one like a glove
    I just checked this out and it's pretty nice. The only thing is that it does everything by file extension and not by mime type, which is counter-intuitive for a Linux desktop IMO.
    Altho you can put name+extension as 'name'(so you can see the file 'as one'), yes, you'll have to manually had the programs you want to open each file type/extension.
    Thanks for spotting that out

  • Failed to load image file-manager

    Hello everybody,
    I've recently install ArchLinux (0.6) on my machine. Then do a pacman -Sy and pacman -Su and fresh install xfree86, gnome and gnome-extra but when I run into gnome a window error appears:
    error
    Failed to load image file-manager
    Details: file not found
    I can't see mostly of the icons, like the foot of gnome in applications, the icon of file browser, the show desktop ..
    what can it be?
    well, thanks in advance.
    Ps: xscreensaver should be added as a dependency when pacman -S gnome
    Ps2: sorry my poor english

    Yes, you're right.
    To solve (until a next release) I done:
    pacman -Rcd gtk2
    pacman -A /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gtk2-2.4.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
    And avoid to do pacman -Su ...
    Thanks and bye.

  • Using bash as your file manager?

    Hello,
    My belief is that all file managers suck. There are no exceptions to this. So, for the past few months, I've been sourcing a file with a bunch of tricks I've invented / found through browsing the web to make using just bash as a file manager much more convenient.
    Here's what I currently use:
    # fm v1.9.1 by Kiah Morante
    # A very simple file manager.
    # Depends on pycp/pymv, http://github.com/yannicklm/pycp and feh
    # 'source' this file in a BASH shell
    showHidden=0 # Hidden files not shown
    showDetails=0 # ls is replaced with ls -lh if showDetails is 1
    shopt -s autocd # cd to a dir just by typing its name
    PROMPT_COMMAND='[[ ${__new_wd:=$PWD} != $PWD ]] && list; __new_wd=$PWD' # ls after cding

    Actually, I found this to be one of the best advantages of using bash is that it forces a user to think about file organization and making useful naming schemes for files.
    For example, instead of having 1000+ media files in one directory I subcategorize theme by genre or whatever, and then probably subcategorize them again.
    Then I usually rename the files to something meaningful, like if I have 50 pictures of my kids birthday, just do a for each loop on the directory and rename all the files donovan_birthdayX.jpg where X is an integer incrementation.
    essentially. just don't "have files cluttered all throughout you hard drive and folders all over". and your life will be much happier regardless of how you manage your files.

  • I would like to find a file manager/ image browser like ACDSee 32

    Coming from the Windows environment (it is where I make my living) I have found the Mac environment to be significantly different and pose a considerable learning curve especially when it comes to file management. I like to be able to view and manage files from within the same application but have yet to find something that will allow me the freedom I am used to. Ideally I am looking for something like ACDSee 32 (the last good version) which acts like a typical file manager but has a full sized preview pane as well. This allows you to preview a picture then drag and drop it into a folder of your choosing. The software also allows you to do some minor edits and create folders as well.
    Preview on my MacBook is a still born idea, iPhoto want to take all of my photos and store them in a proprietary environment (not happening) and Xie is a very nice file viewer but does nothing else. Any useful suggestions of a software that will do what I would like it to do would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • How do I... (1) "play" a ppt; (2) "see" my sub-folder​s and their files in "Docs To Go" or "File Manager"?

    This is written for the Playbook blog writer in the hope that he will see it here and post a blog answer. However, a reply from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks.
    [2 questions about PPBB OS 2.0+]
    Hi. Thanks for your very informative blog. I would appreciate it if you would consider writing blog tips to answer the following:
    1) Why can't I organize my files in "Documents" or "File Manager" to "see" them in their sub-folders?
    BBPB allows me to create SUB folders in the Documents folder, through my pc's access to the "Documents" folder in the Playbook. However, then I cannot "see" these created sub-folders on my BBPB after I disconnect my BBPB from my PC.
    All the files I downloaded into these "sub" folders end up all together in the file list in "DOCS TO GO", either in "Documents" or "Music" or "Video" or "Pictures" ---- but these files are NOT separated into the sub-folders I created. The same thing happens in "FILE MANAGER" i.e. all files on the Playbook are in ONE place only.
    Is the Playbook OS ever going to allow one to view sub-folders and what is in them, other than using the pc to do it? For example, it would be desirable to put all my ppt files into one folder.
    2) How do I "play" a PPT file in the BBPB?
    The BBPB "User Guide" says that I can "view, edit, or play" Powerpoint Presentations. However, although it describes how to "view" or "edit" individual slides, it does not say how to "play" ("run") a slideshow. How do you "play" a self-running slideshow?
    For example, in Windows, you can click "play.bat" (in a saved "presentation cd" folder on a cd or USB stick) to run the ppt with sound and pictures saved in that folder (you don't need the Powerpoint program itself for this, since you are using the "pptview.exe" file in the same folder to "play" it). However, after downloading all the files in this "presentation cd" folder to the Playbook, I could only see one of them, the ppt file itself ---- and there is no icon in the Playbook to "play" the slideshow, it seems. Help?!
     Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First, I use an app called "File Browser" to view those subfolders.
    As for running a powerpoint, I can open a ppt file and it runs in Documents to go. Next to the "Close" button there are three icons. The third one runs the ppt file as a slideshow.

  • Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

    I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander.  I also have MovieSRTPlayer.  Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB.  The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles.  It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
    I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder.  I am also transferring a companion file to that folder.  The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
    THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder.  The Video app itself does show and play those video files. 
    I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
    As stated the dam! files play in the video app.  But they do not appear in the various filer apps.  And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video.  In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
    Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved).  That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them.  I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying.  But now I'm running into this brick wall again.  I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder.  They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app.  They are most certainly on my pb.
    Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times. 
    Ideas?

    I have what I call 3 file manager apps.  File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version). 
    They all show or don't show the same thing.  So files are missing.  And SIZE is not the sole determining factor.  When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files.  So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder.  But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers.  The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up.  The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up.  A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up.  But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up.  Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
    My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago!  Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles).  Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up.  Peculiar - yup!
    Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it.  Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB.  So, the filemanagers  are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct.  But your app does not appear to show it.

  • How delete unwanted system sync in file manager?

    Hello!  As a result of testing Z10 10.1.0.2014, Blackberry Link wifi sync of files with my Windows PC, I have extra repositories listed in File Manager on the Z10.  The list shows "Device", "Media Card", "Box", and also "LT2", "LT2-1 (offline)" and "LT2-2".  The string LT2 represents the PC's hostname. 
    I would like to delete the "LT2" and "LT2-1" entries from File Manager's list, as the Link feature does not work for them (early tests).  Also I would then like to rename "LT2-2" (which does work) to just "LT2".
    How can I do that?  If not presently possible, please consider this a feature request.
    I think this is a File Manager feature request, not a Blackberry Link request.

  • Changing the default file manager in XFCE

    How would I go about using Nautilus as the default file manager in XFCE instead of Thunar? I know it can be started up with 'nautilus --no-desktop', but how do I make this the default when opening folders from the desktop, menus, etc..?
    The main reason I want to do this is because Thunar doesn't seem to remember a folders last setting. For example, there are folders which I would like to permanently view as a list, sorted by date; but there are plenty of other folders where this is not suitable. Nautilus remembers settings for each folder, Thunar doesn't, and it gets annoying changing the view mode each time. Also network browsing is easier in Nautilus, and I also like the way it tells you how fast file transfers are going.
    Thanks very much,

    Well, it might be considered a dirty hack but it has worked for me in gnome before so it should also work in xfce.  Just edit the thunar.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and replace the Exec=thunar to Exec=nautilus --no-desktop and save the file.  Then any time thunar is launched, nautilus will be launched instead.
    Otherwise, you can edit the menu with the menu editor and change the File manager command and do the same in the panel icon properties.  Both methods will work.

  • I forgot my hidden file manager password,How can i get back my files

    I forgot Hidden file manager password,how can i get back my my data

    If you are able to Get Info on the folder of interest go the the very bottom section Sharing and Permissions.
    You can gain access to this area by clicking on the lock in the lower right corner of the Get Info window.
    Once you have input the admin password for the computer you should be able to edit the permissions on that file/directory. 

  • Can't see email messages in file manager

    I've been testing email on my new phone (6682) and now I'd like to delete all the messages in my inbox. nothing shows up in the messages folder in file manager on my PC even though I have about 30 emails on the phone. I can view all other data (images, contacts, etc.)
    Additionally, I can't seem to delete the emails directly from my phone. It keeps saying it will keep the headers in memory....and I don't want to keep them. There must be a way. Nokia phone support (believe it or not)could not help me after 45 minutes on the phone. Their solution was to completely reset the phone *#7370#. Please advise if you can.
    -Phone Nokia 6682
    -PC Suite 6.8
    -Windows XP
    Thanks

    In all serie-60 phones when you choose to delete the e-mail (and select "Phone") it will delete the content of the e-mail and keep the header of the e-mail until you connect to the e-mail server again. After that it will be erased from the phone.
    It is not a phone "feature", it is how e-mails usually works when the are downloaded from a server. The mail is not deleted until you connect to the server next time, because the server need to know if it is going to keep a copy of the mail or not. It is working the same way with an exchange server except that it is going so fast so you can´t "see it"....
    The views I present are my OWN and not of any organisation I may belong too.

  • Nokia lumia file manager

  • How to synchronize File Manager Server when I install Agile on distributed?

    The Environment I install is : two Agile Server , two File manager Server ,one Web Proxy Server, one DB Server .
    The Agile version I install is Agile 9.3.1 for Linux ,the Middleware is weblogic 10.3.2 .
    Now I finish install two Agile Server ,and successful make two server compose a cluster.
    Now I will install two File manager Server ,I want to ask what's the method let me synchronize two file manager Server ?
    Does the File manager has this mechanism to let the file keep synchronize on two file manager server?
    I find a PDF name "Agile PLM Capacity Planning Guid" V 9.3.1 ,it says there are two software can synchronize file manager server , is XXCOPY and RoboCopy, but the two softwares only support Windows . Is there a software support synchronize file manager server on Linux ?

    Hi I believe you have the wrong forum.
    This forum is for the Agile PLM for Process product suite, not for the Agile A9 suite. For Agile A9 or Primavera questions, you can use Oracle Support, Support Communities, Yahoo Groups for Agile API or WRAU.
    This forum is for Agile PLM for Process, which is part of the same Agile family but a different product.
    Thanks.
