Why don't you use a file manager?
>>53670155
But I do anon....
%windir%\explorer.exe
>>53670155
stupid frogposter
>>53670155
Speed Commander FTW
>>53671512
Have a (You)
>>53670155
Best manager is Thunar
>>53671574
Enjoy your tabs.
>>53671679
thank you
I do, it's called bash. Other shells also very much acceptable.
>>53671574
I prefer Nautilus.
>>53672104
does ctrl+s let you select files based on regex?
I use ranger.
>>53672264
2 Qs
1 - does it support drag and drop? Nice little convenience factor
2 - how do you copy/cut
but midnight commander is a file manager
windows 10 bitches
>>53672349
no afaik. I don't know how you would expect drag and drop to work in a tui application.
you can copy/cut a file with yy/dd and paste it with pp. You can of course copy/cut multiple files by having multiple selected beforehand. There are also several more options, for example pl will paste a symlink instead, pic related for more pasting options (this shows when you hit the first p to show you options for second part of command). There are also other options for copying and cutting
What operation sysadmin are you using op? Can you upload it to drop box? I see a lot of unique ones posted, where can i make my own custom one?
>>53672604
when i drag and drop it gives some thing on the bottom. Is this a list of files it is going to work with on the next operation?
>>53672666
no. it set a mark (the ' mark) to the location you dragged and dropped into it. if you hit '' (that a ' followed by a ') it should take you there
>>53672682
very strange, considering the location it took me to has nothing to do with what i dropped in. (also, i changed directory with only one ')
Strange controls from what im used to, probable won't switch since i use image previews a lot.
finder in column view is gr8 or ranger
>>53672706
you mean these things? I got font file previews working too and it was a bit of a pain but very worth it
I prefer Dolhin. Currently using Nemo
>>53672727
i am reading that it only works with certain terminals. I am still using gnome-terminal as i have never seen a reason to change but it is not working. I believe i set everything up right for it too.
what terminal are you using?
>>53672744
rxvt-unicode
>>53672743
Dolphin*
>>53672753
damn ugly terminal by default settings on ubuntu. image preview works though. Thanks!

dtfile works for me. GUI's have their place but really file management in Unix is easier on the cli.
>>53671534
>using nonfree software
>>53670155
i use the one i made for myself.
>>53672225
>tfw I didn't know about this after using xfce for the last ~7 years
T-t-thanks?
>>53671512
>>53671545
I found that funny desu
cuz i know where all my files are
>>53675134
Same and for me it's been closer to 10 years. Fuck
>>53671574
nemo >
>>53672225
nemo does
nemo has everything good about nautilus + thunar.. this is it's purpose for existing.
Dolphin is the one true file manager
Enjoy your missing features
>>53675473
where's the embedded terminal feature?
>>53675473
>only file picker that can be hacked to have thumbnails
I am jelly..
>>53675488
right here

why are there giant images for things?
is there a command line?
how do i use this over ssh?
>>53675531
Grandpa you're lost, this is the 21st century thread, go back to your nursing home
>>53675531
>why are there giant images for things?
Dolphin default. It's changeable with a nice slider.
>is there a command line?
It's Linux...
>how do i use this over ssh?
"Don't." But seriously you can use graphical applications remotely withssh -Y [email protected]as long as you have a local X server running. Xming is the best one for Windows, and *nix and OS X have X preinstalled.
>>53675546
i'm a developer and evaluating based on whether i can integrate it into my workflow, whether it solves any additional problems i have, and whether i can extend and configure it. i'm not looking for something i can flip through on my phone using my thumbs or face.
>>53675571
>-Y
teach me
>>53675617
That's literally all you have to do
>>53675803
I get an error.
>>53675838
check "ForwardX11Trusted" in your ssh config.
>>53670155
genuine question : what do you use it for?
>>53675502
When you cd, does it follow you?
>>53675580
I though I was the only one who uses my nose sometimes.
>>53675922
Yes
>>53675981
What's that ctrl+p like feature?
Having one graphic pane and launching gui shit into it xdg style is quite clever, good job.
What I do in general is use Firefox for that shit as each invocation get slurped by the running process which makes my workspace quite minimal : a terminal emulator with tmux managing all my shit and Firefox on second monitor for documentation and opening pdfs
pcmanfm master race reporting in.
>>53676064
Nice, that sounds pretty comfy actually. how does it behave with terminal multiplexers though?
>>53676101
Moй ниггep
Pcmanfm is where it's at
>>53670155
Dolphin ftw
>>53676086
>What's that ctrl+p like feature?
the built-in menu for the cmdline. i'm going to make a setting to have it enabled/disabled at some point.
>>53676185
Oh you're writing that? Have a repo somewhere or care to share?
>>53676231
https://github.com/jollywho/nav
it's not officially released yet. still a lot of problems (the parser needs remade).
Does anyone in this thread but me use xfe?
Does anyone know how to hack a collarspace and/or a fetlife account? I'm trying to find out more about a couple that I am meeting. It is not my intention to do anything malicious, I just want to get their real names and any other info for my own safety. Thanks in advance!
>>53671954
But bash is a shell and lacks any file management features, my retarded friend. All UNIX file management programs like "ls", "cp", etc are external executables, not included into bash.
>>53670155
b-b-but i do
>>53671574
That's not SpaceFM.
