Description Gerd B 2013-06-12 23:56:18 UTC
hi 

i thank you guys for a graphical GNOME based filemanager,

but isn't Linux meant to be usable and productive ?

I use LinuxMint64 in xfce edition as desktop and debian systems in vms

Theres an uglier version of nautilus, thunar, it is not that good looking like nautilus, but not reduced in functionality (open terminal from path, thumbnailviews, drag&drop good working )

I used dolphin too and it the fasted complexest program there is for media-files. It is the program that righteous the big Qt platform on your system

I really dont need a filemanager that has 100px space wasted between two 64px thumbnail pictures.

That is sooooooo not efficient monitor-space management and completly negates the productive usecase.

The problem is really that you calc too few images per row and too thick margin/padding/whatever values, there is soo much wasted space. i can see dead space )

also there is no toggle button for preview-mode ( switch from symbol to thumbnail preview-mode )

thx in advance
