I have mc installed here as well. I have used it a few times. Thing is, I use other file managers because I work with images and videos a lot plus text or document files as well. Having thumbnails and being able to make them larger and all comes in handy. It seems for that sort of task, mc lacks a few features that graphical file mangers have. If stuck in command line, it is handy. May be handy in other situations as well. Just not in my current one. I may end up using PCMan. I used it for a while and it does well in certain situations but Dolphin had its pluses when dealing with videos and images. Until now at least. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
