not at all - the goal of PcManFm is doing all the basics Nautilus can do, more efficiently, taking less disk and ram room, and running faster - and as far, it's hitting this goal! =) - anyway, directory bookmarks always exists, and running nautilus scripts seems to be not much more than choosing and executing simple scripts from a menu considering its directory pointer on the selected tab, and i don't think it would make PcManFm that heavier... - what i think will happen is the reverse way, would be Nautilus copying their efficience from the PcManFm, and would be awesome seeing this! ;) - who knows soon will Gnome deprecate Nautilus prior to PcManFm? ;) > But I leave PCman to answer this. > >> Another situation scarred me weeks ago (also alarmed PcMan), were that >> network-manager dependence on LXDE in the Ubuntu repository, removed >> nm-applet due on a conflict - nm-applet could be optional, as well >> among other interesting and useful file managers > > lxnm conflicts with network manager, as both do the same thing: manage > networks. with a huge and simple difference: nm-applets works, and lxnm doesn't... - and it were a huge headache on guys like me, which loves to use all kind of existing window managers (for example,i have installed Gnome, LXDE, PekWM, JWM, Fluxbox, etc., i love them all, use them all (and need to), and i am helping the development of them all...) > As I said, I would remove lxnm altogether and use network-manager > instead, for the panel icon. +1 > > Bye. > > > -- > Alessandro Pellizzari > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations > Conference from O'Reilly Media.
