I agree with you
I use only PCManFM as file manager and I like it
But browsing for files is a specific works that it's best suited by a file
browser/manager and PCManFM works like I expect...
I'm speaking about a specific fork of PCManFM that only compete with iDesk
in terms of pure desktop icon drawer/user interaction.
Like you I love and promote PCManFM as file browser but at the moment I use
iDesk when I need a very light desktop icon drawer (I don't use so much a
file manager because I work with files using LxTerminal...mv cp touch and
rm fits very well into my daily working process)
To return in topic...the problem remains...LXDE already fit well into low
resource systems, the rest it's up to the applications that tends to weight
too much
thanks for you response,
regards,
Luca
