Re: [dwm] [Offtopic] minimalistic filesystem ncurses viewer
I use vifm, what bugs did you encounter? I liked vifm but it gave me some random segmentation fault, mostly when the window was resized, also sometimes the screen was badly redrawn. At least that happend to me with my Ubuntu 8.04 on amd64. Even compiling with ncursew, fm does not display utf8 properly, is it a known issue? I'm gonna look that, maybe I should change a few ncurses calls to support wide characters. -- Ricardo

Re: [dwm] [Offtopic] minimalistic filesystem ncurses viewer
Hey All, What's wrong with midnight commander? It's an oldy but a goody. Two pane file interface, has a boatload of features. Is it the bloat of these other features that you're trying to avoid? Personally, I don't use a file manager. A straight bash prompt with cd, ls, tree etc is fine for day to day use. Instead of the binary tree program, I found this bash-oneliner replacement: find . -print | sed -e 's;[^/]*/;|;g;s;|; |;g' It's about the same speed as the regular program and more suckless then a dedicated binary.(IMO) -- Ian Daniher On Sat, Dec 27, 2008 at 10:54 AM, Jack Woehr j...@well.com wrote: Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez wrote: I tried it after vifm but what I really wanted was a very minimal filesystem viewer with vim-like commands, that's why I wrote fm.
