File manager for Xfce
A long time KDE3 user but now thinking of Xfce instead as KDE4 is not really my way of doing it. One of the things I've found productive in KDE is the Konqerour file manager, is there anything similar available as a separate app to run under Xfce? In particular, it should accept URI's like sftp://, smb:// etcetra and looking at Thunar it does not seem to have this capability? I suppose I could run Konqerour as an app but that would require buiding a lot of KDE3 as well. Suggestions welcome, thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I haven't had issues on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT. Thunar is good, have not tried using smb:// etc but I will see what happens and let you know. The WebKit based browser in the project is pretty good too. If you are running FreeBSD on a desktop you might want more apps and features that come with KDE or Gnome.

If this works all is fine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: File manager for Xfce
A long time KDE3 user but now thinking of Xfce instead as KDE4 is not really my way of doing it. I prefer Fluxbox and have since I found it. Xfce is rather heavy these days, not surprised you're considering it as a replacement to KDE. But Xfce breaks rather badly at times, I no longer trust it. One of the things I've found productive in KDE is the Konqerour file manager, is there anything similar available as a separate app to run under Xfce? Hmmm not sure about that since I haven't used KDE in ages but have a look at ROX-Filer it is just super. I always install it on all my Linux and BSD desktop machines. In particular, it should accept URI's like sftp://, smb:// etcetra and looking at Thunar it does not seem to have this capability? tsk tsk oh well if you need that sort of thing I'm not sure ROX will work for you. for file management it's super, beyond that the filer doesn't go. Not sure if some of the other ROX bits would work as I haven't used them. I suppose I could run Konqerour as an app but that would require buiding a lot of KDE3 as well. Yes that's the problem with package management. The installation bloat can be significant if you want something and only that thing whilst the port dev decided the entire world was a prereq ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Dolphin is a bit bloated but could *possibly* be workable. It hasn't always worked for me. Anything using GVFS is a real problem and won't do the other special tasks you want it to do. The GIO transition is killing all the fun. Not sure when or whether it will return, but it is a real buzz kill on the net. Alternatively, you could use fuse with a bit of scripting and any lightweight filemanager. Maybe automounter or amd? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
