#244235 — TDE File Manager options

Hi,

Yes, I know that in previous emails I was using LXDE, but I thought that I 
would nuke and pave give TDE a try since I had never tried TDE  before.

And I am wondering what other file managers work with TDE 14 besides 
Konqueror,  which ain't worth a dang! 

Thanks,
Chris

I would expect that every X11 file manager and every terminal
file manager will work with TDE. There's no need to be
consistent unless you are very short on RAM and thus need to
minimize the number of unshared libraries.

I started to type similar in answer to a different thread a couple
days ago. The only drawback about this CHOICE is that sometimes the
desired packages bring in a [boatload] of dependencies that are only
related to the desktop environment most likely to be developing them..
and their interoperability.

Appreciate these threads. I was wanting to install another instance of
Debian. For some dingbat reason, it NEVER occurred to me to pick
something other than XFCE4 on a partition by itself.

As I type that, I do remember having problems with themes and such
features not playing consistently when the same entire /home/user
directory is rbind'ed to all of them. During those times, though, I
had three or four desktop environments all installed on the same
single partition. I'm smelling a lot of symlinking and rbind'ing
necessary to make it work. There was at least one thread about that
quite a while back.

the erason many use TDE is 
- it is very small in size
- it is very reliable (things just work)

even the bugs are well known and constantly fixed

So may be you are more for an adventage with another desktop. For me some
few months experience with Gnome or KDE4 or 5 was enough to stick to TDE.

I'm more old school, did my first linux install from floppies for red hat 
5.0 in late '98.  mc was old then, has an ugly face, but it can do 
anything. Krusader has a pretty face, can't do half of what mc can do. 
But it has likely grown some since the last time I played with it, so you 
might find it useful if you like eye candy.

I can't imagine getting as much as half my work done in as little as twice the
time using some GUI file manager instead of my OFMs, MC and FCL.

And another old school speaks up.

Take care and stay well Felix

I prefer those tools, which does the job best: Sometimes MC, sometimes the 
commandline and sometimes graphical tools.

And I gife a f..k on this, what people tell about my tools.

This includes also weindowmanagers: Sometimes I am using LXDE or LxQT (i.e. on 
my EEEPC), sometimes Plasma5 and sometimes XFCE (this also with kali-
undercover). 

I also checked with TDE (fast on my EEEPC), but as it got interfered with 
Plasma5, I had do deinstall it (for those who are interested: The interference 
was with ksysguard and kmail, there were suddenly two of them with same 
menuentries, same icons and both interfered each other).

However: That is what counts in linux: Doing one tool for one task at itss 
best!

Have fun!

according to this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux
SuSE Linux 6.0  was released on 1998-12-21 

AFAIR October 4, 1985 was founded the free software foundation

The 1986 memory could have been to Norton Commander for DOS, the forerunner to MC.

But almost 25 years with linux is also a rather long time, and as I came from

Sorry for my mistake.

Happy hacking!

1986 seems to be a bit too early to me, since the first SUSE Linux (1.0)
was released 1994.
S.U.S.E. 6.0 was released Dec '98 and S.U.S.E. 6.1 released in Aug '99.
Maybe that's the year you wanted to tell.

My first Linux installation was a Power Linux from LST around 1996;
because I knew founders and team of LST personally.

Take a look at XFE, a fairly full-featured, but lightweight, X-based
file manager. It seems compatible with all window-manager only or DTE
systems. I've been using it since I upgraded to Wheezy/Openbox (No
DTE just the window manager) from Fedore 12/Gnome years ago. XFE
continued to work fine with Stretch, Buster and now Devuan Beowulf.

Hello.  You can try a good old file manager Dolphin (from TDE project).
