looking for a 2 pane file manager with the posibility to have a file list in each of the panes (not like uXplor a foldertree and an file list). like a mc but with gui.

The program you seek is Xfe (Xfile explorer) which is available in the PSI repositories. It requires Fox shutterbug be installed, too, as that contains the library dependencies.

Hope that helps.

Or you looked for this:

http://dotpups.de/dotpups/File_Managers ... 0.5.91.pup

also like the old Norton Commander (with gui).

Oh, now that's great!

I've just ditched my Xfe and Fox-shutterbug in favor of Tux Commander. Great stuff! Thanks, weredog!

If you're a refugee from the Land of Redmond, you might like ytree. Check your dotpup/pupget/petget package manager for it.

find tuxcommander perfect - need only the change the default settings for view, edit and terminal

I liked Krusador, but don't know if it will run in Puppy

a little problem with tuxcommander

These dependencies required by TuxCommander package are missing:
File /usr/lib/tuxcmd/libgnome_vfs.so has these missing library files:
libgnomevfs-2.so.0 libbonobo-2.so.0 libgconf-2.so.4 libbonobo-activation.so.4

The PETget package manager does not know what package/s has/have these libraries.

is this only for a virtual filesystem????

oliver,

i don't know about the .pet package for tuxcommander, but i just dloaded binary from here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tuxc ... 2?download

and it works straight away. ( it also has aplugins folder containing libgnome_vfs.so & libnull_plugin.so)

muggins · #11 Post by **muggins** » Sun 24 Jun 2007, 10:24

oh!

i just saw this is an earlier version than the one you've dloaded.

Sorry for the bump,but this FM is pretty nice and straight forward to run and add the modules. Till now I was suffering-mc isn't for X.

Ytree is a fine app but the official one doesn't work right with consistency. One should make their own compile and note the difference in file size also.

The compile is very easy.

Thanks for info. I agree that it can be useful for those 'refugees'.

- but not enough for the rest of us who made their first steps with NC.

Excellent - just decompress and run tuxcommander!

Thanks for the URL, muggins.

IIRC the last 'real' Norton Commander sold in the US was version 4. I've attached a picture of it. For me our Linux Midnight Commander looks designed after it.

I noted there was a similar Norton Commander version 5 in German

The UK apparently sold a Windows Version, but sales had stopped before I could buy.

Windows 3.x had a Norton Commander but it wasn't' anything like the one pictured. And I didn't like it either.

---------------

The best one I've seen for Windows is Total Commander. I tried it in wine, but with less than satisfactory results.

Tux Commander interface is much like Total Commander, but at a lower stage of development. Sadly, I haven't seen a lot of developers working on it, otherwise it could be a real winner.

In any event I really prefer dual pane file managers.

WISH File Rusher, inspired by FileRunner, is one of my Tcl/Tk apps I haven't yet rewritten with Gnocl to take on the selected GTK+ theme, but it comes with several color schemes that look almost like those in the clearlooks-colorschemes .PET built into Puppy 4.2. (If you don't like any of them, you can fairly easily create one or more you do like.) Requires only Tcl and Tk 8.5 (or greater), also built into Puppy 4.2. Here it is with the "Autumnalia" color scheme (since this screenshot was taken, I've added a "Petget" button in the middle column for installing Puppy packages):

wish file rusher looks fine.
Very quick (at least on my fast system), very small, everything you need to manage files.
Also large folders like /usr/lib/ are shown very quick.
Runs without further packages in NYP02 midi.

Thanks! Let me see if I can rewrite it with Gnocl (also built into Puppy 4.2) so it will look even finer. (I'm pretty sure I can, although it might take a little while.)

Here is an icon for Tux Commander and my 'gui' settings file (in /root/.tuxcmd/) from where you can get the colors I used: I hope they fit with Deep Thought orange theme.
