do you mean that it has already the possibility to implement / enable the feature?
does pcmanfm fits better?
is possible to configure thunar to make it fit correctly? (yes i can implement this to be auto in elive, fonts sizes configurations are already reduced for small screen, maybe you noticed that)
the best would E22 FM for that (much better sizes management), but that's another topic
What I do not understand of this discussion at all is: About what are we talking here - the best FileManager for ---- 32bit weak and older PC OR the best FileManager for ---- 64bit average PC - huh?
This is BIG difference and not ANY comparable to each other.
For example:
This is full blown up Nemo on Cinnamon:
So what is the conclusion about all this now?
Who will decide - which is the best for Mr. X and what for Mrs. Y ?
And last but not least: SpaceFM ... fantastic - but for sure not for novice users;
I use it when I (e.g. work as network admin) have to shift a lot of different files to several destinations,
it helps to get not lost after some time ... (on bottom you have a progress area for different actions)
to be honest: the learnig curve takes a while - ah we get off topic now
So, How do you get the bar/dock in E16" since you said that there is no bar in E16, this would be the way to go with that option then? I am surprised you did not tell about that feature for the E16 we are testing.
ALT+ESC is fine for those who are use to it and know that key function but for new users coming from elsewhere would not know that and are accustomed to a laughpad or docking of some sort. Bar/dock for E16 should be default for this feature desktop
because that dock was "engage", but a version of engage which was not (yet) made for E17 on that time (the actual engage we use is an e17 emodule, the code is entirely different), this is something about more than 10 years ago lol
this means that is not possible to use it anymore, but hey! maybe the source code stills around (maybe in the git history!) on that time was called itask-ng and not engage iirc, maybe somebody could try to compile it and see if works, and if not, maybe it requires just minor updates in the code, so who knows if we could use it in the end
any volonteer to try to compile it? @triantares maybe?
Why research: because #system:applications is more like related to questions about the included applications in the system, and this topic was more like related to a research about different filemanagers
