I used eaglemode as my main file manager for a long time. I know the poster before me says it's not practical, but I had a great experience. Zooming in nested folders is cool, but the features most useful in day-to-day life were:
- Zooming in the corners of a file to see detailed information (size and disk space down to the individual bytes, hexadecimal representation of contents, some other stuff I don't remember).
- Instant visualization of almost any document (images, videos, audio, pdf (with pages side by side!), html, txt, doc, etc) straight from the file manager, with no additional clicks.
- Transparently navigating inside compressed archives (after a warning tunnel saying that this operation could be expensive).
- The two-selections mechanic for file operations, which I have never seen before or after, is incredibly intuitive after three tries and works well across a variety of operations.
- All configuration is laid on a single panel, also zoomable, with detailed information laid as a (initially) minuscule text right beside each option.
- It's just plain impressive, and a great conversation starter.
Unfortunately I had to stop using it because it was getting harder and harder to satisfy the numerous dependencies to keep media visualization working. This is even more problematic in Windows, which is a shame.
