As Nautilus has been horribly slow for a long time, I switched to PCManFM, the file manager of LXDE. It integrates well with GNOME, and is pretty much full-featured. There's also a status bar ;-) The only weird thing is that in the "detailed list view", the sort order cannot be changed by clicking the column headers.
- vanderZwan 13y agoThat's odd, I'm on a netbook running Lubuntu right now and I can do that. Have you tried filing a bug?
- andor 13y agoIt seems to be a known bug in PCManFM 1.1.0. Ubuntu 12.10 ships with version 1.0.1, which is unaffected. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3583229&group_id=156956&atid=801864 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3583229&...
- vanderZwan 13y agoWhat about 13.04, which is what I'm running?
- gizmo686 13y agoThanks for the pointer, I just switch to PCManFM. Anyway, using the version in Ubuntu 12.10 can sort by clicking on the column headers. Also, as someone who does not use a full DE, I appreciate the fact that the defualt is not to start managed the desktop when you start PCManFM, as opposed to Nautilus which defaults to managing the desktop when you open it. I still don't get why managing the desktop is always the same program as the file explorer, but Windows does the same thing, so their might be some deeper reason than 'becuase nautilus is doing it'
