Tiling window manager users: What do you do when you see "drop a file here"? I usually just move on but I wanted to try this. I am staring at awesome right now trying to think-of/find a graphical file manager that does not have a thousand dependencies.
- h3st 13y agoIf few dependencies are your thing, you could try rox? http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/ROX-Filer http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/ROX-Filer My package manager tells me it depends on sh, libsm and gtk2. That's not much.
- dfc 13y agoI actually used to use roxterm3. When I mentioned dependencies I should have said "does not depend on kde-base|gnome-core|xfce.
- mintplant 13y agoI split my screen between `nautilus` and `firefox` and drop the file from one to the other. What aspect particular to tiling window managers gives you difficulty?
- dfc 13y agoAwesome/Xmonad/i3 do not come with a GUI file manager (for obvious reasons). I don't have gnome/kde/xfce installed and point and click file management is not going to be the straw that broke the camels back. The only thing that comes close is rkward, but it relies on kde-base which is the most obese of the three big environments.
