<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Jerry,<br>
That is great, let me know when JerryFM comes out :D<br>
I think C is better for a file manager, but that is just my
opinion..<br>
<br>
I think experimenting with different apps is great, you find a lot
of things you wouldn't. I for one do not like leafpad at all for
a text editor and always install something else (pluma, geany,
mousepad something with syntax highlighting) For many leafpad
would work well as it is a simple text editor. But I NEED syntax
highlighting in a text editor so I install other apps. Same for
you and the file manager, you are accustomed to certain ordering
of files so you require a file manager that does that to keep your
workflow the same.<br>
<br>
Maybe you could e-mail us your results of testing, or even
contribute a wiki page to the Ubuntu wiki about file managers?<br>

is well taken. I don't know why I was stuck in the "default
file manager" rut. Like has been said, there are lots of
options in the libre software world. I'll just keep
experimenting until I settle on the one that suits me the
best.</div>

I have used many file managers (nautilus, thunar, rox,

xfe, terminal file managers, etc...) and for me
pcmanfm works the best. <br clear="none">
This is (as it has been pointed out) why GNU/Linux is
so great.<br clear="none">
You could even (if you chose) hack the code of pcmanfm
to sort files the <br clear="none">
way you want, and add configuration options etc...
Enjoy libre software! :D<br clear="none">
You are totally free to use caja instead of pcmanfm in
Lubuntu.<br clear="none">
