Dino File Manager (DFM) is a File manager written in Qt, which promises to be lightweight and functional. Although its development is still in a very early stage, it is already perfectly usable and needless to say, the integration with KDE o RazorQT it's excellent.
Dino it's fast, it has tabs and even its own integrated text editor. It can be completely controlled by keyboard shortcuts, with which we can create folders, create symbolic links, create custom actions, and work with our files.
It has a very simple view mode that allows you to display folders in the form of a tree. The tabs can be placed at the top or bottom and the only problem it has is that it consumes a few Mb more than Thunar y Nautilus with a single window / tab open.
The source code of the project can be obtained at the following link http://dfm.sourceforge.net/ and luckily for us, we can test it in most of the most popular distros since it is in their official repositories.
Great, I'm interested in it - although Dolphin is a great file browser. I'm going to see if it's in the Arch AUR.
It's good for anyone who wants to make razorqt work with a lightweight qt manager.
Hmm ... if with a tab it consumes more than Nautilus, I don't think it is particularly light.
I don't know if it is the trend, but every time people try to make lightweight file managers, with few or hidden features, copying the crap from the osx file manager, finder ...
Cross your fingers so that no such thing happens 😐
I've been looking for a file manager in Qt for a long time and nothing, in the end I always have to go back to pcmanfm. Let's see if there's any luck with Dino!
Added to my list of lightweight apps for when RazorQt is more mature… 🙂
There is a pretty good one qtfm
That I am using with Razor-Qt xD
We will have to try it to see how it works. It would be ideal for the Razor, which I recently tested, and while it still has a long way to go, it promises a lot.
Just how I like simple and handy file managers, before I got stuck with the FD, I was using the Tux commander. It will be time to try this to see how it goes in Trisquel.
