Linux的文件管理器一般比较简单，没有Windows和MacOS上功能那么完善，本文推荐一款比较好用的文件管理器。

1. 何为文件管理器

File Manager aka “File Browser” is an application program which perform the function of Creating, Opening, Renaming, Copying, Moving, Viewing, Printing, Editing, changing attributes, file permission, properties for files and folders.

A File Manager if lags or don’t function properly, System tends to freeze. There are several flavours of File Manager and each of them have certain features which puts them different than others. One such File Manager is ‘The Gnome Commander‘.

Here in this article we will be throwing light on its features, how it is different, Installation, its’ usability, Area of Application, Future of the Project as well as testing it on native machine before reaching a conclusion.

2. What is Gnome Commander?

Gnome commander is a ‘two panel‘ graphical file manager designed originally for GNOME Desktop Environment released under GNU General Public License. The Gnome commander’s GUI seems similar to Norton, Total Commander and Midnight Commander. The above application is developed in GTK-toolkit and GnomeVFS (Gnome Virtual File System).

Gnome commander can be downloaded from the link below in the form of TAR Ball (i.e. Gnome Commander 1.4.1) and then it needs to be build from there.

Index of /sources/gnome-commander/

However, most of the standard Linux distributions of today contains Gnome Commander in repository. We just need to apt or yum the required packages.

apt-get install gnome-commander	

5. 使用方法

5.1. Launching Gnome Commander from Terminal (Command Line)

5.15. Open as root, from the file Menu. Easy Implementation.

5.16. Search Box, customisable

6. Usability and Area of Application

Gnome Commander is for advanced users whose work involves smart file management. This application is not for those users who want some kind of lucid eye candy in their left/top pane. The integration of this project with inbuilt Linux command Line, Makes it very powerful.

7. Future of the Project

The project is more than a decade old and is still in development stage suggests its maturity. There are a very few bugs and non of them are serious till the point of time, this article is being written.

Some of the area this project needs to see into is – support for encryption, support for other network protocols and a good support. Moreover adding some kind of eye candy in the browser window will definitely attracts new users.

8. Conclusion

The project seems very promising at this stage and gives a Geeky experience to End User be it advanced user or Normal User. This is a wonderful project and you must give it a try yourself. This application seems perfect (although Nothing can be perfect) in its working. The ‘files’ operation during testing went smooth and nothing seems to lag/freeze.

That’s all for now. I’ll be here again with another interesting article very soon. Please provide us with your valuable feedback in the comment section.
