I have mc installed here as well. I have used it a few times. Thing |
| 61 |
is, I use other file managers because I work with images and videos a |
| 62 |
lot plus text or document files as well. Having thumbnails and being |
| 63 |
able to make them larger and all comes in handy. It seems for that sort |
| 64 |
of task, mc lacks a few features that graphical file mangers have. If |
| 65 |
stuck in command line, it is handy. May be handy in other situations as |
| 66 |
well. Just not in my current one. |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
I may end up using PCMan. I used it for a while and it does well in |
| 69 |
certain situations but Dolphin had its pluses when dealing with videos |
| 70 |
and images. Until now at least. |
