I upgraded to pcmanfm-mod 1.2.4 (from 1.2.3), primarily to get rid of that dreadful virtual desktop icon, but it is also based on the PCManFM v0.5.2 legacy, so stable like you noted, which is just fine with me too.gapan wrote:Lubuntu and arch had the trash feature in PCManFM for some time now, because they had packaged an unstable development version of PCManFM. That may had made the trash work, but also caused several issues, more important than trash not working. In Salix we prefer to stick with stable and tested releases of software, even if they are missing some new features.
Have you looked at SpaceFm? Its by the author of pcmanfm-mod. I have 0.7.7 in my 13.37 sourcery, 14.0 has version 0.8, the current version is 0.8.4. So still in active development. I've been keeping an eye on it as a user. How does this sound to you from a system's standpoint, does it fit in well?
(snipped from the webpage's highlights section)
Lightweight & Independent - Written in C with GTK+, udev and inotify support
* Written entirely in C - super fast with low resource usage
* Independent of particular distributions and desktop environments
* Builds easily on almost all Linux systems
* Builds with any version of GTK+ ranging from 2.18 to 3.x; relies only on stock GTK+ icons
* Built-in virtual filesystem (VFS) code uses core C kernel functions for speed and reliability, with no dependence on gvfs, etc.
* Interfaces directly with udev for device support, with no dependency on udisks; can also be built with deprecated HAL support instead of libudev
* Built-in support for inotify-capable kernels (most are), meaning there are no dependencies on file alteration monitors (fam, gamin, gvfs, etc). (For rare kernels without inotify support, can easily be built with deprecated fam/gamin support.)
