App to check out - broot (interface like MC - lite, but configurable and capable)
All, I stumbled upon broot, a MC type app for the shell (written in Rust) that I first dismissed, but then gave a try. The interface is clean and simple, many many commands, the ability to operate on search results (with, e.g. find..) as a directory itself, so you have full broot options/commands available for each file in the results. A handy file preview [ctrl + rt-arrow] (even graphics formats [very low res]). I didn't find it in a package search with zypper, but somebody has to be building it in build-service. https://github.com/Canop/broot -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Interesting. I must try it. Which openSUSE version do you have? I found it in repo-oss in Leap 15.5 and Tumbleweed.

I stumbled upon it in Arch, I haven't built it yet for opensuse (though I do have cargo and rust installed, so I could build and dump in /usr/local on 15.4 for the time being. If you have rust and cargo installed, you can just clone the repo (or download the zip), unzip it, change to the directory and type 'cargo' to build. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Are you familiar with File Commander? http://silk.apana.org.au/fc.html I started using it around 3 decades ago, in OS/2, to facilitate the migration from DOS and NC. On Linux I only use the devel versions: http://silk.apana.org.au/pub/fcl/nightly/ -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
