Midnight Commander is *the* file manager to use -- but to view photos etc then MC is kinda handicapped requiring something like Konqueror (or one of the picture viewers).
Just "enter" into a photo and it calls "display" to display it, if you are in X.
True, but you can only view one picture at a time and need to exit and then, after selecting a new one, hit RETURN on it to view it. Nor is it capable of displaying tiff images (if I recall correctly). Bottom line is that mc is a bit limited in this area.
BTW, mc is not an automatic selection in 11.1 KDE4 and (from memory) doesn't even appear on the list of installable software. However, from command line, as root, 'zypper install mc' installs Midnight Commander.
I hope it is at least included in the text pattern. They usually forget to add it. I'd love to have it in the rescue dvd. I also hope that they add back in the Rescue option which is not on the CD at the moment. Following some upgrades a couple of days ago my 11.1 Beta3 can no longer use zypper to upgrade files- comes up with error message that the zypper-something-or-other-common-database-or-something cannot be found.
For the time being I've relegated Beta3 to the scrap heap as I don't have the time or the download capacity to waste on reinstalling it and downloading all the supposedly available files to meet dependencies for any upgrades.
