[–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) This file manager made me ditch nnn, very well done! permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dino@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) care to elaborate why? aka give some details on the advantages of superfile? for how long did you use nnn? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) It had some functionalities that nnn did not have like displaying processes or favourite directories and such. In the end I got back to nnn because I read that superfile had internet access plus the fact that I use a graphical file manager for things that nnn or many terminal file managers can not do with extensive plugins. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dino@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Uhm both displaying copy/move process and having shortcuts for "favourite" dirs is quite possible with nnn. Although for the later I mostly use -S argument for persistent session. The only drawback of nnn in my book is the kind of weird/cumbersome way to configure it eith ENV variables. And the non-existent preview image display under wayland. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 2 points 2 years ago Yeah, having to customize with env variables is not great, and adding bookmarks is much easier in superfile. Anyway I suposse one does not set bookmarks to often. Plus nnn was so fast I just tapped they keys to get to the directory I needed easily. Once I learned most shortcuts I was flying trough operarions. permalink fedilink source parent
