I’m pretty sure it needs KDE services, so if you’re not running KDE it would be a pretty heavy app to be running for the features (if you didn’t have any other KDE apps). Still, it’s definitely slick for moving files from one place to another. Wish my stupid work laptop (running Win10 -UGH) had a native ssh server running.

Awesome! MS has given us the opportunity to use the file manager that was so crappy we wouldn’t use it then. In DOS, I used XTree and Norton Commander. For DOS-based versions of Windows, I just kept using Norton Commander, and I still use lookalikes 25 years later (EF Commander and Total Commander). I even still use some of the NC DOS color scheme. Explorer sucks.
