Thanks, working good now once i installed the lib package. Don't like it as good as Thunar, but still a very good alternative file manager. Any way to enable single-click mouse to open files?

Yeah, limited docs can be an issue for simple users - was wondering why no man or more -help, etc (seems kind of do-it-yourself at this stage of the dev)

Anyhow, interesting fm with a few nice features, but..

Even though it works (tried it in precise 5.3.95), it may not be suitable for liveCD multisession with extra add-on sfs packages - for some reason my fs-free went down drastically and here's why: the sfs packages were added again, resulting in a savedir that was radically enlarged and created a RAMFULL situation (tried twice, the 2nd time I didn't save). Not good (for me, anyway) but probably oki for frugal installs.

It's a lighter memory footprint than xfe (0.7 as compared with xfe's usual 1.5 on my machine), but xfe just works better for me. No need to be :oops: for others, thanks for putting it up for testing in puppy :)
