Browsing Files with Fluxbox

[MlotPolska]

Um...ya the title basically says it all, i just wanna know what program to use for browsing files on my RH 7.3 box, for Fluxbox....cause i try Nautilus but it opens up in GNOME while im running fluxbox so it's extremely unstable and wierd. I tried Galeon but that got all bugged out and i could select/copy files.

Anyways, so yes, i'm just looking for a file browser to run under fluxbox, reguardless of whether i already have it and don't know about it, or have to download one..thanks in advance:)

Open an xterm and typemc

Rox file manager gives you a gui.

Or there's my preferred method:

1. Open an xterm
2. Navigate with cd and list with ls

All you really need :)

I've heard good things about Rox if you want to try it at http://rox.sourceforge.net/rox_filer.php3

say Tequila, how'd you get your menu centered? is there a command i stick in? or did you just put spaces in the ( )'s ? i'm trying to space mine out but it doesn't look at nice as your FB menu...share your secrets !!:D

The theme you select sets up the menu justification. You can manually change it, just find where you installed the theme and change the following line:

*justify: right

to

*justify: center

I use the ILoveFB theme which uses the center justification so no changes were needed.

As for the dashes you have to manually enter them in your .fluxbox/menu like this:

[exec] (-------) {nop}

Good luck and always glad to see another Fluxbox user :)

I love tinkering fluxbox. It's great to be able to get in the background work and soon after see the outcome of your work. Heck, I love tinkering Linux. Period. [:)]

for the nop setting you can just put [nop] (-----------------)....not that it matter's, just makes ya type less:p

Ooops, you're right, I was doing it wrong lol. Just need
[nop] (-----)

Thanks for pointing that out ;)

Are those the default font's for ILoveFB, Tequila? anorexia and aqui, right? cause i dl'd the ILoveFB theme but i don't think i have those fonts...where did you get them?:D

Yea, those are anorexic and and a few others that are part of a separate download. Check the fluxbox website and look for the artwiz font download.
