Re: [gcmd-dev] Some questions about gcmd

[Qinfeng Guo]

Dear All,
I would also like to hear about the answers for these questions. I've been
looking for a "commander"-like file management tool in Linux for quite a
long time and did try some of them and now gnome commander is my choice.
But to be honest, none of them is great.

I do hope there is a great 'commander'-like tool in Linux especially in
Gnome. And that will be great if gnome-commander could be the one.

I might not help much since I am not a strong c/c++ programmer. But as a
gnome-commander user, I appreciate all developers' work, I wish it would be
great and I would like to help if I could.
