Great software, thank you.

Excellent! Up 'til now I have not found a decent replacement for Nautilus but having dumped gnome and gone to Xfce I found Thunar to be laughably old fashioned, spaceFM with a few 3rd party plugins is great, stable, customizable and with the new built-in dialog function is in my opinion one of the best FM's around. Could do with built in knowledge of gvfs to handle things like Trash:// Network:// Computer:// etc.

Wow. Does this FM ever have potential! Finally someone who understands what Linux users really need in a FM, and he has crafted that into this project. His knowledge of where a user needs root is as good as it gets. His use of "panels" is simple and yet incredibly useful without unnecessary bloat . Well done.. and I cannot wait until stable! While still in Alpha, it is quite functional even though there are several small(?) but noticeable bugs.

Panel layout is not customizable, it's selectable. You have the ability to show or hide individual panels with different attributes. One with a directory tree sidebar, the others without, two horizontal and two (not counting the one with sidebar) vertical. The vertical panels resize themselves when changing directories which is very annoying. I do like the idea that you can add another panel with just two mouse clicks. It makes it easy to quickly open one if you need an extra for something quickly, then get rid of it when you don't need/want it anymore. It's a good start, but still needs a bit of work. I understand it's still early in development, but take a look at Krusader for some ideas. It's one of the best graphical Midnight Commander clones I've found to date.
