The best file manager. I have been using it for years now. Thanks again for continuing the development.

thanks for xfe

Xfe is now my go-to file manager on all my Linux installs. For such a capable file manager, it is insanely light! The icing on the cake is the similarly light extra apps -- xfw, xfa, xfi (others?)!
