Eagle Mode Reviews

As a KDE user, Dolphin is the best file manager I have ever used. If Eaglemode could be married to Dolphin we would be living in the future of file access. ---------------------- Right click context menus, file associations, plugins out the wazoo, easily configurable toolbars, global themes and overall consistency would nearly be heaven. ---------------------- I realize such a constrained endeavour can be very limited, but Oliver has done a wonderful job showing what is possible. Thank you very much. ---------------------- I am not a developer so my viewpoint is limited to my ability to grasp many new concepts. My rating scale will probably change as time goes by, I hope. ---------------------- I rated a 3 for Ease because KDE does not use the same programs that Eaglemode expects to see. I learned how to change that. Yay. Also new aproaches to viewing objects always involves a personal learning curve. ---------------------- Features got a 4 because I like KDE which has max features. If I could just copy all the features from Dolphin over to Eaglemode I would more than likely explode from sheer joy. ---------------------- Design received a 4 due to my perceived lack of continuity between the various elements of the gui. The toolbar sections each require different aspects and not all aspects are easily changed. A global theme would be beautiful. Many visual parts seem overly complex. Simple is to me better and easier. ---------------------- Finally Support only was worth a three which is in my opinion due to the constrained support of the developer. After all, Oliver is only human with a personal life and many responsibilities if he is like most of us. ---------------------- I would love to see many more people jump on the bandwagon to support Eaglemode. It is a worthwile piece of software which I feel has a big future in the computing industry, if only with a little help from friends. ---------------------- Thanks again, Oliver. ---------------------- Vic

Awesome project!

Does the idiom 'Not all who wander are lost' resonate with you? Does (double) clicking or cd'ing feel inefficient? You'll LOVE Eagle Mode. I have for years and it's a shame I haven't written a review sooner. Instrumental in teaching secondary students about the Linux filesystem by example, as well as grokking project repositories.

After I saw a review of the app on youtube I started to use it and I am loving it.

This is plain genius. Build system is somewhat strange, and not many linux distros have a package for EagleMode. Building it is easypeazy though. My only gripe is that you must install it in a single directory, so it is non-conformant with some distro package manager guidelines (Void Linux comes to mind).

This file browser is one the most unique I've ever used and I've used in the past file browsers on Windows, BeOS, OS9, OSX and now Linux. In the beginning it was a little rough but once you get the hang of it you can zip around your files and locations extremely fast. The top tool bar is packed with features as well. I still need to use Dolphin for some things but for the rest I use Eagle Mode. Highly recommend.

eagle flying where you want. Would be cool to see treemap view, file drag and drop, image backgrounds on directories in future. Very powerful as it can do anything you want it to do.

Great software. Once tried one would wonder how did we live before it!

Excelent! My favourite app. I use in all my hosts. An a beautiful feature can would be the possibility of join all configs in a central point.

I also use Windows 8.1 and have successfully installed this amazing project. Olha tells you that not all of the facilities are available in Windows but I amd going to set one of my old laptops up with Linux and see what more it can do. Well done Olha!

Using MSWindows 8.1. I see just scripts. Looking for a file manager need a startup file to execute. .exes in binary files say that miss dlls. Hardous to trust in aplication without control.

I use almost every day! A great project! Thank you!

After reading the well-written usage tutorial, this quickly became one of my favorite programs. It's very well-made, includes many features, with one of my favorite being that you can quite easily make plugins to add features it might not have yet! It also has great documentation and fast responses on the forums! It's awesome! :D

Very useful project!

I'm using it every day of the week with a nifty little Nagios plugin I wrote. I'm still dogfooding the whole thing before I release it, but I do plan to release my work soon.
