GNOME Files

X File Explorer (Xfe) is an MS-Explorer or commander-like file manager for X. It is based on the popular, but discontinued, X Win Commander, originally developed by Maxim Baranov. Xfe is developed in 2002 by Roland Baudin, a french Linux enthusiast. Why another file manager when many excellent choices exist already? Why not use a full-blown, animated, bells-and-whistles file manager like Konqueror, Nautilus, or Rox? Although all these file managers are feature rich and cleverly designed, let's face it, they are huge! If you're a console addict, a light desktop user, or have an older system, resource-hogging file managers just aren't the way to go. Especially since most file managers are Desktop dependent (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, etc.), requiring you to load all kinds of unwanted bloat onto your system. Xfe is small, very fast, and only requires the FOX library to be fully functional. Plus, it can be launched from the command line in a fraction of a second.

Fileside is a file manager for Mac and Windows that lets you create workspaces of tiled folders for each of your projects, collections or workflows. The folders you need will never be more than a click away. And reorganizing them becomes a breeze thanks to the side-by-side layouts. It was born out of frustration with stock file managers, and was designed to tackle the ongoing challenge of recalling where you saved things and repeatedly navigating to those locations. No more opening multiple windows, navigating to the right place in each one, then painstakingly resizing and arranging them just to start moving files around. Fileside also comes loaded with further productivity-enhancing features like full undo for everything, previews, search, advanced folder merging, favorites, history, full keyboard control, compression/extraction, theming etc.
