Can your file manager do this? Checkmate, GNOMEfags

Nah, he's probably a minimalist and thinks cd, ls, etc. are a valid alternative to a file manager.

Qhat? No spring-loaded folders?

>optical media in 2019
>optical media in 20xx
Not only does my manager not support this, I don't want it to.

How do you feel about 3.5 jacks?

>audio CD
I'm not boomer enough to own one so I can't tell. Why do you think Nautilus can't browse CD drives?

I'm not attached to 3.5mm specifically.
A wired audio connection I can take or leave.
The main concern for me is power, which doesn't have to come from the audio-source device itself imo.
For instance, imagine headphones that are charged via a wire for power but wireless for audio transmission.
It could be usb terminated, and plug into your phone, laptop, or a wall. So it could be the same device, but it's not required to be.

Likewise you could do audio over wire, but again it doesn't have to be 3.5 terminated. I see no reason it has to be this way and would honestly rather have more ubiquity and/or modularity. Even if we don't want to drop a wired connection, we can trend towards requiring less unique ports per device. In the same way motherboards don't ship with multiple, individual/unique serial interfaces and instead ship with a hundred USB interfaces.
It makes more sense to me.

I'd rather see a phone with 2 usb ports than 1 usb port and 3.5 jack.

Wow, linuxfags discovering an ancient time technology

usb c standard does not allow for analog signaling.

yes aren't we so great? fuck off

There is

This is bloat.
You suppose to use assembly language to extract data from your data storage devices.

WHOA

bloat, just use binary

Can ESR (Icecat, actually) do this too? Firefox added official support in 64.0 I believe, but I am aware that there were custom patches available before.

>using a language
bloat
all you need is a magnetized needle

I don't get it

Don't get me wrong I like KDE. Gnome always felt a little sluggish and lacking in features and in the last maybe 3 years KDE got suddenly real good. But I don't get this.

So? Transfer it digitally and have the DAC in the actual headphones.

What's the best KDE distro?

SuSE

THIS but unironically
I fucking hate gnome 3 and how touch screen / mobile / "Macfag" oriented it is.
I'm not saying you gotta use KDE but damn SHAME on you if you're running gnome in current year.

>why would I want features? being able to actually do shit is bloat!

Manjaro or neon

At lrast use the zoom and tree view and such.

Yeah. Bad weed. I'd classify Jefferson Airplane as "stupid music" or "music for stupid people".

Gentoo is one if the very best, the respective maintainers have put a lot of effort into kde.

Gentoo

file managers are just a graphical overlay for those commands

OpenSUSE had one but I think it doesn't work anymore

Slackware. Hands down.

I liked it more when the free space was inside the bar representing it.

>file name next to image instead of under it
for what purpose

You need to use flatpak portals, there is also a bug pre 5.14.5 KDE where it doesn't autofill the filename

Just install xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-kde and start Firefox >64 with GTK_USE_PORTAL=1

SUSE is a fucking mess. And it hurts, because it has tremendous potential.

This. Memejaro is pretty good, Neon is obvious. Kubuntu is great as well. Also without memeing I only heard great things about Gentoo KDE implementation.

What actual shit? Even with the option to, I haven't used optical media in over a decade, that's the point.

I wish I could use KDE file picker, but jesus, it requires 50+ dependencies.

KDE shits all over Gnome, not even a contest. I miss using it.
What is the best KDE-based distro available right now?

>macfag
Mac at least has a dock were you can change your apps. Gnome 3 needs to bring you an entire different screen to do that, what were they thinking? What make gnome usable is dash to dock

she cute

GNOME 3 IS JOKE:
>memory leak right on boot that affects alt+tab, their overview shit, anything you do will amp up memory usage
>they spawn another pulseaudio instance, making pairing a bluetooth headphone hell, you need to manually hide pulse from GDM
>it simply breaks the theming randomly or for some people right after waking from sleep

INTO THE TRASH IT GOES. If you want something modern use KDE or Deepin, you'll be spied by the chinks but at least it works.

KDE is the best DE

KDE is the only modern desktop environment available that is not absolute fucking garbage

That's what I have right now, but I want to switch to IceCat which is ESR 60.
Hm, seems like it could work for older versions (such as 60).
>there is also a bug pre 5.14.5 KDE where it doesn't autofill the filename
yeah, I've experienced that but now I'm on 5.15 and it works fine. Well, not really fine because there's another bug - it doesn't ask you if you want to overwrite file if it already exists. One has to be cautious when saving stuff.

go into setting and check the little box for audio file previews

>SUSE is a fucking mess.

agree but suse tw is still my goto distro and always will be

>still being on 5.14
absolutely pathetic

i fucking hate bloated software like this but nice album mate

You can have the filenames below the images.

SuSE, Manjaro or Neon

I just noticed that you can enable the preview on the right just like on GTK, except that the image is not displayed too small and you can even play videos

any thunar bros in here?

i use thunar on kde instead of dolphin

>she

Ahh, my mistake. Hard to tell at a glance.

I only have it installed for the batch renamer. Not being able to save view settings on a folder basis is kind of a deal breaker for me.

In settings, there's sliders for both icon and preview sizes in each of the three view modes (icon, details, and compact)

KDE and Xfce are poorfag choices because it's all they can run on their weak refurbished Memepads from the 2000s. Any computer more powerful than a toaster must be running GNOME, Linux's standard desktop environment

gtk file picker has icons but they're small.
If you can't spot the one you're looking for you can right click and there's an "open in file manager" option.

When I said that the preview was too small I was talking about the GTK file picker. With KDE you can both change the size of the icons and the size of the preview pane on the right.

>Linux's standard desktop environment

I use Gnome for the same reason. I don't want to stay in front of a new PC at work thinking "i wish it had kde" or whatever.

ALL of them do/show the same thing. It doesn't matter if you are a home user: just watch porn

>gnome
>powerful computers
i literally ran gnome on a pentium 4 shite that hardly ran gba emulators
that same machine did not handle kde as well

i prefer just having the F7 part of the navigation panel on the left open. Less clutter. I don't use the F9 part as often, and the same features are on the computer tab of the application launcher anyway.
Actually closer at hand if you set the application launcer to open with meta key.

Odd, mine doesn't look like that.

Stored on a what?

what what?

CRUX YOU PIECE OF SHIT!

CRUX YOU PIECE OF SHIT!

Why the fuck is there no file manager that has directory specific views? I want thumbnail view in my pictures and videos folders, but detailed list everywhere else

Dolphin lets you do this. I have detail view for my Documents and thumbnail view for my Pictures.

I think some versions of pcmanfm can do this.Maybe I'm thinking of Spacefm.

The best out of the box setup for any desktop environment is Arch Linux.

Fedora KDE has been the best and just werks in my experience.
Arch was good too, but obviously requires a lot of work.
Neon was close to Fedora but hat some weird touchpad issues.
openSUSE had touchpad issues as well, an update broke audio (tumbleweed)
Manjaro was unusable, couldn't even get it installed because the live iso had extreme display issues.

Dolphin (I think it's even default) has an option to "remember view properties for each folder"

Surely you must want album art on your music file icons?

Attached: 1511488704756.jpg (348x348, 17K)

nope

Dolphin and Nemo can do this. PCManFM is also able to, but it requires you to tick a checkbox for every folder that is supposed to have a different view mode than the default one and it doesn't allow different zoom levels for the same view mode in different locations.
Not sure about Nautilus. It's been so long since I use it, that I can't remember anymore.

arch or unironically gentoo

>memory
It's in the gvfs-backends. Uninstall them and that goes away. Probably the fucking apple one.

Xfce

You want to tell us you've been optical media free since 2000? Sure buddy.

At least 201x, but I'm confident there was no discs in use after 2004 for me, maybe sooner.
I was committed to making sure things either went through the network or USB for all my needs because discs where physically bigger than floppies and less convenient (fragile) to transport.
Flash drives where the clear winner even then.

>Not being able to save view settings on a folder basis
I actually find that feature severely annoying in any file manager. When I'm digging through folders I want the view to remain consistent throughout, and if I need it to change, I can do by clicking a simple button or hitting an associated key combination. Thunar is a top-tier file manager.

You can patch the GTK file chooser to have decent thumbnail, but I don't care enough to do it.
