I've got a suggestion for you, how about the ability to perform searches on your files and be able to save the results of those searches as a folder and have that folder automatically updated. So say you could search for all files edited in the last week save it as a folder and whenever you open that folder it's all the files you edited in the last week from the current date. (do you get what i'm saying?)

Hey, that's a pretty cool idea.

Once I get gtkmm working I'll start working on this project ;). Right now sigc refuses to link for me... :(

If 3p0ch would like a status or something, I'm in the planning/pre-alpha stage. I think I would like to avoid errors made by other file managers, so I'll plan extensively ;). And it'll give me time to get my dev libs working.

Cheers!

What about something like CVS integration? Although I would think that eventually people would want other forms of integration and the file manager would be bogged down again...

Perhaps a clean, minimal default setting with an options dialog to enable integration with other programs.

I was also thinking about console integration (with auto-refresh of course).

Cheers!

Things like CVS could be easily handled with plugins; you only use the features and resources that you need. That way FTP, CVS, SVN, et. all could be there if you need them without the bloat.

I think that one nice feature would be a two-panel view.

Keyboard navigation and a mini-shell would also be nice.
