marytee Wed, 30 Mar 2005 11:11:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? Thunar is simply horrible. It seems the name of a barbarian, or of some oozing alien race from Pluto. It sucks.

I voted for Pathfinder because it is both straightforward and lightly humorous. Someone stated this name can be already in use.

"...most unix people do 99% of their "file management" in a terminal."

Which is why we need a new file manager - one that enables users to do all their file managing, including sylinks (relative and absolute), pattern matching, compound commands and such; and wich does so in such a way that it is /less/ work than the command line. This doesn't yet exist (to my knowledge) and I doubt it ever will.

If this is such a program, call it "File Manager" because you won't need anything else. Wed, 30 Mar 2005 13:21:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? X for Linux
F for file
and Leader

Because a file leader is , like the dictionnairy says ...

File leader, the soldier at the front of any file, who
covers and leads those in rear of him.

so its not only managing the file but its protecting and
showing them to the users.

Seeya !!! Wed, 30 Mar 2005 13:34:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? I voted Cabinet, it is something I could relate when I need to look for files. If I use XFCE for the first time and see the app named Cabinet I would definitely think it's the file manager.
In that case you could just name them File Manager or similar, but I think that's too generic and sounds lazy in a way.
Look what we have now:
Finder (Mac) - Sounds right, "need a file, find it!"
Explorer (Windows) - Sounds right, maybe just a bit too wide, more appropriate for Internet browsing
Nautilus (Gnome) - Sounds OK, for a scuba diver maybe, nothing to do with coumputers.
Konqueror (KDE) - While the app is OK, you have no idea what's all about until you click on it.
Cabinet (XFCE) - Probably the best and most appropriate name for a file manager I have ever heard

Cheers guys, and think of us, the endusers, when you choose the name Wed, 30 Mar 2005 14:02:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? would have gotten my vote if it was in the poll (there were so many choices, maybe it was in the poll and I missed it?).

So now, you not even require to build and design and name software environments for people who arent highly proficient at computers, like it was trendy for a time when HIGshit was introduced, but to accomodate them to people who actually _never_ used a computer, or a special desktop environment?

Call me arrogant, but I dont think that anybody who cannot remember the name or the icon of the app he/she will use the most on his computer for the years to come, actually has the brains to make anything useful of a computer besides playing solitaire, if he/she even manages to find out and remember what the name solitaire stands for and how to play it.

The XFce guys *should* be thinking of a better name for XFce. It isn't very memorable. Change it to "X-Force" or something. Seriously... why all of these projects have such forgettable names is beyond me.

XFactor: It sounds like the file manager to be an essential core component of the Desktop. And the pronunciation is forceful and matches the Desktop's name "XFce".

just my opinion Thu, 31 Mar 2005 03:49:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? Since XFce has a mouse for the logo, why not name it after the fastest mouse ever? Speedy. Something like XFSpeedy or SpeedyXF perhaps.

XFile or XFiler are also very good.
I didn't like any of the ones in the poll, sorry. Thu, 31 Mar 2005 04:32:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? really. Thu, 31 Mar 2005 06:02:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? I like XF-Filer or what about XFFM.2

XINN is also pretty cool, but I think you should stick to descriptive names. I'm going to go with Filer. Thu, 31 Mar 2005 07:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? Or any contraction of XFCE Cabinet, like xfcab, would be great.
Xfile(s) sounds good too, and maybe by going the "xfile" road instead of the "xfiles" road, we could prevent some FOX hunting Thu, 31 Mar 2005 15:15:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? What about Mouse-Filer ?
A little long, but no confusion with "official" XFce File Manager and still a reference to the Xfce mouse. Fri, 08 Apr 2005 07:25:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments
