I occasionally need to mount a partition via shfs of my website on a remote server, but I cant see how to do that in spacefm. Can anyone help me please?Answering my own question, neither pcmanfm nor spacefm could do it, butthunar can. The first two also didn’t show hidden files [think '.foobar'] but thunar can, so I'm moving over to thunar as it, so far at least, does everything that I've asked of it. Thunar can - * automount usb drives,pcmanfm can do that, in pcmanfm it's a tickbox under the 'Volume Management' tab of the Preferences menu.* mount sftp drives,pcmanfm can do that, if you have gnome vfs packages installed (gvfs-backends and gvfs-fuse I beleive).* show hidden files,pcmanfm do that, it's the 'Show Hidden' option in the 'view' menu, and it will remember you're last preference for that setting. And I would expect other file managers to also support these things.Have you checked out Nemo? It aims to be what Nautilus was... http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=198Thanks for this Dave. I had just installed 'nemo' when I installed 'cinnamon' to try out, but hadn't thought to try nemo, but now I have, and so far it does the job! Thanks again Sharon.
Hi Sharon,Do you have Gnome installed? I have nautilus installed (default Debian install) as well and it seems to automount my usb disks and my kindle and my Kobo reader just fine.
Maybe I'm missing something. Re hidden files, it's a preference - see attachment. Sincerely, Kailash
