I once wanted the same thing and kept being repeatedly frustrated by nautilus, gmc and countless others. Then I discovered gentoo. Once I had overcome my former addiction to "two paned. left side tree, right side contents of directory" interfaces and impregnated myself with the Norton Commander way, I found out I had become noticeably more productive in dealing with file shuffling, especially when took upon myself to memorize some basic regular expression syntax : regex file selection is wonderful ! It's very fast, very clean, very configurable and I have always found it's default behavior to be remarkably consistent. If it just had a few more file types recognized in the default install and if the default program associations were in harmony with the rest of the desktop it would be even better although that's nothing that you can't fix yourselves as you encounter unknown types. apt-cache show gentoo Description: A fully GUI configurable X file manager using GTK+ gentoo is a file manager for X11, written from scratch in pure C. It utilises the GTK+ toolkit for its interface. A goal with gentoo is to let the user do all configuration from within the program itself; there should be no need to hand-edit configuration files and restart the program in order to customize it. gentoo features a fairly complex and powerful file identification system, coupled to a object-oriented style system, which together give you a lot of control over how files of different types are displayed and acted upon.
