I found it expedient to have at least three instances of the file
manager open - [one for source directory and at least two for
destination (sub)directories].
Suggestions?
Is it even possible?
Brief web search was not encouraging. But my search terms may have been
the problem. Suggested search terms?
TIA
I asked related questions on a LUG list and a Tcl/Tk group.
Suggestions tended to lead to a two pane file manager.
Having followed multiple chains of links caused me to rethink my work
flow simplifying use of my current file manager (Caja).
Long term, I'll pursue a two pane solution.
I've installed Krusader and GNOME Commander for testing.
A chain of links led to 'filerunner'
[https://sourceforge.net/projects/filerunner/] which I downloaded and am
reading the documentation to chose which options to initially chose.
Usage appears to be intuitive - at least for my work style.
It is intrinsically highly configurable.
It is written in Tcl/Tk allowing/encouraging further customization.
It will likely be my long term solution.
Thanks for all the links.
