And no one said that one couldn't recommend using a command line tool. But the fact there is a command line tool doesn't make the need of the same feature in a GUI file manager absurd or irrelevant. And your opinion on that matter is irrelevant as you are not the one asking for help. > > The debian-user list is a communication medium where each and any user > > of Debian, from "newbie" to "expert" to ask questions and share their > > knowledge about the project and its features. > > Why talk about Debian, irrespective of what list this is, when a more > powerful, simpler, more fundamental utility is available on *ALL* distros? Being "irrespective" of the list is completely irrelevant to the matter, as this very list is a Debian one for people needing help about Debian. Not just the ones you think have a right to ask for help but all of them. This fact litteraly makes the whole remains of your mail moot, and I'll henceforth refrain from answering to it. Feel free to ignore """lazy""" people from now on, but don't be irrespectful to them. You have no right to, and they don't deserve it. -- Pierre-Elliott Bécue GPG: 9AE0 4D98 6400 E3B6 7528 F493 0D44 2664 1949 74E2 It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
