Bug#692830: ITP: nemo -- File manager for cinnamon
Nemo provides a lot of improvements to nautilus' user experience, including:
*Unified, configurable toolbar: you can add/remove the following: up
icon, refresh icon, toggle button for the location bar / path bar,
home icon, computer icon and search icon.
* Detachable tabs
* Option to show the full path in the titlebar and tab bars
(Preferences > Display)
* Displays an "elevated privileges" banner when running as root
* Built in "Open as root" context menu item
* Built in "Open in terminal" context menu item
* Added GTK bookmarks to the MoveTo/CopyTo context menus
* Added "Set as Wallpaper" to the context menu
* Switch view buttons on the toolbar (Grid, List and Compact views)
* Drag and drop support for the bookmarks in the sidebar
* Sidebar: indicators under each drive, displaying the free/used space
* Collapsable sidebar categories
* Support for sending files via Thunderbird and xdg-email
* Image properties improvements (merged from Nautilus 3.6)
* Memory leaks fixes (merged from Nautilus 3.6)
So, "redundancy" is only partially true. I strongly suggest you accept
Nemo into Debian official repositories (provided the packages are good
quality and lintian-clean). If not, then nautilus maintainers should
incorporate these changes to their file manager (which I think would
be preferable, and alleviate the need for a fork such as Nemo). I
don't think they're willing to do this.
Thanks
