SpaceFM a file manager

Hi aus9
Just so no noobs get the wrong idea by reading this statement:
--- Quote ---on some distros, pulling out the usb stick "auto" unmounts ....
--- End quote ---
This is not a safe way to remove a USB drive since there could still be a write in progress. Always unmount a drive first.
Once you have confirmation the drive is unmounted AND the light on the drive stops flashing, it is safe to remove.

No, wbar icon filename must be lower case.

--- End quote ---
No.

Huh? :o
Hard to believe, could you name any specific examples?

There is an essential difference between filesystems mounted readonly vs. read-write.
Filesystems on optical drives happen to be mounted readonly in majority of cases.
Whenever a filesystem on an optical drive is mounted read-write, it has to be safely umounted
before being ejected as well.

I think like a village idiot, if you are suggesting dependencies are too big a download pls say so or whatever you are alluding to pls

I was impressed what dependencies a file manager could pull when looking at the dependency tree,
particularly the subtree of "udisks".
--- Quote ---udisks (or udevil) is the main dependency on some other distros for automounting
--- End quote ---
Glad core doesn't include most of that stuff...

Not necessarily, according to what is discussed here:

coreplayer2:
Even a journaled file system will check the system on boot but may not be able to prevent data loss.. Every inadvertent disconnect I've experienced of a mounted USB has always resulted in a filesystem with the dirty bit set, the only fix is a file system check, again maybe too late to prevent data loss.
