SpaceFM is a multi-panel tabbed file manager for Linux with built-in VFS, optional udisks-based device manager, customizable menu system, and bash integration.

Highlights

  • Lightweight - Written in C with GTK2 stability, inotify kernel support, optional udisks
  • Responsive - Built-in vfs runs fast with low resource usage (no gvfs, etc)
  • Flexible - Can appear very simple or very complex depending on configuration
  • Multiple Windows - A single instance opens multiple windows
  • Multiple Panels - Each window contains up to four independently configured and interactive browser panels plus a task manager pane
  • Tabbed - Each browser panel supports multiple folder tabs
  • Side Panes - Any browser panel can show Devices, Bookmarks, and Directory Tree side panes
  • Desktop Manager - Includes a built-in, lightweight DM mode with custom commands - works great with Openbox
  • Device Manager - Loose udisks integration for manual and customized automatic device management, plus easily format, backup and restore partitions and MBRs
  • Task Manager - Control or eliminate popup dialogs with multi-tasking abilities - no waiting to move on to your next task
  • MIME - Manages MIME file types and default actions
  • Custom Menus and Toolbars - Its unique Design Mode allows you to quickly change any menu or toolbar item name, shortcut key, or icon, and insert your own commands or submenus anywhere
  • Plugins - Install, copy, and export custom commands as plugins
  • Bash Integration - Built-in bash scripting support for custom commands, with file manager data exported as bash variables
  • Output Control - Monitor the stdout/stderr output of built-in and custom commands, with error detection and popup control, or run commands in a terminal
  • Fonts & Icons - Easily configure custom fonts and icons in each panel or pane for a unique look
  • Styles - Show files as icons or in lists with customized columns
  • Find-As-You-Type - File list allows you to quickly locate a file with a case-insensitive substring search of filenames - just type a few letters
  • File Search - Flexibly search for file names, sizes, content, etc. with no daemons
  • System Management - Safely perform quick commands as root or run a root instance
  • File Management - Extensive move, copy, link, drag-n-drop, and clipboard control
  • Archives - Single-click, built-in archive creation and extraction, or use external apps
  • Daemon Mode - Run in the background to automount devices and autorun apps, and quickly open browser windows
  • Alternate Builds - deprecated support for hal (replaces udisks) and fam/gamin (replaces inotify)
