And for users of GUIs who are (understandably) fed up with GNOME and all the GTK Stuff, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dolphin, KDEs standard filebrowser.

Which isn't on Hiatus, doesn't require GTK, and has switchable Split views (aka. dual-pane), and tabs (where each tab may have its own split view).

Dolphin isa a bit useless for serious operations. It uses KIO for file operations (copy, move...), that invokes separate API call for every file, and is very slow and unreliable for large number of files.

Other file managers (Thunar in XFCE) do not have this problem.

GUI file managers are usually used for things where speed is a non-issue. For anything else, Right-Click "Open Terminal Here".

Krusader is made for that.

I used Dolphin for a short while, but it's a bit slow and unreliable with large copying.

Went back to caja.
