#52Is that Stripe modal asking you to enter your credit card number, without knowing what server is it going to, an official Stripe thing? I would never enter any sensitive data there.

#54Did the installer for fman just install Opera as well? When I went to uninstall fman using the Windows control panel, I sorted by install date and Opera was shown as being installed after fman was, within just the past few minutes. I don't think I had Opera installed already, but even if I did it's extremely unlikely that an auto-updated just happened to occur during the couple of minutes I had fman installed.

#55I can tell this is inspired by Norton Commander. My obvious question: Why use fman when I can use Midnight Commander (for Linux) and Far Manager for Windows? Both are very powerful and mature. One reason I ask: fman requires a paid license for business use, whereas the other two do not. (Wrote a Midnight Commander guide once: http://nawaz.org/media/docs/mc/mc.pdf )
Both are command-line only and some people just want a GUI.
I use Windows at work. All I have to do is click on the Far icon and it pops up in a window.
You can do something similar with mc in Linux.

#56Hmm the linux download gives me a .deb file only. I know I could try to extract the binary from it... but I'm too lazy. (ArchLinux user)
pkgname=fman-bin
pkgver=0.3.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A modern file manager for power users"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://fman.io/"
license=('Proprietary')
source=("http://download.fman.io/fman.deb")
sha256sums=('SKIP')
package() {
tar xzvf "$srcdir/data.tar.gz" -C "$pkgdir/"

#59I'll keep an eye on the project as it is something I would gladly use.
My all time favourite nc clone is Altap Salamander, but sadly it's windows only. https://www.altap.cz All the others I've tried, FAR, TC, etc. seemed too ugly or clunky.

#60Looks nice and minimal, but a bit too barebones, mouse seems neglected even for basic usage. I'm missing /.. to go up on the top of the folder, for example. Or even better, It'd be nice if I could click anywhere on the path to go there directly. I'll keep an eye on the project as it is something I would gladly use.
