Is 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.

Yes, it's called Stripe Checkout [1].

Did 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.

Nope. I have no idea why you see Opera as being installed after fman. Maybe it was installed and updated itself?

I 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.

Neither mc nor far cause problems in GUI environments.

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.

Hmm 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)

Should this PKGBUILD work?

  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/"
  }

Just found this comment from years ago, I completely agree and cannot believe this system has been around for years! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5082918

PS. Great app, BTW!

Looks 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.

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.

It's still somewhat early days. There's a card [1] on the feature requests list for making ".." configurable. The reason it's not there by default is that I want to keep the UI as clean as possible. But if you vote on the card (like many others have), then the implementation of this feature will be moved up in priority.
