User Reviews

  • Hi, Program is equipped with all I need except, file creation date. (Especially for ntfs. The Linux ntfs driver does support file creation date, see Dolphin) Thanks!
  • The best file manager for Linux. Amazing!
  • The best file manager. I have been using it for years now. Thanks again for continuing the development.
  • thanks for xfe
  • Xfe is now my go-to file manager on all my Linux installs. For such a capable file manager, it is insanely light! The icing on the cake is the similarly light extra apps -- xfw, xfa, xfi (others?)!
