We are discussing file managers in this forum thread:

SpaceFM was requested, so I have compiled it in OpenEmbedded, see github:

https://github.com/bkauler/oe-qky-scarthgap/tree/main/quirky/meta-quirky/recipes-quirky/spacefm

...the patches were got from Debian.

In PKGget, update the "oe-scarthgap" database and it can be installed. Note, it reports missing dependency 'eject'; however, there is already an 'eject' utility in EasyOS so no need to install it.

When I ran it, the window colours were odd. You have to go into the "Preferences..." and untick the special colours signifying root user -- very odd I reckon.
