Rodent Core is a cool, open-source file management tool that's super speedy and works great on all GNU/Linux systems and even some BSD versions. If you're an experienced Linux or UNIX user, this file manager is built for you. It runs on the X11 Window System and plays nicely with different desktop environments. Fun fact: Rodent is the new and improved version of the old Xffm file manager, which used to be popular with the Xfce desktop environment.
So, what makes Rodent Core stand out? First off, it supports multiple plugins! You’ll find plugins like a Windows network plugin (xfsamba), a bookmarks plugin, and an fstab plugin among others. Plus, it doesn't clutter up your screen with unnecessary buttons or menus. Instead, you can access everything through keyboard shortcuts or a handy pop-up menu.
This file manager takes things up a notch from Xffm by being optimized for multicore CPUs. This means it's faster and more efficient when managing files!
Rodent Core doesn’t stop there! It also includes a diff viewer for comparing files and folders, a Samba navigator, support for FUSE (Filesystems In User Space), file shredding options, previews of files, a search tool, process control features, and much more! With these tools at your disposal, it’s a fantastic alternative to lightweight managers like Thunar and PCManFM.
The Rodent Core project comes bundled with other essential components in the Rodent applications project. It's written in C programming language and uses GTK+ for its graphical interface. Right now, it has been tested successfully on popular Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, openSUSE, Arch Linux, Fedora - you name it!
You won’t need any extra apps besides what's mentioned above to get Rodent up and running. It plays nicely with almost any open-source desktop environment or window manager including Xfce, LXDE, Enlightenment, Openbox, or Fluxbox.
