I’m kinda still shopping around for a good graphical filemanager. This is of course still very raw, but the tagging system might actually take care of the bookmark aspect, which is very important to me.

      Thank you :) I’ve not been successfull really thus far. My best hope is that someone cooks up something in Rust that I can contribute to/fork to make it into what I want. One can dream ;) I use doublecmd right now, which ticks many boxes, but has some other oddities.

      Yeah, so, bookmarks, I “just” need to be able to organize them, like with a folder structure (or even subfolders, but I don’t want to get greedy), and name them independently of their target. Using tags as a folder substitute is probably ok, that’s why I looked at blazepilot. I also don’t want that dreaded “places” list wasting my screen space, so maybe putting them into a menu or behind a shortcut is in order…

        Do you have any experience with C++? I bet if you could tweak Dolphins Folder panel to display a certain folder instead of mirroring current location, you could then direct it to a folder (with subfolders!) with symlinks in it.

          Ha, nice idea, but I don’t know C++ and that’s a yak I won’t shave :) I’ve also tried working with a folder with symlinks, and I discarded the idea for some reason I’m not really sure on (I think it has something to do with the fact that entering a symlinked directory will have you work inside the symlink, rather than the symlink’s target).
