PCManFM Qt 0.1.0 released
Hello world,

The tarball is available for download from our project page.

PCManFM Qt port is 85% finished now!
A picture is worth a thousands words so again let’s see the screenshot first.
This is the Qt port of PCManFM with desktop management feature turned on. The desktop icons and the wallpaper were painted by PCManFM-Qt, just like the gtk+ version of the original PCManFM. The new Qt port is in a pretty good shape [...]
PCManFM 1.1.0 and libfm 1.1.0!
Double release!?

Directory tree is now available in PCManFM!
Everybody loves screenshot!
Directory tree in side pane was a feature in PCManFM 0.5 series, but it’s not yet implemented in the latest rewrite. Yesterday, I finished the rewrite for directory tree and added it to PCManFM. This new feature is now availble in git repository. I also added a drop-down menu to side pane to [...]
