You can filter the dotfiles, that is if I understand correctly what you mean by that...files that begin with a ., right? Under Settings, Customize, File Browser, there is a section called Filter with two options. One of them is Hidden, when unchecked you won't see any of the dotfiles. I don't yet know what the other option is for, No Access Objects. Is this what you're looking for? wow. i feel like a phool now. i swear that option wasn't there a week ago. ;^ thanks for pointing this out. i will still look at nautilus and gnome-commander, but now endeavour2 is high up the list again. it would still be nice if endeavour2 would allow generic regexp-based filters... -- Please do not CC me when replying to lists; I read them! .''`. martin f. krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html Get my key here: http://people.debian.org/~madduck/gpg/330c4a75.asc pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well, as a KDE user, I always think of natilus as an interesting file manager. However, I haven't came across a file manager, which acts as you which ( there might be one though ). But IMHO if you have experience using shell, using that and writing some shell scripts is still the best way to manage thousands of files.

Yeah, these are those dumb truncated file names. Isn't the fullname contained in their header or something? Maybe the script could find all these types of files, find the full name in the header, and mv $i $full_name, where $i is each in list *~?.doc Or, as an alternative, I'd write a script to find all these files, then prompt me for the full name and replace the filename with my input. Here manual work certainly is required but I think it might be quicker. -jackp __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

alternative to endeavour2
i have a tree of all the documents i ever touched in the last 14 years, and i would like to reorganise it. there are 120,000 files and thus i am reverting to a GUI approach; on the shell, my fingers would fall off, mc is nice but a little archaic to use i find, so i want a mouse-driven proggie. there's endeavour2. it's nice. But until it can put a filter on files and weed out dotfiles and links out of the display, it's hardly usable. so i wonder: are there cool alternatives to endeavour2, other then konqueror? i don't do KDE, i'd prefer GTK. if it has to be gnome than that's more alright since galeon forced me to install most libraries anyway already. the bazaar is open. suggestions to me! -- Please do not CC me when replying to lists; I read them! .''`. martin f. krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' :proud Debian developer, admin, and user `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html Get my key here: http://people.debian.org/~madduck/gpg/330c4a75.asc pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
