PCMan File Manager (PCManFM) is meant to be a replacement for Nautilus, Konqueror and Thunar. PCManFM is the standard file manager in LXDE.

UPDATE: pcmanfm version 1.3.2 on updated Mint Linux Mint 21.1 Vera kernel 5.15.0-102 is broken. smb support is broken after update. Also, pcmanfm has been in decline and is no longer recommended.

The once good and now broken file manager that is no longer in favor.

Current issues:

  • Slow SMB network share browsing issue
  • Crashes when browsing network shares
  • File and directory list does not refresh on network shares
  • Unable to fix poor toolbar arrangement (was better in previous versions)

This was once a superior to Nemo file manager and a recommended replacement for Nemo for users of Mint as well as a Nautilus for related distributions.

PCManFM has been in decline since 2020's and is currently broken as of version 1.3.2-1
