Best FM to build RPM's in?

[MBantz]

Hi,

I've been looking at several filemanagers lately to see which one is best suited for packaging. My strategy now is to have a small OS in a VM and using the default FM but:

PCManFM does not have servicemenus (right-click) - and very little documentation. They are apparently about to completely rewrite the code.

Thunar messes up in mime types - especially *.src.rpm and *.rpm - when it try to figure out what custom action is to be used. Does not implement the mime-functionality <generic-icon> (src.rpm's and .remove files have default icons). Additions (with workaround) to thunar is in pkgutil. This is my current fm for building.

Dolphin - imo. on 2009, this was somewhat heavy to work with - if it is possible to strip-down dolphin I would go for this. Additions to Dolphin is in pkgutil

Nautilus - has fine support for <generic-icon> - looks like my next candidate for inclusion to pkgutils,

Konquerer - only tried this in the old KDE3 days, was fine then.

others?

what do you think?

When I packaged more, I used Konqueror.. 

I generally use KDE and I like that I can split the window/tab into more panes (I usually open the Sources, SPECS, SRPMS, and RPMSS Folders in the same tab, and have additional tabs for Dropbox, ibiblio, rpmbone, sftp, etc;  now in KDE4.4 you can also combine synaptic in to the mix!)
