Unfortunately my biggest problem with Zorin was also nautilus:
I managed to make a zorin-like theme on Dolphin:
Compared to Nautilus, Dolphin has these features:
- Show hidden items with a different color
- Select predefined icons for folders (similar to Windows)
- Show recently accesed folders (not just files, none of the file managers had this feature)
- Show folder content thumbnails + previews (similar to Windows)
- Run desktop files
- Start file manager from the latest state (windows,folders,tabs) on startup
- Support typeahead search instead of searching recursively on all subfolders when you press a key
- It doesn't lag randomly unlike nautilus
@AZorin @zorink I think Dolphin must be the default file manager on Zorin OS 18.1, nautilus prioritizes minimalism to the point of removing genuinely useful functionality.
