Thunar File manager (Zorin OS Lite) does not truncate file names:

I use Nemo File manager on Zorin OS Lite. I find it more configurable.

Using Nemo, you can also truncate the file name with:

gsettings set org.nemo.icon-view text-ellipsis-limit "['1']"

Desktop icon file name:

gsettings set org.nemo.desktop text-ellipsis-limit 1

how i can install it and makeing it the deafult manager? and it's work faster without problem like Thunar with xfce (zorinlite)?

[Aravisian]

sudo apt install nemo

How do I change or delete the default file manager (Nautilus)?

I also use Nemo (In fact, I use the Cinnamon desktop) on Zorin. You cannot remove Nautilus from Zorin Core as it is integrated into the desktop. But you can make Nemo the default: Once you have Nemo installed, please run the following in terminal: xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true

Thank u very much , it's very good , it's fast and text under icon become better, and no problems with xfce now. if i get problems with it can make the thunar the default again with similar command?

Yes, you should be able to set Thunar back to default using the GUI app "Default Applications" exo-preferred-applications
Otherwise, if you prefer terminal

xdg-mime default Thunar.desktop inode/directory

I have been using Nemo as my default FM for almost as long as I have been using Zorin OS and Linux.
