I needed a lightweight file manager for an Openbox machine. rox-filer
seemed like a decent option. But in order to look for and manage some config files, I needed the ability to quickly view their contents, so rox-filer alone wasn't enough, I needed a lightweight file editor too. Looking through the officially suggested options, I found leafpad
. I ran most of those suggestions against apt-get install --no-install-recommends
, and even with the no-recommends flag there were about 50MB of required dependencies. However, leafpad (as well as rox-filer itself) required no additional packages to be installed.
apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y rox-filer leafpad
Then go to $HOME/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/text
and put the following inside:
#!/bin/sh LEAFPAD="$(which leafpad)" "${LEAFPAD}" "$@"Then you can right click pretty much any file, then choose "File 'example'" and then "Open As Text".
