Is there anyone out there who uses Rox as their main file managers? I feel I'm not using Rox to maximum benefit. I love it's simplicity but feel that there is greater power etc.. Waiting for me to take advantage of.

I watched run with the dolphin's videos along with some other ones on YouTube but would really like to hear back from Antix users who use this little gem of a file manager.

Greetings, rmcellig. I have no great expertise to share, but I can point you toward Puppy, which uses Rox almost exclusively. One interesting thing is that the Rox pinboard supports desktop graphics in conjunction with JWM. - Eric

Not an expert, and I much prefer spacefm file manager over rox-filer, but I've read pages detailing the history of Rox (desktop, filer, 0install)
and I would encourage you to do the same. Several tutorials hosted on youtube; viewing those may be helpful (beyond just reading).

Rox desktop provides a drag-centric paradigm and the rox-filer enables you to setup custom launchers(?) batchfiles(?) (.Appdir files) so that
specified action(s) will occur each time you open, or drag into, a given directory.
