« on: February 02, 2011, 07:49:16 AM »
so installed amiwm and it looks nifty except.. maybe Im stupid or missed something obvious, but I can't seem to actually find any of my damn files, folders etc.

So.. a little help here? :)

Help with what? amiwm is a basic window manager and nothing else, thus it does not include a file browser. Everything is like it is supposed to be. If you need a graphical file browser, install and run a graphical file browser of your choice.


ah okay, that explains my confusion then. All good from here :)

yeah, I had to spend a fair bit of time poking around to get it to do anything.

If you create a configuration file, you can have things appear in the Tools menu, so thats nice.

Sadly, a lot of the workbench commands are not actually working, so thats too bad :)

Browsing the web with Chrome in fake workbench is pretty rad :)


It doesn't play nice with the menu's of Empathy, so I'll have to poke around for an alternative here.

Worker is pretty awesome. Trying to find a set of apps that look "old school" to use with amiwm :)
