What about Clifm (https://github.com/leo-arch/clifm)? It’s a completely different approach to CLI file managers.

It looks like you just swapped the year 2023 in the heading with 2024 and did not even re-test the file managers / upgrade the content. Very disappointing.

E.g Thunar 4.18 as well has all the features described in the bullet-list of dolphin. (image preview, Path Breadcrumbs, 3 view modes, split view, shortcuts, undo/redo, tabs, sorting).

Like this, it is a waste of time to read the details you wrote for each FM. Only a simple list without details would be better / less confusing.

For a meaningful comparison, a giant table would be required, on which each single feature could be checked/unchecked for each FM. (Similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_managers … though as well that one is rather outdated) Each of that table should not only have the FM name, but as well the version which was tested.

As well, a separate table for console and GUI based file managers would make a lot of sense.
