Looking for a File Manager with an automatically-updated Preview Pane and Delete-to-Recycle-Bin Functionality

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi all,

in order to purge old files from the hard disk, I am looking for a file manager
with the following capabilities:

1. Should have a preview pane that gets updated automatically whenever I select
a different file. Preview of text files should be adequate, but previewing
other file formats would be a nice bonus.

2. Should be able to delete files to a recycle bin, so they can be restored
later on if I want to keep them.

3. Ability to sort based on filename, size, date, etc.

-------------------

So far I've looked at:

1. Krusader - one can press F3 to view a file in a separate window but it pops
up, and it does not get updated automatically when I select another file.

2. GNOME Commander - same problem.

3. Konqueror - preview does not get updated automatically. (probably also
Dolphin)

4. Nautilus - does not appear to have a preview.

Writing a basic file manager like that using Perl/Python/Ruby/etc. should not be
too hard, but I'm looking for prior art first.

Regards,
