Feel free to recommend it. :-). I've now tried it and one major problem I
found for my primary use case is that after I drag a file to VLC, the
scroll-view in the pane/tab from where the file was scrolled gets set to
place the (highlighted) entry of the file at the bottom. I'm using
doublecmd-qt-0.6.5-1.mga6 on Mageia Linux x86-64 v6 - can you reproduce
this problem?

Regards and Chag Sameach,
