Linux Software Recommendation: pcmanfm-qt

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I'm using MATE  DE and I was not able to drag&drop into VLC from DC,but it
is not something I ever do (or need), you can open a file by pressing ENTER
to run it with the default associated application or by pressing the menu
button on the keyboard to select a different application from the open
sub-menu.

I don't think that Double Commander was ever designed to be controlled with
a mouse.
