Nao, a UNIX file manager, offers great power, flexibility, and configurability. It has been built with the FOX toolkit and can be customized as per the requirement.
One of the best features of Nao is its two-panel view and single-panel view support. Configuration is graphical, which means you don't have to look at configuration files, although this is possible as the configuration files are written in XML.
The software has a powerful file recognition system that allows you to configure how different file types are displayed with colors and icons, and what happens when you double-click on them. Nao also has an option for automatic configutation after the first run.
Nao has an internal support for most file operations including copy, move, rename, make directory, and many others. The program runs long operations, like copying or moving, in a separated thread, so you can continue using the program while this process is on-going.
This open-source software is available under the GNU General Public License. Its extensibility feature allows you to download and install new plugins easily from the configuration menu in the program. You can add virtual file system plugins that support file systems like FTP, SFTP, and compressed files, and use them like local files.
Nao also has command plugins that contain new commands with graphical user interface. It has drag and drop support that is compatible with KDE and GNOME applications. The software is very fast and has thumbnails support, copy and paste feature, and comfortable moving through directories.
It supports three icons display modes: big icons, small icons, and details. You can add new commands or change existing ones, and set hotkeys for all available operations.
In the latest release, Nao has internationalization with translations for English, Polish, and German. It has enhanced support for UTF-8 and other charsets, support for large files, and more precise display of file size. It also has an automounting feature for CDROMs and other removable devices.
