There is no desktop shell or file manager in any of the betas so far, am I missing something obvious?

Asked by idumych

I have tried the builds released so far and this is amazing work. However, I notice there is no file browser running. There is one in the menu, but clicking it does nothing. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something here.

Hi

There's a problem with the default file manager (Thunar). Until this is fixed you can use Xfe File Manager.

Here's how you can enable Xfe as your default file manager:

1. In Xfce menu, select "Settings" tab and then start "Preferred Applications"

2. In Preferred Applications dialog, select "Utilities" tab and then switch the file manager to Xfe File Manager.

Best regards
