I found this file manager by coincedence, while searching for some information about doodle (a program similiar to locate that also looks at file metadata (ID3 tags, EXIF...)). Evidence is supposed to provide an interface to doodle, but where that interface is hidden is not clear to me yet.
This file manager is a bit schizofrenic: it has three different interfaces! (all shown in screenshot).
Installing it was a huge pain in the ***. The server that was supposed to have the .debs was empty, and I couldn't get an rpm installed with alien to work properly. So... I compiled it myself. The configure script did not check for all necessary libraries. Annoying. Anyway, I hunted down all dependencies and got it running! (Spoiled debian user, I know...)
On SuSE it should be much easier.
The program "feels" a bit unstable, not deserving a version number as high as 0.9.8, but is usable. Just don't use tree view if you want to be able to get back to one of the other two views.
I wonder what to think of this error message:

"The same.", I said, the evening's two packs registering in my voice. "Enchant�", I added drily, mostly in an attempt to clear my throat.
"Find me a file-manager that doesn't suck.", he said unceromoneously.
I grunted. "That'll cost ya.", I told him between puffs. "They don't make the likes of those anymore."
I'm sure one day there will be a file manager that does not suck, and it will be called evidence... But it's far from there now. Keep up the good work! I have to say this is a very ambitious project. I will certainly keep watching it. |

I forgot to say the handholding about entering sbin is really unnecessary.
