050 Pantheon Files Install Log

A macOS-like multi-column file manager.

While reading a tutorial, I accidentally noticed macOS’s multi-column file browser is pretty handy (in certain situations).
So I looked for something similar on Linux.
I found Pantheon Files.

Install

1
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementary-os/stable
2
sudo apt update
3
sudo apt install pantheon-files

It looks roughly like this:

Config

The UI doesn’t have a place to configure options (maybe because it’s a different distro?).
I searched how to change single-click-open to double-click.

The recommended way is to use GSettings:
gsettings set io.elementary.files.preferences single-click false

If you type gsettings set io.elementary.files.preferences and then press Tab twice, you can see other options, but there aren’t many you can tweak.
