Windows File Explorer is the best in terms of features, most Linux File managers lack basic functionality.

If someone dares to point that on redit they get “Then go use windows” (Linux is not a religion). or it’s opensource go do it yourself.

Is there a File Manager project that would like to implement features, there are many projects that allow feature request but don’t act on it.

I got many ideas.

    Windows file explorer lacked tabs when dolphin had them for a decade or so and its still not even close to even the top of file managers. Also its terrible slow, unreliable, crashes often and has 4 different UIs baked in.

    Do some plugins for Dolphin, I feel like they are neat because a) other devs that want to implement a function now have a blueprint for it b) with downloads/stars metric that these add-on stores provide you get a good idea of what the community actually wants.

      What now, Dolphin too?

      I use Thunar. It got context-dependent “custom actions” for the context menu.
