[Lxde-list] I'm going to release pcmanfm-qt 0.1.
From: PCMan <pcman.tw@gm...> - 2013-03-24 17:38

Hello,
The current code in git works well enough.
After some testing, I'd like to make the first public release of
PCManFM Qt port.
It will not contain thubmanil support because this requires some API
changes of upstream libfm library. In April, there should be a new
release of libfm. So it's the right time for pcmanfm-qt to have
another new release with thumbnail support.
If there are no objections, I'll make the new release soon.
Thank you.

This is not PCManFM QT 1, it's PCManFM QT 0.1.0

PCMan seems to enjoy his new toy (previous link)

I, however, need to admit that working with Qt/C++ is much more pleasant and productive than messing with C/GObject/GTK+.
Since GTK+ 3 breaks backward compatibility a lot and it becomes more memory hungry and slower, I don’t see much advantage of GTK+ now. GTK+ 2 is lighter, but it’s no longer true for GTK+ 3. Ironically, fixing all of the broken compatibility is even harder than porting to Qt in some cases (PCManFM IMO is one of them).
