# PCManFM-Qt
## Overview
PCManFM-Qt is the Qt port of PCManFM, the file manager of [LXDE](https://lxde.org).
In LXQt sessions it is in addition used to handle the desktop. Nevertheless it
can be used independently of LXQt as well.
PCManFM-Qt is licensed under the terms of the
[GPLv2](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html) or any later version. See
file LICENSE for its full text.
## Installation
### Compiling source code
Runtime dependencies are qtx11extras, lxmenu-data,
[liblxqt](https://github.com/lxqt/liblxqt) and
[libfm-qt](https://github.com/lxqt/libfm-qt).
Additional build dependencies are CMake and optionally Git to pull latest VCS
checkouts. The localization files were outsourced to repository
[lxqt-l10n](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-l10n) so the corresponding dependencies
are needed, too. Please refer to this repository's `README.md` for further information.
Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`
has to be set to `/usr` on most operating systems, depending on the way library
paths are dealt with on 64bit systems variables like `CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR` may
have to be set as well.
To build run `make`, to install `make install` which accepts variable `DESTDIR`
as usual.
### Binary packages
Official binary packages are available in Arch Linux, Debian (as of Debian stretch),
Fedora (version 0.10.0 only so far) and openSUSE (Leap 42.1 and Tumbleweed).
## Usage
The file manager functionality should be self-explanatory, handling of the
desktop deserves some notes:
To handle the desktop binary `pcmanfm-qt` has to be launched with switch
`--desktop` set. Optionally switch `--profile` can be used to safe settings
specific to certain session types like the different desktop environments.
In LXQt sessions, PCManFM-Qt is launched with theses switches set as
[LXQt Module](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-session#lxqt-modules).
To configure the desktop there's a dialogue "Desktop Preferences". Technically
it corresponds with launching `pcmanfm-qt` with switch `--desktop-pref` set. It
is available in the desktop's context menu and included as topic "Desktop" in
sub-menu Preferences - LXQt settings of the panel's main menu as well as the
[Configuration Center](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-config#configuration-center)
of lxqt-config.
All switches (command line options) mentioned above are explained in detail in
`man 1 pcmanfm-qt`.
