Why Can't I Find bl-file-manager.bin?

I really need to find it,  Don't ask why.

In a terminal, try the whereis command

whereis bl-file-manager-bin

What version of BL are you using?

You have it spelled correctly?

Re: Why Can't I Find bl-file-manager.bin?

I did.

solved the issue by copying the version on the Carbon live session over to my home directory and then moving it into /usr/bin using root mode in xfe

The reason I lost it is because I was trying to add the xfe.1.gz manual file, kept failing and clicked on the remove button in the G Alt toolbar thinking it would only remove the xfe entry under bl-file0manager allowing me to start again.  Not the whole category plus executable

And I still can't add /usr/local/share/man/man1/xfe.1.gz

Re: Why Can't I Find bl-file-manager.bin?

What file did you copy?

I'm running the live session for BL carbon now. bl-file-manager is located in /usr/bin and it's a symlink to /etc/alternatives/bl-file-manager. By the default, /etc/alternatives/bl-file-manager is a symlink to /usr/bin/thunar.

If you want xfe as your default file manager, use the BL menu: System Settings -> Edit Debian Alternatives

A nice gui for changing Debian alternatives will come up. If xfe was installed with apt, it should be an option you can select. Should also set the man page.

I managed to add xfe but for some reason I can't add the man file (despite converting it to a .gz).  And in case you might think it's something to do with the xfe man file, I can't add the man files for Thunar or PCManFM either.
