Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-12-16 10:38:45 UTC 
Old slot of unmaintained x11-libs/fox.  Last touched in 2015, pending bump since. 
 x11-misc/xfe is the only revdep.

I occasionally use xfe; is there an alternative LIGHTWEIGHT file manager that supports being a drag-and-drop source?  See also bug 703088 comment 6.
Comment 3 mats 2019-12-27 13:09:26 UTC 
Add my vote for saving xfe. It is the only ligthweigt filemanager that works as i want it.
Comment 4 Stephen Freeman 2019-12-27 16:12:08 UTC 
I hate to drop another me-too, but I have used xfe almost daily for years along with its integrated text editor (xfw) and also its image viewer (xfi) for verifying good scanned documents.  These are simple and lightweight tools that I would hate to lose.
