➽ nemo:
* The default in Linux Mint.
* Nemo has same concepts in usage compared to Windows Explorer.
But Nemo visual appearance is similar to Mac OS X Finder.
* Nemo sidebar items are called Bookmarks
and show in their own Menu in "Places" sidebar
Add a Bookmark - 2 ways:
- navigate *into* the folder,
and then in top menu Bookmarks→Add Bookmark.
- navigate *above* the folder, and drag the folder to
Bookmarks section of sidebar.
Rename by right-click,
or go to top menu Bookmarks→Edit Bookmarks
Reorder the Bookmarks there also.
"Favorites" are a different thing and show in Tree view.

* Nemo "Tree view" is an entirely different thing than "Show Places",
not a different view of it.
* Nemo can split main window into two, maybe helpful when comparing folders -
Press Fn-F3.
* Address bar: Ctrl switches btwn
clickable breadcrumb, and normal path views.
* dot-files are hidden by default. Ctrl-H to switch show/hide.
