Known Bugs and Limitations

You can report or view GNOME Commander bugs at gitlab.gnome.org.

Some words about bugs: Though GNOME Commander is relatively free from bugs and is a quite mature program, no programs will ever be totally bug free. New bugs can be introduced with new features, or through other programs and libraries it depends on, this goes especially for development and testing versions. Quality bug reporting is very important and can be a very good help for the developers to make a better program. Bug reporting is not an act of dissatisfaction, so you are very welcome to help us find, hunt down and kill the bugs. Testing of the new releases and bug reporting is the best way users without programming knowledge can help out in the development of a program, and those with programming knowledge are very welcome to suggest fixes and/or send patches to the developers, all in the spirit of free and open source software.

Known limitation:

  • GNOME Commander is still lacking on GVFS/GIO support. Instead it uses GnomeVFS.

  • Configuration of default application depending on the files MIME type is broken and was finally removed in v1.4. See section Handling MIME types for more information.

Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.
