Mr
First: sorry for not reading all the comments, so maybe it is possible this question is double
I am just a user, not software engineer, and I recently stumbled over vifm and still looking and making familiar with it, but it seems to be a light and -good to handle- file manager.
What I didn't find till now: is there any function to change more than one filename at once (e. g. with ascending numbers?
example holiday photos: 100 pics on card and I want to change the automatic (number-)filename in name001, name002. name100

I lose terminal transparency in vifm, any idea how to fix it? Thanks
EDIT: It works on my laptop w/ dwm + compton. Not on my desktop with xfce, I also tried another terminal + compton and it didn't work either. Weird, sounds like an xfce issue.
EDIT2: Fixed in the colors section, changing ctermbg=black to ctermbg=none in the Win highlight section. It isn't set to that on my laptop and gets transparency, so that's odd lol oh well.

Hi -DistroTube - Love VIFM, but I have one thing I can't figure out. How do I open an entire folder in VLC?
VLC is set as default player for MP4 files, but I want to open a folder full of mp4s so VLC puts it in the playlist. Like when you drag and drop a folder into VLC.
Any idea how to do that?

normally I prefer to just use normal terminal for file management and navigation, -but vifm seems perfect for navigating and sorting my small audio files for my music sampler.
Just add -fileviewer -. wav aplay- to the config file, and press -C when you want to interrupt a long audio file.

When you add or delete marks with: marks, it only affects the -/. config/vifm/vifminfo file, which is why you were having that problem. You'll need to remove it from your vifmrc file if you really want it gone for good. (and then maybe again from: marks)

I know this is a year old but I LOVE VIFM. I was using Ranger as my previous favorite and I tried MC but the speed of VIFM can't be beat.
Just wish you covered how easy it is to change file permissions and group/owner too. Those are useful.

Very, very nice for Vim users. One thing I'm curious about is that what does the search command -/- and the substitute ex-command -: s- do in Vifm?
Using almost-Perl-like regex in a file manager would be very nice indeed.

Hi DT
Indeed vifm is a great file manager.
FYI in xfce if one maps nnoremap o: !thunar %f & then you can open any file with its default application.
This optimizes the vifmrc a great deal.
