I’m kinda still shopping around for a good graphical filemanager. This is of course still very raw, but the tagging system might actually take care of the bookmark aspect, which is very important to me.

I assume that you’ve already tried KDEs dolphin? The shortcomings off your list it has that I see:
It does the rest though, is there something about it you don’t like?
Dolphin is somewhat ok-ish, exactly like you say. It’s slightly better than that gnome-thingy I’m forced to use at work, but the bookmarks aspect it important enough for me to avoid it for personal usage (where I’m free to choose).
“File commands don’t block GUI” means: If I e.g. copy a file, I want to directly use the filemanager, even while the copy is still running. I think most of the more popular file managers do this, but it is really important :)
I wish you luck finding what you need. How would you have your bookmarks, something like subfolders?
Thank you :) I’ve not been successfull really thus far. My best hope is that someone cooks up something in Rust that I can contribute to/fork to make it into what I want. One can dream ;) I use doublecmd right now, which ticks many boxes, but has some other oddities.
Yeah, so, bookmarks, I “just” need to be able to organize them, like with a folder structure (or even subfolders, but I don’t want to get greedy), and name them independently of their target. Using tags as a folder substitute is probably ok, that’s why I looked at blazepilot. I also don’t want that dreaded “places” list wasting my screen space, so maybe putting them into a menu or behind a shortcut is in order…
Do you have any experience with C++? I bet if you could tweak Dolphins Folder panel to display a certain folder instead of mirroring current location, you could then direct it to a folder (with subfolders!) with symlinks in it.
