The LXQt project is steadily developed. While the image viewer lximage-qt just got some polishing lately, the Qt port of PCManFM file manager also reaches a quite usable state.

Some notable changes are:

Add dir tree to the side pane

Improved file popup menu

Able to open the selected files with arbitrary apps

Improved handling when trying to open an executable file.

Improved statusbar info

Many bug fixes

Though we don’t have a stable release yet, basically the feature set of the Qt port is quite close to the earlier 1.0 version of the gtk+ version. Users interested to the project are encouraged to test the latest code in our git repo. Patches are always welcomed! 🙂

Here is a guide for building lxqt components from git.
