   I have settled on denim.

     Understood.   And I appreciate that it has taken a lot of thought and 
hard

   zgv has a file-finder front-end (with thumbnails) that is user friendly.
As a "helper" application, say, for a browser (links) or a file manager 
(emelfm), 
xli may be a better choice.

    Is it now ?    :)

    I have just downloaded mc and zgv+library from the BL1 website, and I 
will see if they 
install happily in BL3.

   Probably a good choice.
