Somehow, I can't find any options to enable tree view in Lubuntu 18.10 File Manager. Would it be possible to do that? If yes, please let me know how.



If not, what is the alternative?

    I don't see Tree View as an option. So the short answer, AFAICT, is it isn't possible. If you know of a file manager you like that provides the feature, just install and use it.

    I couldn't find it either, but I'd suggest dolphin (from KDE desktop; it's Qt like LXQt) where you can select Control->Panels->Folders to have it view (tested on my Lubuntu 19.04

  • @guiverc as you point out, Dolphin, even on 18.04, does what you say. The only issue is that it pulls in "baloo"-related packages and I don't know what the effect on that will be in Lubuntu 18.10. Maybe you can ask in IRC?

    @DKBose I booted a Lubuntu 18.10 box, and dolphin was already installed [a QA-test box, I forget why I installed it, but it's a i686 lower-powered box and is fine]. It had the Control->Panels->Folders I'd mentioned earlier too.

      Another alternative is Caja from MATE DE (GNOME 2 fork).



      By default its Side Pane shows Places, but you can switch it to Tree view:



      Tree view



      You can combine Places view in side pane with List View of main panel to show directory tree:



      List view with three



      Also as free bonus you can enable Extra Pane (with F3) to combine views - for example List View in the left and Icon View in the right:



      List View + Icon View



      You can install Caja with



      sudo apt install caja

                            Another alternative is Caja from MATE DE (GNOME 2 fork).



                            By default its Side Pane shows Places, but you can switch it to Tree view:



                            Tree view



                            You can combine Places view in side pane with List View of main panel to show directory tree:



                            List view with three



                            Also as free bonus you can enable Extra Pane (with F3) to combine views - for example List View in the left and Icon View in the right:



                            List View + Icon View



                            You can install Caja with



                            sudo apt install caja
