Is it possible to set PCmanFM to start with dual pane configuration. Alternatively to start with layout were you left off.

It is easy enough to set-up. Be sure
xdotool is installed:
sudo apt-get install xdotool. Then use your text editor to create the following bash script:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
pcmanfm &
sleep 1
xdotool key "F3" &
xdotool click "1" &
exit0
Save this file as
pcmanfm-dp.sh. Put it in
/usr/local/bin (on the path), and make sure it is executable:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/pcmanfm-dp.sh. Finish by putting
pcmanfm.sh in your autostart file. For general information on pcmanfm and openbox, see
