I am sure a lot of the new users can manage Midnight Commander, and I have no issue with regard to using a non "frementalized" application utilizing the stylus for navigation. An optimized version is always welcome. But having a quick alternative for the time being is necessary as well.

Yes I am aware that MC is console based and doesn't require fremantalizing. I was talking about emelfm2 not being fremantalized yet, as in not optimized for the fremantle GUI guidelines (Hildon 2.2).

Maybe one of the file managers Thunar or PCManFM may be good to be ported.. Respectively file managers of XFCE and LXDE, they look to have a clean interface (not too busy with too many icons and parts), and are light.
They're both GTK anyway, maybe something in QT is better for future compatibility?
Just as a suggestion anyway, I cannot help, and my knowledge is very limited.

Ok, look at using emelfm2 on the N900 like this... I never use it in fullscreen mode on my N810, therefore, using it in fullscreen on the N900 would make it approximately the same size as using it now, non fullscreen
