I use OpenBox and urxvt is my "file manager". (I started to dislike all available DEs for various reasons...)

What do I do?

Here we come. One more pointless question. I already answered it once, but I don't mind to repeat the explanation.
I have no idea, what is urxvt, and have no intention to find out. Does you window manager meet Open Desktop standard? If it does, you will have your "file manager".
If no, tough luck. Your configuration will not be supported.

@lfroen: Yes I know the person. I am the person

@Kry: It's noones fault, but it's a fact that this information isn't easy to find. I would prefer an option to set what is opened. default can be used when it's not set. I just try to see that from a users point of view. If this will be implemented and does what I expect, alls fine, if not, I just don't use it. There's no problem for everyone, and, if at all, just my fault, but this doesn't affect the situation.

I'm sorry, I thought that would be made clear by the smiley.

First a little explanation: urxvt is a terminal emulator, which is what I use for file operations. This might change with KDE4.1, though.

You see, there people who don't have a default file manager or want to use a different program than their default file manager. As Vollstrecker already said, use the default file manager unless specified otherwise in the preferences. Maybe use something similar to the browser selection or we'll just rework all program selection items in the preferences and use something new and more userfriendly.

I'll make a note in the bugtracker and try to have a look at it.

5. aMule behaviour in Mac OS X is too different from other Mac apps. The app completely closes when clicking the "red button" and the menus from the bar are almost unuseful.

I don't know MacOS, but the red button sounds to me like "close". If that's right: What do you expect when you click on "Close"-Button?

In OSX, when you push the red button of a window, the window closes but the application keeps running (this is indicated by a little black triangle in the dock). In P2P applications, this is a blessing (less window clutter, no icons in systray, etc.). Information can be shown in the menu that pops up when you click the app icon in the dock.

As of the menus... now the menubar is being unused. It would be fine to have the typical options of the other apps, plus some extra functions. In OSX, the menubar is used more often than the right click menu. If you like the idea, i'll post a basic OSX menu layout.
