Is there a decent file manager with Miller columns?

I found marlin and dolphin so far. I like marlin, but it's seems quite buggy. Dolphin I like not so much. It lets me choose between single and double click to open files, but if i choose double click, this also applies to folders in columns view. Are there alternatives?

EDIT: Columns view was removed from Dolphin altogether.

But of those 14 only dolphin has miller columns as far as i see. Did I overlook something? – user50910 Mar 19 '12 at 1:18
Shouldn't this be reported as a bug in Dolphin? Miller columns should always use single click. – Alfredo Hernández Mar 21 '12 at 22:10

You can use Marlin, which is much less buggy than it was before, or Pantheon Files, which is forked from Marlin for the elementaryOS.

I just gave marlin another try, segfault after 15 seconds. I fear it still isn't ready for prime time. – user50910 Apr 5 at 0:11

Your best choice is ranger, which is terminal based.

Can you provide more information about how to install ranger (and perhaps also how to use it)? – Eliah Kagan Oct 1 '12 at 3:22
ranger is available from the Ubuntu repos since 11.10. – user50910 Apr 5 at 0:21
