Dired is a inbuilt File Manager for Emacs. Its arguably the best file manager with the functionality it possesses. Unlike any other file mangers the directory listing is just as an another buffer of Emacs with dired-mode as Major Mode.
Usage
Dired has countless functionality.
- [C-x d] (or M-x dired)
- ask for a directory and puts you into a buffer with direct listing of that directory.
- [C-x C-j] (or M-x dired-jump)
- jump to a dired buffer corresponding to the current buffer (This require loading Dired Extra).
In the minibuffer, while doing 'Find File':
- [C-d]
- jump to a dired buffer corresponding to the directory in the minibuffer.

- [ RET]
- Open the file/Directory
- [ q]

- [C]
- Copy file
- [R]
- Rename file
- [D]
- Delete file
- [+]
- create a new dir

[u]

[U]

View image thumbnails
Viewing images is a builtin feature of Dired (press Enter or v on an image file). On Emacs24.4, pressing n and p will show the next or previous image file. But if you want to navigate between image thumbnails, use the (builtin too) image-dired. You can directly call it with M-x image-dired, or mark the images you want to look at in the dired buffer (with m) and then type C-t d (image-dired-display-thumbs).
