I use Krusader for similar purposes. It is like a GUI version of Midnight Commander (mc). If needed just open multiple instances. When performing actions within one instance you can do almost everything purely by keyboard, which is great (to me) and speeds up things as well. No need to grab the mouse all the time. HTH Grx HdV
