From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What Linux File Manager project would be interested in adding more features ? (lemmy.ml)

Windows File Explorer is the best in terms of features, most Linux File managers lack basic functionality.

If someone dares to point that on redit they get "Then go use windows" (Linux is not a religion). or it's opensource go do it yourself.

Is there a File Manager project that would like to implement features, there are many projects that allow feature request but don't act on it.

I got many ideas.

Frankly: You come across less as "I am missing these features in many Linux file managers" and more like "I tried the default filemanager of my Linux distro and am angry the UX isn't identical to that of Windows". That's not going to garner you much sympathy. Of the things you listed, I'd only consider a "preview" pane (that I'd rather not have, because of the security implications of having a separate potentially vulnerable parser that may receive less dev attention when issues are found) and maybe a "recent panel" (Not sure what one needs that for, I'd rather my system not track my actions so blatantly easy to find) actual features, and, yeah, quite a few Linux file managers can do something like those, obviously.
