| + | Tabbed Browsing | Opens folders in reorderable tabs that can be detached into new windows or dragged into other windows, allowing users to keep several locations open in one window and rearrange them with the mouse. |
|---|---|---|
| + | Split View | Shows two folder views side by side in one window, allowing users to work with two locations at the same time. |
| + | View Modes | Offers icon, thumbnail, compact, and detailed list views, so each folder can be displayed in the layout that best suits its contents. |
| + | Per-Folder Settings | Preserves sorting, hidden-item visibility, and view mode for individual folders, optionally recursing into sub-folders, so folders such as photo collections always open in a suitable layout. |
| + | Desktop Management | Draws wallpaper and desktop icons when launched with the –desktop option, so it can act as the desktop layer in LXQt or under any other desktop environment. |
| + | Wayland Desktop | Renders the desktop module through layer-shell-qt on Wayland compositors that implement the layer shell protocol, allowing wallpaper and desktop icons to work in Wayland sessions. |
| + | Multi-Monitor Wallpaper | Applies separate wallpapers to each screen and supports a wallpaper slide show, allowing every display to carry its own background. |
| + | Bulk Renaming | Renames selected files using a numbered pattern or string replacement while preserving extensions, removing the need for a separate rename prompt per file. |
| + | Filter Bar | Filters items as the user types inside the main view, using a transient bar that appears on the first keystroke, allowing quick narrowing of large folders without leaving the keyboard. |

Notes
- PCManFM-Qt is the Qt port continuation of PCManFM, the file manager of LXDE; the GTK-based PCManFM is a separate application.
- The desktop (wallpaper and icons) is handled only when the binary is launched with the –desktop option; it can be used outside LXQt.
- Distributions may ship older package versions, and bugs in older packages should be reported to the distribution’s tracker: Binary packages
