What is an Ubuntu file manager that remembers what directories were open?

Question

On windows I use xplorer2, which is a great dual-pane, multi-tab, file manager that, when you open it, opens with the same tabs and panes open as when you closed it, at the same directories.

I am looking for a file manager for Ubuntu that does that, or can be configured to do that, but so far cannot find one. However I'm pretty sure I remember having been able to configure a linux file manager to do that in the past.

I have tried Nautilus, Nemo, PCmanFM and mc, with no luck.

Does anybody know of a linux file manager that can do that - preferably with multi-tab and bookmarking capability?

Thank You

Try SpaceFM.

sudo apt-get install spacefm

It automatically remembers your last directories by default and can have up to 4 panels at a time.

Double Commander is a cross-platform dual-pane file manager inspired by Total Commander, and each pane can accommodate an unlimited number of tabs.
