How to enable PCManFM - a fine file manager that shows thumbnails for videos (and maybe images)

apt install pcmanfm tumbler ffmpegthumbnailer

Prevent alt-Mouse from moving Windows around.

Open the file /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal with a text editor like Geany and put the line <MoveMode mask="CS"></MoveMode> just before the final </JWM> tag. Save the file and then in a console run jwm -restart

Here's a tip for pcmanfm in Bookworm-10.0.7.

If you want pcmanfm to show removable devices in the left pane, be able to mount/unmount/automount, simply install gvfs from the synaptic package manager.

Seems to be working fine for me. I don't know if it possibly breaks any other mounting schemes in bookworm. Doesn't seem to though, pmount is working fine.

EDIT 1: let's clarify, that if you mount a drive with pmount, then boot pcmanfm, pcmanfm will NOT see the drive, but if you unmount the drive with pmount, then pcmanfm will see the drive again.

Hmmm.... maybe that's been discussed before. I will search for it.

EDIT 2: Yes gvfs and pupvolume monitor on the same system has been discussed here: viewtopic.php?p=125787#p125787

Looks like it might not be a good idea.
