the start to MATE to MATE Panel, MATE Menus, etc.
CORE APPLICATIONS
MATE has cracked down on several applications, such as GNOME Core 
Applications, and developers have written a few more applications from 
scratch. Fork applications have new names, many of them Spanish. MATE 
applications include:
Caja
In Spanish, Caja, which means “box,” is a file manager embedded in the 
GNOME Files, formerly known as Nautilus. Caja serves as a natural com-
ponent of the MATE desktop. Since the Caja, a fork has been developed 
and new features added.
Features
Caja has many functions: creating a folder and document, displaying files 
and folders, searching and managing files, and installing or extracting 
fonts. Caja can manage different types of file formats.
Caja added improvements to the latest release of MATE 1.26. Some of 
these are:
• In Caja, users can select the new Bookmarks sidebar.
• Caja received drive formatting support from the context menu.
Caja also offers many extensions such as:
• Python: caja-rename
• Python: caja-admin
