    It's not like moderate new Directory Opus (year 2000+) at all. It's more like Finder.

    It has features that are only in the $89 AUD version of Directory Opus like flat file view and full customization of the toolbar. I bought the $49 AUD Directory Opus Light version and prefer to use Double Commander.

    OneCommander is quite powerful and looks like it's the best alternative to DOpus because it's focusing in efficiency rather than appearance, it's not eye candy as the other good alternatives and instead prefers more direct approach to organize and manage files.
