Switched from Total Commander to FreeCommander to Double Commander. If you worked with either one of these, you'll be instantly familiar with Double Commander.
For me, it's a must have tool. Cannot work without it. Explorer doesn't come even close to functionality offered by these file manager tools.
I used to work with it, but Windows11 refuses to install it, since it is a program from an unknown source?
So far, that of the open-source there are no worthy alternatives
A good dual-pane file manager, a bit slow I agree, but it has nice file comparison and advanced search features.
I can see the appeal, but, for casual users, Double Commander is incredibly complicated to navigate. A great project, but not for me.
Today's accessibility demands that we focus on ease of use, and Double Commander is a file manager that meets all of our needs. It makes basic file management concise, easy, and fast using the keyboard. You can easily use the arrow keys and a single F-function key to accomplish all basic file management tasks, even if you don't need more than one combination. And with the flexibility of plugins, you can extend the personalization of Double Commander even further. And it's still free and open source.
