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.
The only open-source file manager with flat view. I don't need to say more.
Good. Just one small issue, it has no space for too many files when viewing in columns view, and this can be bypassed by using briefs view. For example impossible to generate new text file when columns view file list is full, because no space to click right click on empty space. Probably can be fixed with some customization.
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.
