    So far closest to Powerdesk Pro. Time will tell. A revue left by someone else says: PowerDesk allows two double column panels either vertically or horizontally with dragging and dropping between all four columns. Total Commander is not even remotely similar. This may have been true when this revue was written in 21. However I found 2024 version does allow It to be split into 4 panes as in PowerDesk Pro

    I don't like total commander as an alternative to PowerDesk as the two are nothing alike, opening a folder in a pane in PowerDesk shows the contents in a second column of that pane, this action in total commander just opens the folder the same explorer does. PowerDesk allows two double column panels either vertically or horizontally with dragging and dropping between all four columns. Total Commander is not even remotely similar.
