  • you can edit files directly with doublecmd even files need root, without leaving doublecmd edit url directories is my priority with files manager, nautilus doesnt have this
  • The program itself is quite nice. But I still had to uninstall it because it is sloppily programmed. There is order on all my systems. When I install a program, I decide where it is saved and where it is allowed to create shortcuts. Here it's like someone s***ting across my apartment instead of asking where the toilet is.
  • This is the best software so far! I gave up using Cocoatech software as they ended with a yearly subscription, I m so happy with Double Commander and all its features! Thank you very much! (using it on a mac)
  • Absolutely a must. Great features. Best free alternative to TotalCommander with some extra features as well.
  • The only real alternative to Total Commander on Mac. Actually, after using it for a few months, it's also great for Windows too. This is a must have. Great app. Lots of settings to play with.
  • ransomware warning from Avast
  • Muy bueno, permite los menús dcho que total commander no lo permite. Hecho en falta una vista con los comentarios de los archivos (ctrl+Z). El antvirus de win10 , considera este archivo de descarga peligroso y bloquea la descarga
  • It just works. Best file explorer for Windows and Unix, hotlist it perfect for power users in my filed of profession (data science and research). Tab can be customised in so many ways! It's design is rudimental but gets the job done without any fuss.
  • Use it day. The dev is always improving the tool
  • wow, super software, has everything from TC and much , much more, must have soft. TY

  • Nice. 1. When will you come out with a non-Beta version? 2. In the ABOUT dialog it is usual to add, "Check for Updates" which is missing. One has to go into the download site to compare the version offered to the current version. 3. It would be helpful when making a search to see a progress bar and a history of recent search terms.

  • Продолжительное время работал в Тотале, но с переходом на Мак столкнулся с необходимостью замены давно знакомой программы. С радостью для себя обнаружил Дабл Коммандер. Из преимуществ - кросплатформенность, работает и на Виндовс и на Мак. За это огромная благодарность. Использую теперь и на win10 , и на Mac. Однако, буквально сегодня обнаружил один недостаток: при переименовании файла\папки, использую сочетание клавиш "Shift+Л", Дабл Коммандер распознает как "Shift+Esc". Проверить смог только на предыдущей версии и на новой. Забавный баг. =))

  • If one is not a "Total Commander" user, one needs to adapt hotkeys and GUI preferences in order to use "Double commander" as an replacement for MS explorer.exe. For instance F5 hotkey acts like one of file operation action, not as "Refresh" action, there are "[..]" parentheses around each folder (parentheses can be turned off in preferences). Once initial configuration is complete, this application is very productive. It demonstrates superior speed, file listing is is blazing fast, I have never experiences such responsiveness (many times faster than "FreeCommander" and faster than MS explorer.exe). Very useful features are: 1) Directory Hotlist: Press shortcut key (F1 as an example) any time to bring menu with user defined links to user folders. The great thing is that OS or "Double Commander" environment variables or relative paths can be used for this list; 2) Existing action to copy currently full path, path or filename of the selection. Toolbar icon can be configured for this action; 3) Flexible toolbar icons: Any action can be assigned to any icon in the toolbar; 4) One can add custom buttons to the toolbar. This can be used to run batch files. I use this to launch script which will extract all the zip files in current dir and automatically deletes zip files afterwards. All this is done via single button click in the toolbar; 5) The speed; 6) Great dark mode (in development version only); 7) Grid view filelist with alternating colors of the rows (configurable); 8) Crossplatform; 9) Completely portable, no need to install. Have it in gdrive and use it in different computers with identical configuration. Only development version has great dark theme, but many bugs as well. I am using this file manager on a daily basis, as main file manager and happy with it. Five stars in overall.
  • I can't install it on Ubuntu 18 64 bit. I downloaded doublecmd-0.9.10.qt5.x86_64.tar.xz and unzipped the files.

  • Hi alexx2000 ! Super file manager, just the right portable tool for working on the command prompt - I really like Double Commander. A few small things would be to mention, but I leave, because everything can be discovered or configured so far.
  • good
  • Thanks for this awesome, matchless job, and sorry to not support you as you deserved it.
  • Exactly what I looking for. Thank You very much!
  • Thank you very much for the free open source program!
  • For anyone who regularly works with files and directories Double Commander is a dream tool. In its default state it does more and better than all the file manager tools available, including pricey commercial ones. But, it is also infinitely extensible. There are easily-available plugins but, more interestingly, the ability to extend it yourself using the deceptively named "Edit Toolbar" feature. What's more, if you are trying to achieve a certain function, through that feature or something else, there are many existing examples to use for guidance or an active user community that always seems to have at least a couple of people who readily understand what you want to do. Quite simply I love Double Commander. I work with a lot of files and directories that require repetitive simple tasks like creating links of a file in one directory to a different directory in the facing tab/panel. I can right-click and in a microsecond it's done. Other file managers require a fair bit of dancing to get the link to the other panel -- in fact it's usually faster to just do it from a command line. I can create an empty file with the filename of an existing file and excluding its file extension by clicking a simple toolbar button (So where there was "filename.ext" 10 Mb, there is also now a "filename" 0Mb). These are just two examples of simple tasks that I need repeatedly that other file managers either do not support at all or support with some grief. I use Double Commander on Kubuntu which includes its own very, very nice file manager, Dolphin. I genuinely like Dolphin, a lot. But Dolphin is just not in the same league when it comes to dual-panel operations. One example is copying or moving files from one panel to the other. Devs wrote in a public forum that drag and drop is already the solution, when a user asked about implementing a right click option. They don't understand that drag and drop is clunky when dealing with a full directory, particularly one that includes many other folders or executable files. The file manager gets confused about whether you want to copy the file to one of the other folders, or maybe try to act on the file with an executable, or whatever. They simply assume there is always some white space in the destination folder on which to click a drag and drop. But for people who work with files and folders enough to need a real file manager, that is very, very often simply not the case. Ergo the need for a right click "Copy to Other Panel" and "Move to Other Panel." My DC also has Create Link in Other Panel. Importantly, when I went looking for some help to extend things in a small way to suit my own particular work, no one decided I needed to be told that the existing ways of doing things are just fine and I should stop trying to do things differently. Bottom line is you may not always be able to achieve what you want in extending DC, but it will never be because no one thought your effort was worth a hearing. In free open source software that counts for a lot. There are a couple of things about DC that I would prefer different, but not many and not operationally important. For example, I'd prefer if there was no internal editor, not because I don't do editing but because there are quite a lot of great editors out there (I use Kate and Geany) and I'd prefer the devs devote their full attention to the file manager. Thing is, if devs want to work on an editor component, all the power to them, it's not like it actually hurts the rest of the file manager and gosh, it is their own time after all [smile]. The point is that Double Commander is simple enough for all users with the potential for complexity to whatever extent needed by specialized users. The thing that makes me so certain in recommending is DC is that when I try to think of features I might want to note as absent or something I would like to see added, instead I can only come up with a wistful thought about the best use of developer time. That's the biggest drawback I can come up with? Amusing evidence that it's a pretty solid piece of software.
  • Just love it.
