I used it, but it wouldn't work on vista for some reason.<br><br>My brother uses Total Commander a lot (because Vista's explorer is just... ok, this is a family mailing list...) so I suggested it. Back then it crashed with Access Violation, so he didn't use it. I did, but I am truely a console man...<br>

Subject: Anybody tried Double Commander yet?<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
<a href="http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/</a><br>
<br>
I found this project some time back, compiled it, tried it and forgot<br>
about it. Then a few weeks back I got another svn update and compiled<br>
and tried it again. =C2=A0I was very impressed.<br>
<br>
Double Commander is a mix between the highly acclaimed Total Commander<br>
(windows only product) and Midnight Commander (*nix console based file<br>
manager). It has the best features of both file managers mixed<br>
together. I'm a long standing user of Total Commander and think it's<br>
the best thing since slided bread. But lately my computers harder ever<br>
see the Windows OS and Total Commander just doesn't feel at home under<br>
WINE (even though it runs perfectly). So under Linux I mostly use<br>
Midnight Commander - it's practically in my "auto startup" category of<br>
apps.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I am not part of the Double Commander project, but thought I<br>
would mention it here to you folks. It's created with Lazarus and has<br>
some truly amazing features. It can even make use of the Total<br>
Commander plugins (how cool is that). It also has some nice config<br>
options like custom panel file layouts, lockable tabs, is quite<br>
responsive (it's amazing how many file managers fail this point), has<br>
nice keyboard support etc.. Well worth a try!<br>
<br>
It has a rather large development (library and package) dependency,<br>
but overall not too difficult to setup for a successful compile. The<br>
benefit is that (at least under Linux) it has some good features<br>
built-in that uses native Linux technologies - something that is<br>
rather nice to see for a change.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I thought I would mention this project for others to try. I<br>
don't really here much about this project which is a bit of a shame<br>
considering it's pretty damn good. AND it's built with Free Pascal and<br>
Lazarus! :-)<br>
<br>
