Subject: Anybody tried Double Commander yet?

Hi,

http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/

I found this project some time back, compiled it, tried it and forgot about it. Then a few weeks back I got another svn update and compiled and tried it again. =C2=A0I was very impressed.

Double Commander is a mix between the highly acclaimed Total Commander (windows only product) and Midnight Commander (*nix console based file manager). It has the best features of both file managers mixed together. I'm a long standing user of Total Commander and think it's the best thing since slided bread. But lately my computers harder ever see the Windows OS and Total Commander just doesn't feel at home under WINE (even though it runs perfectly). So under Linux I mostly use Midnight Commander - it's practically in my "auto startup" category of apps.

Anyway, I am not part of the Double Commander project, but thought I would mention it here to you folks. It's created with Lazarus and has some truly amazing features. It can even make use of the Total Commander plugins (how cool is that). It also has some nice config options like custom panel file layouts, lockable tabs, is quite responsive (it's amazing how many file managers fail this point), has nice keyboard support etc.. Well worth a try!

It has a rather large development (library and package) dependency, but overall not too difficult to setup for a successful compile. The benefit is that (at least under Linux) it has some good features built-in that uses native Linux technologies - something that is rather nice to see for a change.

Anyway, I thought I would mention this project for others to try. I don't really here much about this project which is a bit of a shame considering it's pretty damn good. AND it's built with Free Pascal and Lazarus! :-)

I used it, but it wouldn't work on vista for some reason.

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...
