Despite all the bad in the world going on, there is good news, too. This week: A new release of my favorite file manager: #doublecommander

https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd/releases

Nemůžu si pomoct, ale příjde mi, že starší software resp. software navržený v dobách dřívějších je minimálně na Windows prostě efektivnější.

Na služební notebook s relativně čerstvou instalací Windows 11 už jsem si stihnul stáhnout XnView, protože defaultní "Fotky" se prostě nedaly. Dlouho startují a navíc nic neumí...

Dneska jsem si pro změnu stáhnul třeba takový DoubleCommander.

Jak to máte Vy? 😃

Any Windows Power Users here?

Is there any FOSS #FileManager for Windows 10 that isn't super slow and unreliable, has double panels and tabs?

I've tried #Files, #Spacedrive and #DoubleCommander but each of them either can't do basic operations without crashing or requiring me to wait a few seconds.

I thought switching from HDD to M.2 SSD will help - I did not.

#WindowsExplorer sucks - no dual view, no tabs... But all other options fig. make me want to punch the screen.

#Help!

#Windows

Useful things in #Linux lately: apt-clone, #emacs & #elisp, #rakulang, #smallbasic (github version), silver searcher (ag), htop, pal calendar, #gimp, #kolourpaint, #vlc, #doublecommander, #gambas3, #geany, and distros like #manjaro, #pclos, #almalinux, #kubuntu, and #q4os
Pictured: An old photo of my #UbuntuStudio desktop from 2009, watching "The Cat From Outer Space".
The same system ran WinXP and Win 7 inside of VMs, allowing use of Adobe software and other Windows apps.
At the time I had been using Linux full-time at my business for about 4-5 years.
Soon I would take a Linux netbook with me for working abroad (running Ubuntu's netbook distro), along with a Nokia n810 as media station. The years 2009-2012 were, in my work, the second big wave of Linux on the Desktop. It was extremely fun and I'm still trying to recapture some of the enjoyment of those days, which faded a bit with the rise of the cloud.

Ich weiß nicht wie man große Dateimengen verwalten kann, ohne #DoubleCommander

Well, there’ll be more settings that I forgot to change in the next day or two, but the basic setup works. #Gigolo, #InputRemapper, #CopyQ, #VMG, #KDEKate, #DoubleCommander, and #Vivaldi all installed and configured. Weird new quirk in Kate text editor, where the last display line on screen sometimes gets the bottom part of a line of text that scrolled by stuck to it. And the white line I use as a highlight doesn’t override or fix it, though flipping to another tab and back does. (And I can’t do a screenshot, because that redraws the screen and fixes it.) Same version of Kate.

@omgubuntu     #DoubleCommander comes out with #AppImage snapshots about twice a week. Installed 1.1.0~10806 a few hours ago.

@saluki     I’ve never had any trouble using #DoubleCommander in #AppImage form. I use it as my daily #FileManager. It’s always open on #workspace two. I’ve tried the same with my #TextEditor, #KDEKate (my always-open #desktop one app), since the AppImage version is newer than the #LinuxMint repo version, but that didn’t work out.

The repository version of the editor has a chrome quirk. I run apps in #DarkMode, but repo Kate starts with one tab dark, but other tabs (as well as menu bar and status bar) light. I found that defining system hotkeys for “increase text size” and “decrease text size” and then doing an inc with Alt+Super+] (and dec with Alt+Super+[) fixes everything to uniform dark mode.

The AppImage version handles chrome well, but spellcheck doesn’t work. In #Flatpak Kate, chrome and spellcheck work, but sessions don’t. So I go with the version where everything works, with a nudge.

Erst jetzt gesehen das es für den #TotalCommander ein #Repo für #FDroid gibt. Nachdem #Google ja #Ghisler ermahnt hatte, keine #apk mehr installieren zu können, habe ich ihn ausgetauscht.
Da aber die Repo Version davon nicht betroffen ist, hab ich ihn gleich per #Droidify installiert.
Habe #TC gern unter #Windows genutzt, da es ihn aber nicht für #Linux gibt, bin ich zu #DoubleCommander gewechselt, um die gleiche Oberfläche zu haben.

@inzaghi89 Używam #DoubleCommander-a od lat. Jedyne co mnie wkurzało, to słaby preview pod F3. Poza tym spoko. Może daj mu jeszcze raz szansę?

Ciekawostka: DC jest napisany we #FreePascal-u a konkretnie takim otwartym #Delphi czyli #Lazarus.

A z innej beczki: #Dolphin z #KDE przekonał mnie do jedno-okiennych menedżerów plików. I tak coraz rzadziej teraz odpalam DC.

@natenom #MidnightCommander ist da ja schon die "professionelle" Wahl :-)
Ich verwende meist #DoubleCommander für solche Aufgaben, sowohl unter #Linux als auch #Windows.
