Even then modifying any restricted OS files is just one simple terminal text command: sudo nemo One great Linux security features is that the user hardly ever needs to be logged on as root or administrator. The Microsoft file manager USED to be the gold standard until they monetized even local searches.
In Linux most file managers are crippled as if developed in a high school class project. Or does it force telling the whole world? (why I quit using Windows 8 years ago). No as my file manager has BOOKMARKS for local and network locations.ĭoes the file manager have a NETWORK selection below the My Computer? I must be able to easily access and search network files just as easily as if they were local.ĭoes the file manager keep your local searches local? So do I need to remember (or write down) the directories where the OS stores its settings? The tool takes over the real task.Įveryone else realizes that a good GUI is just about as effective IF the developers implement all the options with selections, check-boxes and knobs. One of the job security traits of a Linux Guru is only they can remember long complicated text commands. It may not be as powerful as Total Commander, but it works pretty, is open source, and available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Closing Wordsįile Commander is not available in portable form.
The other hotkeys are for copying, moving, creating a new folder and deleting a selected item. It will load the image in Paint, ready to edit. you can set MSPaint.exe as an editor, and use the F4 key in File Commander. You can set your own editors for different formats from the options. The document viewer also serves as an edito, and supports ASCII, UTF, RTF and HTML encoding. TXT, HTML, JPG, PNG, etc and hit the F3 key to view the file using the built in viewer. To use these, select a supported format, e.g. There are three plugins included in File Commander: a file comparison tool which I mentioned earlier, an image viewer and a text/HTML viewer. Right-click anywhere inside the panes to access the default context menu that is available in Explorer. The application uses the following columns: name, extension, size, and date of each item. If you are running Windows 10, don’t wait.ĭo you use alternative file managers? If so, let us know in the comments.File Commander has dual panes, one on either side, which you can use to copy or move files and folders from one location to another comfortably. I did try the experimental options and found them to make the mouse a little glitchy but with no major problems. There are more things to talk about but trying it will help you understand it better than I can explain.
Choose your Color – Personally, I like the way the light and dark selections affect the entire color choices in the next selection “Custom themes”.Clicking on Settings opens a smooth layout with simple, well-defined choices. Like Windows, it has a remarkably similar “Gear” icon in the upper right corner to open Settings. But I found them very intuitive, making them easy to set. Like any new toy, adjustments need to be made. They not only offered tabs but a host of other features like file or folder comparisons, duplicate searches, and much more and are downloadable from the Windows store.Įxplorer ++ is another great option that uses tabs in a much more effective way and is worth downloading like the Commander series for comparisons if nothing else. Using the code from Norton Commander, Free Commander and Double Commander were developed and have been around for a long time. If you are one of those users who find tabs to be a fantastic addition (think how you use tabs in your browser every day) this latest version will be a blessing. A tab feature is something that Windows users have been begging to include in File Explorer for years, but Microsoft (MS) has dragged its feet since XP. It is available to test with builds later than 22572. Windows has already announced they will be releasing File Explorer with a Tabs feature in an upcoming build as soon as next month.
