I know this has been proposed and rejected in the past, but I know there is a serious need and desire for total commander on mac and linux operating systems.
Total Commander is a file manager for Windows with a dual directory browser. It shows two folders side by side, which makes it easy to copy and movie files between them. This program can be used to open and extract data from various archive formats including ZIP, 7ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB, and A.
Approved by Christian Ghisler as Total Commander for Mac: Free Apple file manager. Commander One is packed full with most important features for perfect Mac file management. No matter if you are a professional user or just finding your way to becoming a pro in fully controlling your documents — Commander One is your all-in-one solution.
I have recently made the switch to mac, and for the most part I am very happy. I love the Operating system, and even more so, I love the hardware. However, I miss Total Commander. As a result, I have tried the following:
Disk Order Pathfinder ForkLift Double Commander muCommander Konqueror xFolders
Out of those the only solid alternative at the moment is muCommander. The Double Commander is a grate little clone of Total Commander, but the development on it is so painfully slow, and at the moment it's just much too buggy. However, I did notice that Double Commander can be compiled cross-platform due to it's use of Free Pascal toolkits. Total Commander is written in Delphi 2, which is a derivative of Pascal. Also, there are frameworks available for Delphi to also make it cross compilable. As a result, I was wondering if Ghisler might be interested in perhaps cooperating with another developer, perhaps some one skilled in OSX and Linux coding, to port the Total Commander first to a crosscompilable framework, and then to OSX and Linux. The Linux side of things would not be very profitable, as Linux users in general do not like paying for software. (just and idological thing, not because they are deadbeats, I am a linux user my self) However, OSX side might in fact be very, very profitable for Ghisler and company. First, because all OSX users would be new customers, not old customers simple downloading updates for free. Second, in general Mac Users are just more likely to actually pay for software. Any thoughts? I know it's not easy to crosscompile apps for 3 operating systems, but I also think that it would be profitable and beneficial to the world.Dear all, I am disappointed that there is no Mac version of total commander, which I have depended on for at least a decade now on my PCs. However, I thought I had the problem solved when this week I installed an IMac which has the capability of running a windows environment (I use VMWare Fusion) in parallel to the Mac.
Total Commander Mac Download
I am just transferring my files from the PC to the mac with an external hard drive but it seems that total commander will not see the files, perhaps until I load them with a shared directory using the Mac 'finder'. Using the Window window (sounds redundant, eh?) Total commander sees a lot of the files on the system, just not the external drive. Does anyone know a way to make them visible to Total Commander?
