Double Commander is an open source multi-platform two-panel orthodox file manager that is inspired by the Microsoft Windows-only Total Commander.[3]

Features

  • Compare and synchronize directories symmetrically or asymmetrically

This feature is one that can be very useful. It shows files by directory and sub-directory. It compares them by date/time stamp and by file size. One can focus on files that are different, or ones that are identical.

  • Two similar panes

Panes can be duplicated from one side to the other. Panes can represent original directories compared to copied or backed-up ones. These can then be matched in more detail in the synchronize directory feature.

  • Tabbed navigation

Tabs are for directories. Sets of tabs can be saved to files that can be reloaded to produce the same two panels and their tabs that one set up and saved. Tabs can be configured to allow no changes to them, or to open sub-directories in new tabs, so that the original tab remains intact and available.

  • Brief, full and thumbnail view
  • Several sort options
