Both OSX and Linux lack good file managers, unfortunately.
Basically the only thing i miss really much.
Compared to Total Commander (and FAR for someone) everything else feels really bleak.
P.S. For OSX i recommend CRAX Commander which trying to emulate TC with ~30% success rate :) Much worser than original but better than most alternatives
- out_of_protocol 10y agoAlso, on linux i tend to skip mc and go to console directly. Some some unknown reason using mc doesn't feel like productivity improvement at all (unlike TC)
- idobai 10y agoHave you tried nemo and mc? For me, they're far better than TC.
- sdegutis 10y ago> * Both OSX and Linux lack good file managers, unfortunately.* I can't recall a single time when I said "man I really wish Finder wasn't missing [this or that feature], I could really use that right about now."
- out_of_protocol 10y agoSee rant above about Lister. Well, technically could be external program but i was unable to find external program either. Of course there are plenty more different features not covered here
- appleflaxen 10y agocan you provide some examples of missing functionality? (I have never found thunar or dolphin lacking for anything serious, so I wonder what TC is able to do that they can't)
- out_of_protocol 10y agoHard to say in particular. There are hundreds tiny bits that affect productivity. i don't have thunar or dolphin under hand to verify, but just look at lister (TC's internal viewer). It's uber-fast (startup time, file opening time, closing time on ESC), i also can open multi-gigabyte files in an blink of an eye and also _scroll_ though them without even slowing down. same for switching encodings, searching for a text (again, good shortcuts, speed etc) Can any of the file managers (or anything) do something similar in handy manner?
