I never used pc clones when I was a kid. It was an Amiga for me, and in my world Directory Opus was king. It still is on my windows pcs these days. Great software and still actively developed.
Come to think of it, I no longer recall what Windows Explorer actually looks like.
- TomDavey 5y agoYes, Directory Opus is outstanding. I'm an Emacs fanboy to an intense degree, but I've never bothered to learn Dired. Directory Opus, although mouse-driven, is simply too powerful. What is this Windows Explorer of which you speak?
- lordgrenville 5y agoHa, I'm the opposite - not a hardcore Emacs user but I use dired whenever I can. wdired-mode is such an intuitive way to do bulk renaming.
- opan 5y agoFor bulk-renaming, I love ranger's :bulkrename command, which I think calls out to an external program, vidir or something. It opens the list of files in vim where it becomes very fast to do edits to them. Easy copy/paste, flipping between upper and lowercase, etc. You can do the same edits on multiple lines using visual mode. It all works how you'd expect if you know vim.
- runstop 5y agoCheckout Worker if you want something like DO for X. It's very fast and very configurable! http://www.boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/ http://www.boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/
