![]() You can code smart to avoid many big objects in memory, but you NEVER EVER can have less memory usage as standard say win32 api application. It is all left on Garbage Collector to collect unused objects, and thought you can 'call' it sometimes to do its work it is not the right way to programm. To memory problem, in JAVA/.NET you CAN'T release memory deterministic way in your code. TO MU COMMANDER: Still early in developement, but I think features will come more and more once this version will go final, and at the end of the year we can expect there will be no need for Midnight Commander nor any other file-manager anymore that could stand this MU COMMANDER (in windows I'll stick with TC). If you've used windows AND linux, you know you've badly missed good file manager. THE ONLY APPLICATION of its kind for linux. NET), so it the end it is MULTIPLATFORM!įinally for me to run some File manager that isn't a 'try to be some copy of MC' and whos development is NORMAL and has FUTURE! Not like others I've messed with all those years. This one isn't Total Commander, I know, but the language it is written in is really progressive one (java) and the technology used is excellent and new (java 1.5 is recommended, although I prefer. MAC OSX ? Even worse! Finder? What a joke app? Yes we have spotlight so runing an app isn't a problem, but there ISN'T a REAL file-manager!Īnyone who ever used Total Commander on windows will understand (the power of it goes beyond this review and our galaxy). There is just this old joke Midnight Commander (and its fanatics), and long time starving project KDE Crusader, which just look silly for the time it is in developement.ĭefault KDE Conqueror or Gnome manager aren't the appz we can even think about comparing here (with TC in mind). Really! (you don't need it THAT much as in windows, but is handy). In windows world, we are saved because there is Total Commander, and honestly, there isn't a ONE app that can stand near it (although it is badly written in archaic Pascal Lang., its long time tested and works) And there's hundreds of other clones.īut in Linux, there isn't such thing as file manager. I've been waiting a long time for such project, even thinking writing multiplatform file-manager myself. I can tell I used zillions of appz in my time, but I'll never forget this one. ![]() The ppl here really didn't understand it. So, even though the pace of development on this product is quite slow, I still find it a valuable alternative and am grateful that it's available and free. MU Commander does not suffer from this anomoly, nor does Free Commander, I believe. Just not handling it properly, whatever the case. Seems confused about which to display - created time and date, last viewed, last updated, etc. If you update a file in a folder, it will not only show the new date and time on that particular file, but often change the date and time on the folder itself, which is somewhat annoying. PowerDesk Pro 5 has a bug in how it handles NTFS partitions that seems to involve the date and time display. ![]() Since the updates of PowerDesk Pro in versions 6 and now 7 still contain a few show-stopper bugs, such as not keeping the proper sorted order during drag and drop operations and I'm stuck back at PowerDesk Pro 5, I need to start focusing on other options. If you're really just looking for a free 2-paned file manager for Windows, you may be happier with - why can't you just use the right click menu to access your RAR archives when you have WinRAR installed? It works great from Windows Explorer, PowerDesk, Free Commander, muCommander, etc.Īlthough I've bailed on using Macs and OS X and am back again using Windows exclusively, the fact that it's multi-platform means it's still useful to me, thankfully. If you really need cross-platform Java, you might be able to tolerate the immaturity of muCommander. After 6 years, this file manager finally supports deleting files to the Windows Recycle Bin. ![]() Much effort gets spent on platform compatibility issues. ![]() The feature list seems long but it's full of trivial little things which aren't well coordinated. That's why muCommander is over 6 years old but the developers are still not willing to call it version 1.0 yet. Really, muCommander feels like a programming class project getting dragged out, except that the teacher isn't guiding it anymore. However, there is no excuse for not supporting 7z because GPL-compatible Java implementations have been available for over 3 years. Due to being GPL, muCommander does not (and can never) support RAR files because it is not possible to implement RAR v3 (including all compression types) with GPL code. ![]()
