Perhaps if i ever decide to switch to Linux as my main OS at some point i'll try to work on Double Commander myself and implement the stuff i'm missing. It kinda reminds me of Midnight Commander vs FAR Manager with the latter being way more advanced than MC (though Windows only), but even then despite its lack of features MC still feels mature and is what i end up using on Linux despite preferring GUI applications. Sadly it feature-wise it is very behind Total Commander, i use TC all day all the time and DC always feels like an unfinished alpha version of TC. Yes, it is even mentioned on the web site and it also supports Total Commander plugins (IIRC Ghisler mentioned at some point that he's fine with other file managers adding support for TC plugins since it means there will be more plugins available). There is a micro framework included so anybody can make their own configurations in minutes or publish any type of plugin: So, one of those two commands will make you have almost exactly the same experience with 20 or so really useful plugins all installed within minute unattended and with all components updated with single command (the TC one being commercial):Ĭup all # update TC/DC or any plugin/config any time DC/TC with bunch of plugins depending on what you have installed (both at the same time work too): I created bunch of chocolatey packages that can be used with both and 2 skins that make them look the same:

Since all TC plugins work in it, there is no need to use TC. It has better interface for included tools like multi rename and is cross-platform. Double commander is IMO better then TC (apart from still being buggy).
