Double Commander is a free, open-source file manager with dual-pane interface inspired by Total Commander and other orthodox file managers. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Double Commander provides powerful file operations for users who prefer keyboard-driven workflows.
The dual-pane design displays two directories simultaneously, streamlining copy and move operations between locations. Tabs within each pane enable quick switching between multiple directories. Customizable columns show file details including size, date, attributes, and more.
Built-in viewers display text, hex, images, and other formats without external applications. The internal text editor handles quick file modifications. Archive support browses and extracts ZIP, 7Z, RAR, TAR, and other formats as virtual directories.
File operations include copy, move, delete, and rename with extensive options. Multi-rename tool changes multiple file names using patterns and regular expressions. Calculate folder sizes shows actual disk usage. Synchronize directories compares and matches folder contents.
The command line at the bottom executes shell commands quickly. Custom toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts launch frequent operations. User-defined columns calculate information from file properties. File highlighting colorizes entries based on rules.
Version control integration displays status for Git, SVN, and Mercurial repositories. FTP support connects to remote servers. Plugins extend functionality with file system, content, and archive plugins. Configuration portability enables consistent setup across computers.
