By emil-18 on May 15 2024 for v.3.8

Value: 5.0

The free version of Commander One has got almost all functions I ever need for managing files so I recommend this application to everyone that like working with 2-panel file managers.

Ease of use: 5.0

The application in very well thought-over, anyone using Total Commander will have no problems with using Commnader One on a daily basis. The interface is eye-catching, icons are wisely placed and app menu is made so that you can find all the needed commands very intuitively.

Features: 5.0

What to say - it really does the job :) There is plenty of useful commands you need for managing files. It is very easy to find and display contents of files, to sort, execute or delete them.

I like the speed of this app, and wanted to buy the pro version. But, I learned that dragging is pain in the ass because the apps does multi-selection when you try drag one file. It is very strange property. I have to try multiple times when I try to drag a file.

i don't be afraid now to switch from Windows to Mac!" Commander one is easy to use, self-explanatory, has many functions and rich options to design view as you want! lots of tutorials and help on how to use are available Cons: I would like like in Windows: Cut - Button, otherwise everything is fine. Finder is unusual for the Windows users! you can rely on the program and completely without ''Finder''.

It is fine app. The interface is very similar to Dcommander. Here is little comparison of two apps: Commander One and Dcommander are exactly similar in interface---to the point of one can mistake one for the other. Their features are very similar as well. I have outlined the differences if they are going to help sb: - DCommander has a sidebar; Commander One has no - Some features of the Apple Finder are available in Commander one: - spotlight search - Services--this is very useful - DC: supports regex search: CO does not - DC uses Quicklook is with Space: CO uses with CMD+Y - CO allows keyboard customizations: DC does not. If Commander One has the sidebars that DC has, I would have preferred it especially the fact that the regular Finder Services are very useful. But, the absence of a sidebar is a huge drawback.
