Ratings and Reviews
Not ready for usage as a daily driver
Many essential features missing: toolbar not configurable, cannot edit the path bar, some actions have no assignable shortcuts, columns are not resizable, context menu has no option to rename the selected file/folder, search for action name in the hotkey assignment dialog, etc.. A long way to go until it reaches the functionality of Total Commander (win) or even Double Commander (osx). But overall a promising app; hopefully it will keep improving.
