Description

A high level of file management can be reached with the updated version of Commander One v3.0.

Commander One is a free file manager created in Swift, has a dual-pane interface that helps you handle your files in the most efficient way. Besides being easy-to-use, the app is rather fast and powerful that offers necessary features for seamless and full control over your files and folders.

Cultofmac.com - “Commander One looks like a great app to have on your Mac if you’re frustrated with OS X’s built-in file management.”
Lifehacker.com - ”Once it’s installed, you get dual pane browsing, unlimited tabs, a variety of sorting options, an easy toggle for revealing hidden files, and more. It also adds a handful of new keyboard shortcuts to make moving files around a little less painful. If you’re not a fan of how Finder does things, Commander One’s a more than capable alternative.”

Dual-pane view:
-Classical dual-panel appearance that can be adjusted according to your taste (color theme, fonts);
-Support for the Dark Mode to be in tune with the times (available starting from 10.14 only);
-Multiple tabs for browsing as many folders as needed;

Nice Finder alternative

This is a great piece of software, that can speed up your routine file management.
But, for me personally, it lacks one important option - the ability to hide second pane, when not necessary.
Most of the time, I need to see all my files at once, using the second pane only occasionally, and in my workflow dual pane design just gets in the way of what I’m doing.
Giving the ability to turn second/third pane on and off will make use case scenarios much more versatile, in my opinion.
Thanks!

What does this do?

I am failing to understand the function or purpose of this program. You're supposed to get a free 14 day trial of the "Pro" features, however if you try and use a pro feature it prompts you to pay for it. This was recommended to me as a time saver add on to my finder, however I can't tell why you would need this or what for. There are no hints, no tutorials, no nothing. You get a menu that appears to have shortcuts to open stuff you can open on your own. It seems to have folder functions that do what the finder does. SO WHY DO I NEED THIS AGAIN? This might be a great program with great timesaving features, but how are you supposed to understand them if the program doesn't even give you a hint as to what it can do or why you should spend $30 to upgrade it? This reminds me of the company that hired me years ago, but never sent me any work, told me what was expected, or even told me who my boss was or where to go. Who thought a mystery program would sell for $30 without a clue of it's capabilities or hints on its use or why you might need or benefit from it? I give up, this is pointless.

Wizard since before dos or Mac ,

I am so. thankful for Commander One

I have used both Mac and Windows OS extensively over many years, and it blows my mind that any program can call itself a file manager (finder) that runs in just one window. WHY? It’s clumbsy and error prone. This program indeed lacks the warm fuzzy, look and feel of native mac programs, but lets talk about usability. Invest the time in this program and you will be rewarded with clear safe file manipulation. No more files dropping into the wrong folder as you drag files to a different folder or window. Try and track down a few of those lost files, and you will understand how much better it is to open your source on the left window and destination on the right, then just the click copy or move button. Its easy and reliable. If that is all it did, it would be wortth it. Add to that the tons of other things it can do, and this is a no brainer. The best, even if it does look clunky.
