my review
Firstly i was a hardcore Total Commander user, can’t live without it. And after switch to osx i’ve searched for an alternative and i was very sad that any of the available file managers lack features that is must have for me, ugly or just acts wierd. Than i find Commander Pro. Truly this is the best alternative for TC. But if you like finder features or controls this is not for you.
This latest upgrade solves a lot of bugs so it’s getting better and better.
However there are still need some improvements and have few bugs and wrong UX/gui solutions. Here are few:
- speed: little bit slow when changing dirs. Try Files app here in the app store, that’s what i call fast!
- copy/move files: if one file is selected for copy/move the filename needs to be filled in the end of path input, so you can rename the file if you want
- file overwrite: for me this is the worst implementation. Why is the “keep both” the deafult? is anybody use this? imho the default is need to be cancel and need some shortcut or able to switch options with the cursors. Oh and the "apply to all" needs to be an option not a checkbox. For this the TC is the golden standard.
- the built in viewer need to open any unknow format in text mode, not in hex
- google drive integration crashing
- draging files need some enhancements. When i like to drag file it always keeps select files, and when i like to select files it drag one of them
- the calculate dir size feature need some process indicator that it is in the process. Check TC for example.
I will update this review if i find more.
