Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for LinuxKrusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for LinuxPosted Apr 30, 2005 6:13 UTC (Sat) by jwb (guest, #15467)Parent article: Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux The file management zodiac goes 'round and 'round. We alternate between single-pane-window file managers like Finder, Explorer, Konqueror, or Nautillus and split-screen file managers like the subject of this article. What's amazing is that the history of Krusader goes back 20 years to the first version of Norton Commander, 1985. Norton Commander and XTree were the preeminent file managers for DOS, when people still willingly paid $25-$100 for useful software trinkets. Krusader is a direct descendant of Norton Commander. While trying to find the release date of Norton Commander, I stumbled across this impossibly complete resource containing, apparently, the annotated history of split-screen file managers.

Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted Apr 30, 2005 6:23 UTC (Sat) by xorbe (subscriber, #3165) [Link] Now with blue crystals! [grin]
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 1, 2005 15:53 UTC (Sun) by job (subscriber, #670) [Link] Konqueror can use a twin-panel view, just choose Window / Split.
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 1, 2005 19:17 UTC (Sun) by khim (guest, #9252) [Link] Does it have third panel with command like ? That is what defines Twin-Panel filemanager: two panels and command line. Two panels by itself are not a big deal.
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 1, 2005 22:30 UTC (Sun) by rmini (subscriber, #4991) [Link] Actually, yes. You can split the window left/right, and then add a fullterminal emulator at the bottom. You can actually split the windows arbitrarily top/bottom and left/right to have a grid of 4 file manager windows and a command line at the bottom.
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 1, 2005 23:11 UTC (Sun) by khim (guest, #9252) [Link] Four panels are useless. It's Ok to work with two panels: two possibilities (left active/right inactive vs left inactive/right active). With four panels there are 24 possibilities and navigation becomess a mess (mouse is no-go if you want speed). Hmm... Looks like it's time to install and check Konqueror once more. Terminal emulator is integrated with panels, right ? I.e.: if I change current directory in terminal emulation panels on top will be affected as well and vice versa - this is not just three unrelated windows, right ? I'm pretty happy with MC, actually - but there are known problems and development is stalled...
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 2, 2005 9:42 UTC (Mon) by Codeknight (guest, #29683) [Link] Yes it's true that Konqueror can use a twin-panel view,but than it is still not a OFM like Krusader.
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 5, 2005 9:44 UTC (Thu) by cloose (subscriber, #5066) [Link] Or even better: Settings->Load View Profile->Midnight Commander
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 8, 2005 20:30 UTC (Sun) by Codeknight (guest, #29683) [Link] Konqueror in "Midnight Commander Profile",is still not the same like the original Midnight Commander. It has not the power of an (OFM) Orthodox File Manager http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/index.shtml btw. Konqueror and Krusader are using both KDElibs, KIOslaves, ... but the GUI is different because Krusader is an OFM.
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 1, 2005 20:31 UTC (Sun) by Arker (guest, #14205) [Link] Great resource!
Still can't see to find an OFM for my Mac, unfortunately.
Krusader v1.60.0 - The Twin-Panel File Manager for Linux Posted May 2, 2005 9:49 UTC (Mon) by Codeknight (guest, #29683) [Link] There is a Krusader MAC OS X port :)krusader-1.40.fink.darwin-ppc.tar.bz2 http://krusader.sourceforge.net/down.php
But so long KDE and KDElibs are not "100% availabele" on MAC you
Krusader is looking for a maintainer for this Krusader MAC OS X port btw.
If you want "full Desktop integreation", you could try maybe:
or maybe:
Maybe there are some other OFM file managers for MAC OS X?
