Bleh, haven’t been here in a while. So I have a Windows 10 PC that I use for gaming and a Fedora laptop I use for everything else. I simply cannot go back to not having tabs. I don’t understand why Windows doesn’t have them by default. So help me out here.
The one I use for years and years now, something I cannot live without anymore: Directory Opus. You can costumize everything. It works with ftp. Moving files has its own transfer system which is faster then windows. It has one folder tree and 2 folder screens next to eachother, each with tabs. I’ve tried several file browsers, but this one is by far the very best. It took the best from all file browsers and combines them. As options, so you may have a totally different one as to I have, fit to preference.
Edit: a free alternative is Total Commander. 2 windows, tabs, just no folder tree.
I second Directory Opus. It’s a very good file browser.
Interesting. Does it do file synchronization? They don’t seem to advertise that on their site. Regardless though, I’d want to sync between 4 or five computers and the licenses for this thing start to get steep. That’s my issue with software like this, many of us now have quite a few computers in our household and this is something that if you got used to you’d want it on all of them, but then you start paying like corporate licensing prices and it’s just silly.
Directory Opus not having a Linux version is one of the sad mysteries of the universe
Just for completeness the very similar FreeCommander
Multi renaming, filter for current view, tabs (which could be cloned, locked and renamed), bookmarks, flatview of all subfolders, an advanced search and a few shortcuts to some windows folders.
Nice! Sadly though, I do not see a Linux version, same as Directory Opus :'(
