My post could have been interpreted as a "scolding" or angry remark, and I'm glad you didn't - it was more in the spirit of a clarification. This too...

mc is great if you don't need drag-and-drop. One great advantage is that it runs in a plain shell - that means you can run it in an ssh shell. It's a great time saver if you need to work remotely.drac wrote:I've started using Double Commander on Ubuntu 10.10 because there is no Total Commander for Linux.
Double Commander is also written in Pascal/Lazarus like Total Commander for 64-bit.
Sure DC is beta, crashes from time to time, but it's better than mc / Gnome Commander and it seems to be actively maintained.
I guess DC people too uses the better TC forums assiduously...look at the great user base backing TC
1. There is no problem using User commands in the MainMenu, and you can open external programs via a User command, hence in the Main menu as well.It's unfortunate, to me, that Mr.Ghisler sees no value-add in something like that. The streamlining of the ButtonBar, Command-Line, Directory Hotlist, StartMenu and MainMenu is a longstanding wish of mine. If they all used the same format/syntax then you could have things like:
1) User Commands/External Programs in the Main Menu.
2) Button Commands that set the Target and/or Source path before performing an action.
3) Direct access to TC internal commands on the command line and usage of TC % args.
Just remember that you reply to a "complaint" made 7 years ago. I don't know how it was then, but this is a bumped thread.petermad wrote: ↑2018-11-15, 22:55 UTC 2Balderstrom1.

2. It doesn't come right out of the box, but I can think of at least two ways to set the Target and/or Source path before performing an action.
3. You do have direct access to TC internal commands on the command line, but admittedly not access to the use of TC % args on the command line.
Thanks - Indeed, I had overlooked thatJust remember that you reply to a "complaint" made 7 years ago
