There is a new TC "Clone" that supports TC Plugins (Lister & Packer) and BackgroundPictures for the Panels...

Sir_SiLva,
Why not to post it to a separate topic?

IMHO this background images availability makes this awful.
There is nothing to be readable.

If you don't like one option - don't use it

@m^2
I know, that was my little opinion.
It seems that this UltraCommander is pretty quick (quicker than freeCommander) and TC's plugins usage is a big plus for it. EOT for UC

UltraCommander

If you can't innovate I guess you just imitate.

Yeah, the TC and NC are good example.

Yeah, thats why its name is UC.

I like this UC. Will be good free alternative when it is fully finished.

That's not my point. UC copies almost each and every UI element used in TC. There are many commander like applications and that's absolutely ok but this is a rip-off.

I suspect so too.

Its pretty good now. It has ugly default settings for look, but once you tweak them, it looks almost the same as TC. There are some nice improvements. Its size can also compare TC.

I don't know, but on my machine it eneters folders slower then in TC. There is like 100 - 200 ms pause when I click the folder to the moment I enter it. In TC this is instant.

UC copies almost each and every UI element used in TC.

Yes.
The same as Win Comander 1.0 copied each aspect of NC except having Left | Right repeating the same menu (which was xtremely stupid).
After 20 years of development, TC is now another story. UC can have the same path.

There is also a chance that this will never be commercial. Its stupid to buy something for which you have xtremely popular commercial alternative in low price range and bunch of freeware alternatives. But who knows... ppl are stupid thats for shure.

But I agree with you about one thing.
This definitely didn't have to be rip off. There are bunch of places where TC sucks and this man could fix all that sht but obviosly was happy enough with TC to decide to clone most of its features.

You mean Windows Commander? That's just not true.

Well for me it looks as if this guy even copied many things I don't like in TC.
