Good flie manager

- Start date
Some of "the others" (and much better than the ugly Win311-like Windows Commander IMHO):
- Servant Salamander: two pane NC clone (/www.altap.cz/salam_en/)
- Directory Opus: two pane AND treeview pane or many other forms (/www.gpsoft.com.au/)
- Magellan Explorer: nice but slow (/www.enriva.com/)

Hi M8.pokopiko said:Some things that other filemanagers MAY do some day (the "archaic, 3.11 like" Windows Commander does them already):
1. View/extract ISO and cue/bin images.
2. Encrypt in standard as well as advanced (blowfish etc) form.
3. Act as FTP servers (!).
4. Make disk catalogs
5. Being used as backup utilities to UDF volumes (CDR or CDRW)
6. Processing (in+out) Installshield .cab files, ALL versions.
7. Opening Microsoft Installer files.
8. Processing Red Hat compliant installation packages! (.rpm).
9. Packing, unpacking and processing EVERY known compression format, plus some incredible things like Quake levels, Winimage disk images, java .jar files, Amiga .lzx and .dms, Unix z-files...
10. Let you make your own plugins (does not require any specific programming skills) for any operation left out (is any?).
Leaving aside the above supercoco is ABSOLUTELY right, his suggested filemanagers are much prettier and can do almost one tenth of what WC32 can do currently...
I agree with you that WC is top among filemanagers. However even though I used it some time I still haven't become reconciled with its "old" look. Therefore I don´t use it as an Explorer replacement in general. There are many other apps with Explorer like interface but as far as I know none has the features of WC.
And those feature rich apps are often also quite big and use lots of space and resources.
However you must explain the encryption thing..(Encrypt in standard as well as advanced (blowfish etc) form.) Is this done with a plug-in..or?

I have used win commander for years and am now on version 5.11.
However there is another similar one which looks bang upto date and which you can deslect confirmations on copy move etc, which doesn't seem to work on win com.
The program I am refering to is Win NC 3000

You can down load the demo which is dully functional but unfortunately I can't find a working crack unless someone out there can help me.

Dysmyl - thanks for that link very interesting
wincommander blegh
missing simple but necessary features like total and sub folder size are not provided; proggy's of 47KB(PFM) do so, but this bloated program gives up.
IMHO it's a proggy for freaks, kicking on gadgets like encryption things, but surely not a serious filemanager for straight purposes.

Oh well, I guess That PowerDesk Pro I grabbed will have to do then (where's the smiley's panel?)
I remembered it was supposed to be similar to ????? Commander, but it was NORTON Commander - one irritation in 2x is that SOME panels just don't seem to dock/split the way you want them to.
