• Use Midnight Commander like a pro (2015)

  Shameless plug for my more modern alternative to Midnight Commander, https://fman.io. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Best symbols in folder names to pin an important folder up top?

  Use a file browser that supports jumping to a folder by frecency (examples: z (shell extension) or my-dired-recent-dirs() in my dired or https://fman.io/ for users that prefer graphical UIs). You will find out that you will prefer jumping to navigation when you're familiar with the concept. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?

  There are great alternatives. I used Python and Qt to create my file manager [1]. It's a tool that needs to start quickly so Electron was not an option [2]. I open sourced my build system for creating cross-platform desktop apps with it in minutes at https://build-system.fman.io/. 1: https://fman.io 2: https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-in-2016/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Double Commander

  I often "favorite" such threads because of the alternatives listed in the comments. I use Multi Commander[0]. I have tried a few of the others over the years but for the last five years or more I haven't moved from Multi Commander. [0] http://multicommander.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Midnight Commander Tips and Tricks

  I like MultiCommander[1], which I've been using for many years, because it's quite feature rich. It would be great if there were some in-depth, feature-by-feature comparisons of all these two-pane file managers. [1] - http://multicommander.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• What are some free programs/software a PC should have?

  I have grown to rely on MultiCommander (http://multicommander.com/). It is a great dual-pane file manager that is super customizable if you want to put the time in. Source: over 2 years ago

  If you are looking for free software, Multi Commander (http://multicommander.com/ ) is almost as good as Total Commander. Source: over 2 years ago

• HiveNightmare a.k.a. SeriousSAM – anybody can read the registry in Windows 10

  Before I forget, there is also multi-commander that uses the "filesystem approach": http://multicommander.com/ http://multicommander.com/docs/browse-registry. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
