What's your preferred File Manager

I'm very impressed with Double Commander. It has an excellent feature set and user interface for a cross platform app if you're looking for a dual-pane file manager. Out of curiosity, what is it missing that's important to TC/DOpus users?

Ehtyar.

For me DC is definitely slower on files listing and coping. There is no thumbnails view, background transfer and QuickView yet. The rest are the things which are small but annoying for me.

To name a few:
- configuration dialog is about 1000x800px but in most of cases even half of it is not used;
- no ellipsis for files names if they are too long;
- many dialogues are wasting the space (i.e. Change button bar);
- in TC mouse's wheel scrolls entire panel, in DC - focused line is changed only;

There is no point in listing all of these. It is a fresh project after all and many things will change. I hope it will get better from UI side because for now it looks immature.

That is an impressive list.

AC Browser didn't make it huh....
Some just haven't played with it.
It's pretty customizable imho.
Or they have used it and don't like it.
That's cool.
One thing though,
you can turn off the panel on the left in 'view'.
Or turn off or on most anything....

I like the thing.
I'm sure there are others better though.

It's hard to believe but is having so many windows* opened really comfortable? I know I have 1280x1024 resolution only but even when I've got two panels, it sometimes gives me the feeling of not enough space. Cluttering it more could decrease readability.

*) Judging from screenshot :)

Yeah the text is large in that shot.
I can't remember my settings when I shot it.
But these eyes can use larger text in most cases.
Honestly I don't know if text size is changeable.
I'm not sure what my resolution was,
or on which monitor I shot it on.
I use one monitor that 1200 x 1024,
and the other is less so I can drag stuff to it to read it better.

edit- and having two windows open helps with drag and drop
you can just have one window open

I tried Qdir I think its called.
4 windows and small text.

I usually use windows explorer, but if I'm doing tasks,
I'll open AC.
