OneCommander: Windows File Explorer Alternative Focused on Customization

[@MorbidVizions]

Been using this exclusively for over a year now. Can't imagine not having it now. Such a powerful explorer. Saving tab sets for different work flows is a monumental time saver and eases the frustrations of using multiple folders at once. WELL worth the small fee for sure!

[@lechiffre5078]

Played with this for 10 minutes and I am already sold.

i have to check that out tomorrow. windows file explorer is driving me nuts. i dont even have words for it. its almost as if microsoft actively tried to make the explorer as bad as possible. its confusing, it makes no sense, its unefficient, you have all of that duplicate nonsense all over the ui and...you know what annoys me the most? i am a windows user since windows 98, i SHOULD know windows by now. yet here i am and every time i need to do something in the explorer, i am like ''floating my mouse around trying to figure out where i had to click trying to find things'' it just makes no sense. urgh... i hate it.

[@jadet.9563]

I've looked for this solution for a long time. Thank you.

[@LukeJT22]

Your video encouraged me to start using one command or more. I love it so far. Thanks for the tips!

[@poweredbyowc]

We're glad to hear that our video was very helpful.

[@samdovels1234]

How can I change the preview/details pane to be at the bottom of the folder instead of the right side? That's the biggest issue for me with the regular Files explorer. They sadly changed it from Windows 7 for no reason.

[@poweredbyowc]

It does look like Standard view might be what you're looking for as it allows the Details pane at the bottom of the pageonecommander.com/help/2._Quick_introductory_guide/3._The_Browsers_and_Layouts.html

[@QuenchGames]

Thank God! Giving this a shot. I have always hated windows file explorer. I hope search is better on this one. If not... I am a developer, and I will begin my journey of creating my own file explorer....

[@poweredbyowc]

😉💙👍

[@patricioeb]

Feels so cool, total control... I may only miss an FTP connection.

[@averagepainter]

One question. Can it handle file names greater than 260 characters?

[@jingming8888]

How to display the property bar, which is the top row of the list, displaying file name, size, date, file type, etc. I can even customize the display of comments.

[@abeibrahim5846]

Great tutorial - 1Q: Why is there a NOT symbol in the Size column for some directories, and how to correct that?

[@Definesleepalt]

thank you so much , have been looking for a new file explorer for a long time.... windows 10 UI is just so bad this is like a breath of fresh air , i teared up a bit at the fact that i don't have to use file explorer anymore :')

[@HOAIAN02]

How to use ftp client, I typing ftp:// and it show invalid.

[@Erpdc-y6w]

I tried one commander some couple months ago for at least half of a month but i didn't like how it looks and then i went back to windows 11 file explorer I like windows 11 file explorer but drag n drop in address bar is bad compared to win11, lags so much and even freeze some time end up going black screen then i have to restart it I'm pretty sure the type of windows file explorer alternative I'm looking for not even exist Basically i want a file manager that identical to windows 11 file explorer and its features but not laggy n even more features like png tag support folder tag support would be even better Files is probably the closest alternative

[@Anggelos876]

Do you think Peek from Microsoft PowerToys will work with One Commander?

[@nikolainedkov4878]

So by mistake I deleted the default folder with "recent" and i cant find out how to bring "recent" back can someone help?

[@poweredbyowc]

While we recommend reaching out to OneCommander for help on restoring folders, it does look like you can create a new one following these steps: onecommander.com/help/2._Quick_introductory_guide/5._Basic_folder_and_file_operations.html

[@ronaldstarck4742]

good day is there a function - synchronize folders?

[@poweredbyowc]

We recommend contacting OneCommander directly for this inquiry. While we have provided a video of their program, they are best equipped to answer your question.

[@peterwassmuth4014]

Awesome Thank you for Sharing 💯✴ It's a really nice file manager! but I'm still going back to Total Commander Which I have been using since 2002.

As of 2024 OneCommander has presentation of polished Norton Commander clone. OneCommander features nice color use and good menu organization. The best I have seen in any Commander. It is not perfect. It is unpolished in places, like file properties menu lakcing font aliasing. But still it is very nice and cozy. The real issue with OneCommander is that it lacks a lot of functionality desired by NC clone. From simple stuff like Alt+F1/F2 for drive change, Tab for focus change, Ins to select etc. Program has no way to configure keyboard mappings. At least trough gui. Program also treats archives as files, instead as folders. There is no way to map sft/scp drives. The list goes on.

[@bariole]

One of the reasons why I **love** Total Commander is that you can use remote Linux/Unix folders as local files. Like open scp drive as it was local partiation, Alt+F7 to find file on god knows where on network, hit F4 to bring file to your local editor, edit, hit Ctrl+S to save, Total Commander will respond to save by uploading new version to scp drive, effectivly making remote files your local files. There is a plugin to handle Amiga drives. Or EXT2/3/4 disks. Your archives are just folders. etc.. Ultra Commander had quite of similairty. So did Konqeror and Midnight COmmander. But One commander lacks all of that. Shame..

[@dimplevicky_edit]

Good one thank u......😍

[@poweredbyowc]

👍💙😉

[@76magicman]

[@cmStudios256]

[@aeonjoey3d]

Okay, just learned this existed; I've been a pc user for the first 30 years of my life, and a mac user for the last 10, and having to now use a PC and a Mac for work, I HATE WINDOWS with a passion, every feature I can't live without on Mac is missing on Windows. I cant believe you can't sort folders by size or even see the folder sizes. I'm going to buy this because I do use QuickLook and other mac-like customizations. The only thing I wish it did was replace file open/save dialogs

[@NyawttyClips]

DOES IT HAVE A MOUNT FEATURE???????????????????????????????

[@NeilParkinson-ps7ew]

Anyone know how to rename multiple files?

[@gregoriomenza2543]

Adobe Bridge

[@MeromoM]

Can't you just select the files, right click and choose "Rename with File Automator"? I'm new to it myself, but that appears to be the way.

[@Switchfoot3r]

I see a lot of reasons to try this. None of the ones you mentioned, though. You clearly don't know how to use the native file explorer. It seems like you're moving from a Mac. If that's the case, then you need to learn how to do things on Windows before claiming something isn't doable or available natively. I've been a Windows user my whole life and when I use my wife's Mac it frustrates me beyond end, but I try to keep in mind these systems work differently and speak different languages. I won't claim they can't do something just because I don't know how to do it. I'm aware I need to learn the language.

Would of been nice if you showed the normal layout and not the macintosh layout, now i gotta go find a normal video for one commander.

[@TheCynysterMind]

It looks very interesting... But it is easy to see why you have such a hard time with *windows explorer* the things you were complaining about can be removed/hidden. Also the idea of running an installation 'not' as an administrator seem foolish and weird. If you are using windows properly, windows should ask for admin rights to install anything. But overall you are correct that windows explorer can be confusing because not many bother to learn how the dang thing works. They recently fixed the single most glaring shortcoming and that was TABS. But windows explorer has been lacking for a very long time I began using another product that is even better than One Commander. BUT it is soooooooo very powerful and sooooooo very configurable that most people will just think it is to difficult to use. Directory Opus.
