MX-17 Repository - The Double Commander thread

#1 Post by timkb4cq »

Per request, Double Commander 0.8.3 (doublecmd-qt or doublecmd-gtk) is now available in the MX-17 test repository.

Double Commander is a free cross platform open source file manager with two panels side by side. It is inspired by Total Commander.
Its built in viewer will show hex, binary or text format. It displays images, it treats archives (zip, gz, xz, etc.) as directories, and has a number of plugins.

As with any package in Testing, please leave feedback if you try it out.

Enjoy!

The test repo now has doublecmd_0.9.5. There have been several bugs fixed since 0.9.3.
You still get your pick of a Qt or gtk version to install.
these bugs we fixed in 0.9.4

Code: Select all

- 0002307: [Graphical user interface] Значение FixedRows не может превышать RowCount (cordylus) - resolved.
- 0001843: [Default] Text thumbnails do not display the last line of text (cordylus) - resolved.
- 0002085: [Graphical user interface] File selection with "INSERT" not working on filtered list (cordylus) - resolved.
- 0002298: [File operations] Ошибка Division by zero при удалении примонтированного *.iso (Alexx2000) - resolved.
- 0002283: [Default] Double Commander hangs for ever on file operations if RabitVCS is installed (Alexx2000) - resolved.
- 0001097: [Graphical user interface] Show thumbnails loses Custom Columns (Alexx2000) - resolved.
- 0001642: [Graphical user interface] Open &VFS list - literal & in the hint of the \\ button (Alexx2000) - resolved.
but the program wouldn't launch so the 0.9.5 release fixed that.

Slightly OT, if you have vanilla MX, which one is preferred, gtk or qt?
In which case would you install either of them?
It is based on, which themes you have installed, correct?

They both seem to function and I only use it enough to make sure it works before I send it up so I can't say which, if either follow the themes better.

I use the gtk version on MX.
Theming is better than it was several versions ago.
Haven't tried DC-qt for several years.

I believe you can install both, then execute your choice to test. I think the common & plugin dependencies are same for both versions.

No lights nor strong enough internet to test that theory.

Nope, one or the other. The two front-ends conflict.
I prefer the Qt aesthetic over Gtk. I think most of the dev team does since the MX-Tools are developed using Qt.

Thanks, good to know.
My opinion was incorrect.
I stayed with the gtk2 version since Xfce4 used it.
I'm just accustomed to the look. :)
I'll give the qt version a chance.
