Commander 1-Free Dual-Pane File Manager for Your Mac

512

 

One of our members asked me for an easy way to transfer files from one folder to another. 

I advised her to download and install Commander 1 from Eltima Software. For the money, it provides the best dual-and file manager you can get.

Now you download it for free from either Eltima’s Website or from the Mac App Store.

 

Features You Will Enjoy

You will enjoy the convenience of two side-by-side panes. You won’t waste time setting up two Finder windows

If you want to swap the left and right panes, go up to the Command drop-down menu to select that command. You can do it even quicker by pressing the Shift+Option/Alt+E keys. 

Along the bottom, you’ll see a row Function Key commands. Through the Preferences menu for ViewerYou can pick which viewer app you want to use, either Commander 1’s own or macOS’s QuickLook or Preview

Choose Viewer app for Commander 1

 

Choose File Editor with Commander 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, What’s the Catch

 

The Catch to this great deal is that Eltima makes its money from people who buy the Pro Pack. For the first 15 days after your download you can try out the Pro Pack features.

 

Pro Pack features for Commander 1

 

If you want them after the trial period, you need to buy a license for $29.99 from Eltima. 

If you decide to skip activating the Pro Pack, you still have all the free feature forever. 

 

If you often wish for a dual-pane file manager instead of wrangling the Finder’s windows, I highly recommend. For the price, it can’t be beat. 

 

Commander 1 Free with a $29.99 Pro Pack available after 15 day trial period. 

 

P.S.

 

If you’d like to save a few bucks, find the press release and read it.
