Take Command of File Management

Double Commander is a sophisticated and open source file management programme that functions across several operating platforms and which offers a handy Unicode support function.

Double Panel Operation

Due to the twin panels laid out side by side, Double Commander offers a visually pleasing way of organising files that make sense the first time you use them. Whether you are using it with Linux or Windows, the twin panel format is the same. There are some handy configuring options, too. For example, Double Commander allows users to customise their columns and to work with WCX, WDX and WLX plug-ins if wanted. There is a useful internal text editor with syntax highlighting, too. If you need to rename files to conform to a new organisation system, then there is a multi-rename tool built for this purpose. Common archive file types are supported, such as zip, tar, tgz, bz2, deb and rar. Lastly, the programme offers a search operation with full text search functionality in any file directory plus a configurable button bar which can be used to start external programmes.

The Total File Management Solution?

With so much on offer, Double Commander may be all you ever need to keep files fully organised. Because all of its operations work in the background, it allows you to get on with other tasks, so it certainly offers a great deal.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
