Double Commander

Hello, I've been following the development of Double Commander and I really like it. From time to time I test dev versions and enjoy every improvement... Right now I'm using 0.46 Alpha - Revision 2302.

I love Total Commander and of course Double Commander, but there's a file manager program I really enjoy too and it would be awesome if Double Commander introduces such feature...

There's a Freeware called Q-Dir which is a file manager and sports a cool 4-view screen. I find it very useful because I'm constantly navigating across A LOT of directories and the tabs are not enough sometimes...

Q-Dir not only sports the 4-view screen but also the tabs, that gives me enough places to work very comfortably... So it would be really nice if Double Commander had such a cool 4-view feature!

... As a second request I'd like Double Commander to be able to decompress .rar and 7-zip files... I repeat, de-compress... At least 7-zip which is an Open Source format.

Thanks

regarding 7zip, try this plugin. It works very well...

at least unrar comes with Double Commander by default.

best regards

Thanks LaBero...

Another suggestion I have for Double Commander would be Drag-n-Drop from and to other applications. Ass soon as I try to drag a file outside the DC window, I get an error and a crash.

...I'm almost sure this is not a bug but a feature in progress to be fully supported though.

No, this is a bug. Since v0.4.5 drag&drop is fully supported. Are you using Win7 by any chance?

If you get any crashes it's best to report them (especially with 0.4.6 since it gives a nice backtrace).

Hello cobines... Thanks for clearing it up...

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate x64... And Double Commander (alpha) 0.4.6 Revision 2364M

Oh, and the crash only happens when I try to drag a file outside the DC screen... It works OK if I drag a file from another application (e.g. Q-Dir) onto DC.

The error I get before the actual crash is the following (extracted from the .err file):
