muCommander ReviewSpeed is Ok - Version: 0.8, 11/19/2007 08:20AM PST

Referring to my previous rewiev I confirm that speed of applicatio is good enough to work with. I've done a data sort-out for 60Gb quite quickly.

I am missing compare folders feature like it is working in the FAR for Windows.
Beside this still I recommend muCommander as a good tool.

In general I like the keyboard navigation, short-cuts, preview feature.

As improvement I'll recommend to work out proper behavior of application with app folder which in fact is the Mac application. I would like to run application instead of going inside of the folder. Can you implement this simple trick?

muCommander ReviewI like it - Version: 0.8, 11/13/2007 02:20AM PST

Hi Folks,

I just started to use muCommander and found it really good. I am a switcher and I familiar with a many of PC analogues, so muCommander something like betwean Midnight commander for Linux and Total commander for Windows.

I can not talk about speed performance of the tool yet (it is java based) but for me it was acceptable when I was dealing with ftp upload/download. Also I did not loked for documentation/Support, so I will specify Neutral rating fot this.

Concerning the Features.This tool gives you a lot of them to work with. In my case tool was stable, but I will not give the excelent rate on this subject due to short time use of the tool

Overall:
Those of you who are familiar with *nix filesystem structure will find this tool really usefull.

Regards,
Sergey
