Linux version or not?

[wheeler]

I think Total Commander is ruling Windows systems, Krusader will/is do(ing) it for Linux. don't bother being both... one person can't give attention to two different systems.

I vote for a linux version.

Krusader won't replace TC (for me). Main reason could be that it's a KDE application (and I don't use this bloaty WM ...).

Just for information, TC works a little better with the latest release of WINE - Wine20041201 - in particular there isn't anymore the bug with autoselection of file while navigating with the arrow keys.

I vote for the Linux version.
I would like a Linux version of Total Commander!
I would like it very much!
I prefer Debian packages
yann117 is right! Other file managers won't replace TC!
But I will try WINE too!
So, Ghisler if you read this, please work on it!
Thanks!

yeeees!!! and it would be an even greater idea to have a console version also!!! What could be better than this???

Only problem if TC went Linux, it wouldnt fit in cas it wouldnt be open-source

I don't get your point. Where is the problem?

Is it forbidden to run closed-source software on an open-source system?

If people are willing to pay for one certain piece of software what does it matter what they "paid" for other programs or the OS?

You basically have the same situation when you run open-source software on a closed-source OS...

[oblus]

yes, but on GPL licence...

Is there anyone with no windows at all on their machine?

I never understood why people tend to fight about this thing... or any other thing. The one should use something else if he/she found that there are limitations in his/shes current working environment, be it editor, developer or OS itself. I work in Windows XP and this is the first WinOS that is great. I also had Linux for 1 year. Its just a matter of what do you want it for, and what you enjoy in life .....

Yes!

Total Commander is in fact Windows Commander. I say, let Linux have their own tools.

Howdy,

Well, Linux requires different file handling (permissions etc.), a really good
mount manager and some additional tools for virtual file systems and so on.

I guess a Linux version would have to be very different, including the
dream-feature of having an integrated shell (not just an embedded
widget) with own short-macros like used by Midnight Commander.

Of course i'd like a Linux version, but that would be much work to do.

Edit: TC is one of 3 applications i could hardly live without, plus the
newest games, which is why i still have got Windows installed. I would
switch to Linux ASAP if the gaming industry would start to support
POSIX platforms.

for all linux commander supporters - how about Mac Commander, BeOS Commander, Symbian Commander, Solaris Commander, OS/2 Commander...?

[Sam_Zen]

Because of some soft and hard tools I use, I'm bound to run windows. I voted yes, but to demand for completely rebuilding TC to fit Linux is i.m.o. a bit too far. It's a two way thing after all. If Linux was built in a way, that one could install TC as it is now, without problems for functioning, that's the other one of the scales.

What about TC for IBM mainframes, sportcars and finally for my washing machine?

Ghisler is doing a very great job with the TC for windows, but for one single person it is quite enough work to support such a powerful program for one operating system. And the list of feature requests for the windows program is still long enough.

I sometimes have to use linux and certainly would be very happy to have this tool under linux too, but that is something nobody can seriously ask for.

[MPS]

why, I'd love to use multi-rename tool in my refrigerator...

Christian should, and I suppose he will, stick to TC for Windows. But how about starting an open source TC for Linux project, dear programmers? maybe CG would share some of his ideas and hints for the development of the program? anybody cares to try? :]
