Interface

Similar to Total Commander, the workspace of this file manager is divided into two panels, each displaying a list of directories. There is an option to easily copy and transfer elements. Additionally, you may also switch volumes with a single click.

In the lower part of the page you can find a control panel that enables file and folder operations. Users can create, delete, copy, move, rename, and sort various items. Different actions can be performed using either the mouse or keyboard shortcuts.

Plugins

It is possible to activate a number of additional modules that extend the file manager’s capabilities.
