If you like Krusader, give MC a serious go, you will find it familiar to use. It can enter archives without extracting, launch other apps based on file extension, hide dotfiles with -alt+.-, f3 view, f4 edit, has a built in editor (mcedit, although you can set this to another like VIM, Emacs or if you have common sense Nano), has lots of sensible keybindings, ssh and sftp support by default, can manage file permissions and ownership, it works in any terminal emulator on any desktop environment, window manager and in TTY without X , I've been using linux for over 15 years now and its been my go to for at least 6 of those. I still don't utilise all its features

I recently tested different compression methods as I was looking for the strongest method for archival file storage. For files that are being archived that you don't need to access often I found tar.xz was the strongest at least that I had installed on my system though it is slow. Perhaps if you have a very powerful PC it won't matter. For really strong compression almost as much as xz but not quite but with much better performance I find zstd at level 14 to be really excellent. This is better for archives you may have to access more often.

I use and love Krusader. I think you missed shortcuts to locations ctrl+d - one of the best features. You can also shortcut to remote locations like servers or even certain directories as specific user, etc. With many servers we can add tabs to panels so we could manage them all in one view and of course, through system saving of passwords and keys, we can log in to any server without a fuss. Filezilla? Pfff... a noob tool ;D . Krusader can do much more in more convenient way.

Kudos to John Socha and Peter Norton Computing for Norton Commander all those years ago. Used it in DOS and later Christian Ghisler's Windows (now Total) Commander (still do when I am in Windows). Whilst still getting on my feet in Linux find Double Commander closest to my TC experience and Midnight Commander in the terminal. Thanks for the tip Chris - will defintiely have a look at it :)

I'm glad you posted this. I've always done my advanced file management in the terminal on Linux. I always knew there were better graphical file managers out there over the defaults you get with Gnome and KDE but never got around to looking at them as I don't run GUIs on Linux servers and I'm just used to piping commands into each other. This looks like it'll same my fingers a bit.

I really liked this video. I like how you covered the app/s that you use on a daily basis. This helps me see how to move from Windows File Explorer to a better app. Yes, I have something nicer in Windows that allows Tabs on File Explorer, but it's not as nice and simple as this. Thanks. Please keep doing videos like this and walk through all that you use on Linux.

Thanks for sharing. Having finally using Linux over the last four months, along with Windows still, I still haven't found a file manager with the same power and configuration as Directory Opus. I find myself desperately missing DO while using Linux.

Hi, I am not a KDE fan, but few years a go when the KDE4 was released, I was very happy with krusader, but the dolphin also supported the twin view.. There is another very similar file manager based on gtk, it's called double commander.

Ef-Stab , I got a chuckle from that, I've always called it Ef Es Tab (File System Table) nice intro to Krusader, trying to figure out how to see what's in the F2 queue when you stack up multiple entries.

Hi, any idea why when I am browsing folders in crusader (kubuntu), using just keyboard arrow keys, it doesn't show (folder is not marked ) current position like in MC ?
