Double Commander als Linux-Alternative zu Total Commander
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Double Commander is a solid Linux alternative to Total Commander for anyone who relies on a dual‑pane, tabbed file manager with archive handling and keyboard‑driven workflows. It reproduces the core layout and most of the functionality that Total Commander users expect, while adding cross‑platform support and a free GPL license. Power users who depend on extensive plugin ecosystems may miss some Windows‑only extensions, but for everyday file browsing, batch operations, and basic FTP/SFTP work Double Commander is more than adequate.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Dual‑pane layout with independent navigation
- Multiple tabs per pane
- Built‑in archive handling (zip, tar, 7z, etc.)
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- File comparison and synchronization
Was anders ist
- Total Commander includes a native FTP client UI; Double Commander relies on external tools or plugins for full FTP support
- Some proprietary WCX/WFX plugins for Total Commander have no Linux equivalents
- Total Commander’s internal file viewer/editor is Windows‑specific; Double Commander uses its own cross‑platform viewer/editor
- Total Commander offers a built‑in task scheduler for background operations, which Double Commander lacks
Ihre Total Commander-Dateien öffnen
Double Commander can open and extract the same archive formats that Total Commander handles, so moving .zip, .tar, .7z, etc., is straightforward. Configuration files (INI or XML) are not directly compatible; you will need to recreate toolbar layouts and shortcut mappings manually. There is no official import tool, but copying the file list or using the built‑in sync feature can help migrate favorite directories.
Von Total Commander zu Double Commander wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Install Double Commander from your distro’s repository or the official AppImage.
- Launch Double Commander and set the preferred layout (two panes, tabs).
- Import or recreate your keyboard shortcuts and toolbar buttons in the Preferences dialog.
- If you use FTP, install an external client (e.g., lftp) or add a compatible WCX/WFX plugin.
- Test archive handling and file comparison to ensure they work as expected.
- Gradually replace Total Commander usage with Double Commander, keeping both installed until you’re comfortable.

Häufige Fragen
Can Double Commander handle Total Commander’s custom column layouts?
Not directly; you will need to configure columns again in Double Commander’s view settings.
Is there a way to use Total Commander plugins on Linux?
Only plugins compiled for Linux will work; most Windows‑only WCX/WFX plugins cannot be used.
Does Double Commander support background file transfers like Total Commander’s queue?
It lacks a built‑in queue system; you can achieve similar results with external tools or by running multiple instances.
