Double Commander Plugins 2021 Download
Jocelin Gil
A: The goal of the project is to create a program close to TC in operation and with maximum compatibility via the plugins and configuration files. However, Double Commander has some important advantages: it's free to use, works with different operating systems, and is open source.
A: They work, but not all of them. Plugins from TC compiled for Windows can only be used with Windows version of Double Commander. But if the plugins have open source code, you can try to build them for GNU/Linux (or maybe ask the plugin developer to do it :)).
There are a number of plugins for Linux and cross-platform plugins (see Wiki, repositories plugins, doublecmd-plugins and others), as well as several topics on the official forum (for example, one, two).
1. Portable version
Copy (or move) your "mydctheme" folder to the "pixmaps" folder near doublecmd.exe, restart DC, go to "Configuration" in the main menu > Options... > Icons > Icon theme, choose your theme and restart DC again.
2. Installed version
Go to "Configuration" in the main menu > Options... > Configuration > Directories > Icon themes:, here you will see the list of possible directories.
Don't use /usr/share/doublecmd/pixmaps, C:\Program Files\Double Commander\pixmaps or other system directory: this requires root/admin rights, also this would be a intervention to the packages manager's work in Linux or DC installer for Windows. DC usually suggests the following additional path (besides the "pixmaps" folder near doublecmd.exe):
2) Installed version
Go to "Configuration" in the main menu > Options... > Configuration > Directories > Highlight:, here you will see the list of possible directories.
Don't use /usr/share/doublecmd/highlighters, C:\Program Files\Double Commander\highlighters or other system directory: this requires root/admin rights, also this would be a intervention to the packages manager's work in Linux or DC installer for Windows. DC usually suggests the following additional path (besides the "highlighters" folder near doublecmd.exe):
Until reading your post today, I had only installed "gnome commander" which I had installed on this system as I had been using it the longest, but after looking at the features of another one called "Midnight Commander" I installed that one just now because it looks like it might even be better. The other two file managers to be found in the software center are called "Tux Commander" and "Krusader".
Mostly I use the file manager included with Ubuntu because I teach Ubuntu and I prefer to be fluent in what my students are using. I suspect I could make them all commander converts without much difficulty.
Implemented a small lock for pins to be edited so they are not easily edited by mistake. you gotta press CTRL key on the pin to edit it now (move and scale). Also selection is more stable as it does not select the closest origin point of a pin but an area of the pin giving priority to the ones on top of the stack. Also when doing a double click will open the Zoom Pin operation, or by using the context menu. Also ALT clicking will activate the drag and drop operation from the given pin.
