Nimble Commander - full analogue of Total Commander for Mac

Finder - even with tabbed browsing - can not compete with the powerful two-pane file manager, the ideal model which has always been and will not be available on Mac Total Commander. Fully replace its functionality and usability can easily Nimble Commander, which will be discussed below.

Philosophy Nimble

From the convenience and performance of the tool depends on the final result. At Nimble Commander with it all right. It is fully justifies its name (in English the nimble - agile, nimble), consumes the minimum amount of resources and delivers instant response, equally fast and working with one window, and with a dozen.

For advanced users, a file manager - it is not just a document viewer and folders, and entire ecosystem, which is connected with most of their work. With Nimble Commander does not need to be distracted, there is everything: the viewer, file archiver, emulator "Terminal», FTP / SFTP-client and more.

Almost all (if not all) actions with files and additional tools are executed with hotkeys that great saves time and allows you to work like in the good old days. Not the last role is played by Nimble Commander flexibility, through which you can customize anything and everything under him.

Appearance

The application's interface is so, and what should be: the most ascetic and does not contain anything superfluous. The slender ranks of the contents of your file system so the status bar. Any buttons other than the standard menu "Share" and the directory tree. All actions - only the keyboard.

For true geeks stashed classic design theme that repeats the appearance of an old man Norton Commander or his ideological follower of Far Manager. But do not worry, the mouse also has support: Shift + click release files, scrolling is responsible for moving through the list.

Working with Files

Easy navigation in app provides multiple viewing modes: change the number of columns option filenames cuts not to mention the size of the panel. There is integration with Quick Look, working for a space and opens the preview window in the adjacent panel. You can view any documents and files, including various types of archives.

To search more than one filter is provided, there is integration with Spotlight. batch renaming feature includes a variety of masks and is useful in working with large data sets. To verify hash sums of files no longer need to use separate tools: all you need is in Nimble Commander. Attributes and file rights are usually governed by "The Terminal", but it can be done directly in the file manager.

Additional functions

Nimble Commander truly comprehensive tool, which is a good job, not only with their principal, but also with additional tasks. As it is implemented the ability to connect to remote FTP- and SFTP-servers for viewing and downloading files, and emulator "Terminal" and display various system information from the list of processes to the summary "This Mac ».

There Nimble Commander and a separate menu of creating symbolic and hard links. It is easier and more convenient than the "Terminal". Also useful Admin mode, which eliminates the need for any re-enter the command sudo when making or changing system files.

With the result that

I believe that Nimble Commander came out very successful. The developers did not try to please everyone at once, and precisely focused on the target audience - advanced users. Beginners view of the file manager can scare, but the real geeks who are crazy about the simplicity and functionality of Far Manager Total Commander, he just give the pleasure of working.

Nimble Commander worth 1890 rubles, which is not expensive for a good tool. In this case, the developer provides a 30-day trial to assess the application. It can be downloaded from the official site or from the Mac App Store (there is as yet under the old name Files).
