Ghost commander also good. It did transfers that made fossify file manager crash.

It's an interesting app. I kinda like it a don't at the same time. It has a lot to offer, but needs some polishing.

The lack of polish is part of the charm for me. I always thought all the commander style programs looked kinda bad, in the good function over form kind of way.

Well I don't mean aesthetics, its just buttons and layout are a bit awkward. And other aspects. I can check and see what exactly bothers me so I can follow up with specifics.
