About twice the price of Total Commander? It sure is expensive. Well, if it is still afloat then worth it to some people.

Rolls Royce File Manager = Directory Opus.
Price = also Rolls Royce.

Thanks! I managed to completely miss that, looked for that setting few times and still… Updated post accordingly.

Copy via Windows is probably largest downside for me as well. It is simply to unreliable and lack features like queuing that are a must.

@Ladron

Yep, unfortunately many of good file managers are shareware. It isn’t hard to create file manager but it is hard to get it right and fast.

While the icon re-drawing is a problem FC is still a good file manager, one that I’ve used for several years now. One that I find even better is XYplorer (shareware) although $42 and good for only one upgrade version. =/

Right click selection method (Extras->Settings->Select Items->NC-Mode). “Windows native routines for file operations” remain biggest downside for me.
