Your favourite Amiga filemanager/directory tool
What is your favourite Amiga filemanager?
I think I know what the results will be (Dopus winning), but I'd like to see the numbers. If you use a filemanager that is not listed, please specify and explain why you like it best. Maybe this poll will help others find good filemanagers they didn't know existed. I suppose this poll will also show how many people use their Amiga for more than just games. I voted for ABCdir. Even though it's old, I've never found anything better. (...and I hate Dopus) see my ABCdir screenshot here: http://www.amiga.org/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=2176 Last edited by mr_a500; 20 April 2006 at 22:02. |

Filemaster 2.2+ or 3.1 (less stable), simple, efficiency, easy to configure, fast, run on kick1.3 as well as 3.1... it remember several directory listing (10 per windows). One of my essential tools
PS : done by Toni Wilen, don't know if it's the same that made WinUae |

Dopus is very average straight out of the box, but when you get used to its configuration interface you can create a really powerful setup.
I admit, there are other good file managers but I've invested so much time setting up Dopus that I couldn't change as it does everything I want. For the PC I just couldn't live without Windows/Total Commander, all because of being used to working with configurable Amiga directory tools. |

I still use DOpus 4 on the Amiga (I never really got into the later versions) and the Windows version of DOpus on my laptop and at work.

I used xlent from cachet (part of the xcopy tools), it's small and handy. And of course dopus with all the individual config possibilities.

Maybe it would be good if people could post screenshots of different filemanagers. I'm sure most of these filemanagers look better after they have been configured.

ya all mad as maggots...
the only utility worth using was and still is SID2... file managers should be fast and snappy not bloated and suggesting a kitchen sink is what you need... |

"DirWork" (version 1.62, I think) used to do everything I needed, and was quite compact as a piece of code, so I never actually bothered about any alternative.
