I’ve been using Krusader for a few months after looking for something similar to Double Commander which I used years ago, It’s been mostly great but I’ve been having a few issues mainly when transferring or archiving larger files.

I’ve found making zip & tar archives with in Krusader takes a lot longer than doing so in Dolphin, Also I’ve recently been having issues when trying to copy or move large amounts of data to separate drives, last night I had a transfer fail on me twice then take a lot longer than expected when I finally fixed that issue.

I’ve already looked back at double commander and some of it’s forks but stuff like most of them lacking a dark mode has been putting me off using them regularly. I’d ideally like it to be Qt based to it fits my KDE theming, But running a GTK program isn’t a deal breaker for me.

Any advice or ideas would be great thanks in advance!

Dolphin has a dual panel mode:

I’m not sure if it meets all your requirements, but Dolphin has a dual-panel mode if you press F3 and has lots of other configuration options as well

You can have dual panels in Dolphin…

I’ve been made aware, Guess I’m still to Windows brained I still automatically assume I need a completely new program to get features I wanted >.>

It does get a bit of getting used to (esp having only one sidebar) but I’m quite happy with Dolphin in dual panel mode.

I see that no one has suggested Doublecmd

Maybe Midnight Commander? I know it’s text based, but it’s really good.

Nemo can open a second pane. Never tried it myself though.
