Better late than never review....this is a really good file manger app. It is not like the others which uses the built in windoz copy and/or move functionality - kind of similar to the Directory Opus functionality.

I needed to copy and move some files between Windowz and Mac external drives and it was very efficient.

This is a must use/buy especially since Directory Opus is so expensive...a perpetual license with oMega is only $50 but it also has a "pay what you want" option for at little as $10 with minor updates within a year (if I read it correctly)

After a few days using it I've decided to uninstall it, its nowhere near as easy or logical to use as it should be.

Beautiful! Thank you very much.

... is it possible to set 'mouse double click' for 'level-up' navigation?

... just to make sure and stop looking for this feature: does oMega Commander have the possibility of opening multiple 'tabs' in each panel?

Thank you

I use Total Commander as my main file manager and this software seems to work like Total Commander with a fancier look and feel so I wanted to use it.

Turns out that it does not keep the current file list. When I click a tab, I expect to see a new file list while keeping the previous file list in the previous tab. It doesn't work that way. When you click a tab, you lose your current file list. This is nothing but annoying.

I don't know, perhaps there are some hotkeys or tricks to keep the file list when you jump to another file list, but this is obvioulsy not the main behaviour of the software.

This is rerally a very good looking software which I wanted to use, but unfortunaltely, I can't see the practical value.

meh, ain't got nuttin' on Directory Opus...

It's easy to set folder sizes to show in Total Commander, XYPlorer, Free Commander, even the minimalist XPlorer2 . Does anyone know how to get folder sizes shown along with file sizes in oMega Commander?

We are sorry about troubles some of you experienced during the registration procedure. Please understand that for the giveaway the same installer and application is offered as for official purchases, where customer's name is normally used for registration. The same installer can also be downloaded directly from our site.

As a little help you see in the giveaway description above in bold:

NB: 'How to get key data' is in the Readme file included into the package you download. Please, enter your e-mail (not NAME!!!) into the 'Name' field when registering the software.
Otherwise the key won't work.

We realize that nobody reads instructions nowadays. But we really didn't want to offer a different experience for oMega Commander giveaway users by offering a dedicated giveaway package and forcing them to reinstall it, should you want to help us with further development by purchasing a license.

Also sorry for the confusion about House/Home button/tab. We'll work on improving that too.

If you do still experience troubles registering oMega Commander 3.0, please follow visual registration instructions:

Thank you!

WHY does it keep saying New version of Sublime Text is available? DL now

Great program. There's a big stack of plugins for it here: http://totalcmd.net/directory/packer.html
If anyone has used any and can recommend them, please do.

Can't find the start with windows & replace current ui in the settings.

Hey tried to register twice - followed instructions. got invalid key each time.

What to do?

I can't believe the developer hasn't been on here to pin a comment.

The Home button you want is not the Home tab, but the button at the far left top. Click that and then About.

Use the same email where you got the registration key as your name.

Copy and paste the very long key.

Looks like a good program, BUT kept getting "Sorry, the license key is incorrect"
copied and pasted from the email, can't be at this end. I know I pasted correctly.

Any suggestions?

Interestingly, this supports add-ons/plug-ins, apparently including some "packers" (archivers/file compressors) intended for Total Commander:

Totally best and fastest double window manager!

Like: fontsize of filenames and menu's can be adapted as needed-> works well on high density display's. Portable installation possible you can add a link to start if needed. Both 32 and 64 bit installation available. Dark background interface possible. links to common used accesseries and tools.
Suggestion: compare directories and files like windiff and beyond compare. choice between menu's and ribbon

My help file in Russian!
How do i make slideshow?

Installation:

Fyll i: https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/omega-commander-2/get-license/ email med små bokstäver!

Tryck på gröna knappen, filen laddas ner, Zippa upp filen, Läs: readme.txt, kör installfilen

(Jag valde portable, då strulade det lite: fick skapa C:\Program Files\oMega Commander\Settings själv & sätta rättigheter till alla användare på mappen, och sedan köra om installationen (utan att avinstallera först).

Starta programmet, fyll i utseende, tryck Home - Registrera, Fyll i samma epost med små bokstäver & koden du fått i mail.

Important...does this replace Windows Explorer in Windows 7? If I choose the portable version? If I install on Windows 7 can I use the portable version on my laptop Windows 10 ? (laptop not set up yet)

Thank you for your help in advance!

where do you put the license key in program

I had all sorts of problems registering the program, but eventually realised that I had a previous version of oMega Commander installed. Once I uninstalled that one and did a fresh install with today's Giveaway it registered without a problem.

opposite to some comments, registration was ABSOLUTELY flawless.. The trick in here, is to follow readme.txt instructions. Received e-mail with the key INSTANTLY. Faster that I could get to it. Enter the registered e-mail, copy the lllooonnnggg key, from first to last character, paste it and DONE!!!
Impossible for me to figure out how this can go wrong!!!
Thanks Pylonos and GAOTD. Updated my 2.3 version.
mario

Downloaded and installed.
Filled in name and email, fot a license key but nthe key gives an error.
Tried 3 timesµ

I too am having problems with the registration key not being accepted

I haven't found anyway to show all folder sizes. If this is impossible, I'd stick with XYPlorer or the free FreeCommander

The registration process was quite smooth for me.
1) go to the register page from readme file to request the key
2) get the key from the email and copy the license key
3) run the program, click the home button on the top left, and then click register from the pulldown menu
4) enter the email address and paste the license key

good luck!

Unable to register with code sent via email. Restarted program and tried again, and again, and again. Useless if I can't register it.

Please note the readme file states clearly you have to fill in your email address and not your name when registering. I'm sure that will solve a few issues here - it did mine.

I too am having problems with the registration key not being accepted. I have tried two different e-mail addresses without success.

Nice program with a lot of nice tools. I agree the reg process is a super pain. I copied the page and tried for 20 min to get to it. Turned out I had left off the last back slash to get to the page. Once I fixed that it was easy.

oMega Commander looks like it will be a good addition to my toolbox of PORTABLE programs! Very customizable and versatile program. Easy registration if you follow the instructions. Developer is to be commended for a nice progam and for providing lifetime license. Really should play up the portable option in the description - I have used only portable programs for a couple years now. ALL programs should be portable. System stays SOOOO much more stable without constant tweaking in Windows already fragile registry.

Thank you Pylonos and GiveawayOfTheDay!

I've got this program from the past giving. Nice program.
It has got various useful features in the upper and lower menu line of it for system and fast getting needed field, in addition to media viewer.

But like past file manager from yesterday, it does not show the PSD file like an image, with showing how it looks.
Also, here it doesn't work F3 function for listening to audio, or watching video clips, like in Freecommander. My version does not have such function (if new has...)
If authors will add such functions and correct some other features, it would be great program.

But at the moment, free Freecommander (has audio-player and video-player inside) is having the 1st place in my list.
Though oMega has got more useful features.

In any case, thanks to the authors and dear giveawayoftheday for possibility to have and to use it.

Installed easily and Registered right away. No problems. Looks like a very useful program. Thank you Pylonos and GAOTD.

Installed. Could not find the register key. (Although having followed the direction as clicking HOME but nothing appeared). Uninstalled the first time.
Installed again, and failed to register again. And again.
I quit after having installed three times.
The registration of this program is so complex unnecessarily.
Thank you anyway.

If you install this will you still have normal access to Windows Explorer and just have this as an available alternative ?

Installed fine as Version 3.0.47 Build 5687. I've looked everywhere, but my display looks nothing like the examples above. When I click on a file, the right pane shows text. Nowhere (that I can find), can I get a viewer so that if I'm clicking on a .jpg for example, I see that jpg in the view. I just get text.

This is a very complex piece of software. Hundreds of options. Be prepared to spend a lot of time learning it.

Downloaded and installed. Followed directions and received license key. Entered email address (not name) and copied and pasted the long license key into the box. Got the message "wrong key". What do I need to do to get a license key which will work?

"Sorry, the license key is incorrect"
copied and pasted from the email, can't be at this end

No problems with installation, not sure if I like it, but I'll keep it and see if I can get my head around something different.
My previous computer had PowerDesk, maybe I shouldn't compare the two.

First, if you missed yesterday's giveaway Explorer Max (or if the reg link didn't work), this is much more advanced and more usable replacement.
There is huge list of features built in and its not just a windows explorer, but provided multiple app shortcuts, color coding of folders, tabbed view and dual view, with inbuilt archiving and so on...
please visit their feature page to know more...

Also it provides you the option to install as a portable version. This doesn't replace the existing explorer (Win+E may be hidden in setting but need to explore)
It has multiple color mores and the dark mode is really cool to use.

As I had mentioned earlier, its bunch of multiple tools in a easy to use manner and the developer had clearly mentioned the same in their website as their objective.
- Has inbuilt secure delete option which might be useful for some though not always.
- Splitting of files and joining them, but i believe for joining we need to use oMega itself. We usually split files to share in packages to another person, but if they don't have oMega then the concept of splitting is not fruitful here.

I would conclude my review with saying that oMega is King of all Explorer Commanders, and a very good replacement for windows explorer but not a fully replacement for other tools. For a light weight users this will full package in a single tool, but for experts this will be a good replacement for windows explorer.

Thanks GAOTD Team and oMega Devs for todays Giveaway

Installed without any issues. This is a really good piece of software, has a shed load of functions, is fast and a nice clear GUI and looks like the developer has put a lot of thought in to the software. So far I can't see anything I don't like about oMega Commander. Thank you.
