I have already said why this program's concept is seriously misdirected. Now, from other users, I read the following complaints :

- There's no tree view.
- There's no proper help offered, either within the product or online.

If this is true, then the program is totally useless. Il have checked the publisher's website, and under "Support", there's... absolutely nothing. Except an email address. It's supposed to be a support address, however the site says it's there only for "comments and suggestions". So, one-way communication, not two-way.

The online FAQ is minimal. There's a "Features" pages which is quite developed, to the point of looking like a quick tutorial. However, it's not a user manual or knowledge base, by a long, long way. There's no user forum.

Slick site, flashy software with too many colours, but nothing suggesting this is a tool a serious power user should invest time and effort into getting to learn.

Can't get a key even from different mail addresses.
Says "500 - Internal Server Error"

I use Directory Opus, That's all i need it's not Free but works Great, i will try this anyway, also used Total Commander and XYPlorer 16.10 But i like Directory Opus Been Around Since the Commodore Amiga Computers, i use what i know Best.
Mark

for me, a lot of steps, but the whole process for this s/w is very smooth.
yet to explore it, look like it is a useful tool.
thanks, GOTD & the publisher.

Where can I get the serial? This link doesn't work, i see "inter server error"

For those who can't live without "tree" view, try XYPlorer. The latest version has just been launched. You may download it from its official home site or here: http://j.gs/8lr7

No installation required, simply extract it to anywhere.

Power users may find scripting support makes life easier!

In the screenshot, it says "31 finded in 6 files". It should be "31 found in 6 files". Not sure how such a simple thing was missed by the testing team and released.

Installed as portable, but getting a lot of can't find messages. Among them, on exit I got: File "D:\Program Files\oMega Commander\Settings\Users\Wins.ini"
save error!

Needs tabbed folders in each pane.

The ability to have 6 - 8 tabbed folders in each pane allows switching from one folder to another to be incredibly fast and easy.

I couldn't find this feature in the program.

As usual, by following the instructions in the README file, I had NO trouble downloading, installing, and registering this program. ((do get rather annoyed when I'm trying to find out how people like a program, but have to scan past 20 paragraphs of "How do I register this program?" because they didn't bother to read the readme.}} ANYWAY, this is a nice clear program. I like the options available for the color contrast on the pages, and I am also very impressed by the number of functions available here. I very much like the split view. I am also extremely impressed that I was able to load it onto my main computer and a thumb drive - no problems at all. Thanks so much, GAOTD and Pylonos!

My browsers IE and Crome (Windows 7) say "Error HTTP 500" when trying to get the code (after successful verification that "I'm not a robot". GOTD, please help me!. Any ideas?

After an hour and multiple attempts trying to get activation code, I received it. I can't believe I am asking this, but where do you activate it? I don't see Help, about, ?..... etceteras....... Bill

oMega Commander is a very versatile file manager with a large amount of functions.
However the help.chm and online help is sorely lacking to help use and customize this application.

I tried to use Software Informer for suggenstions; but I could not get it to work for me.

Below are some suggestions:

- Allow to open more than 2 panels.
- Allow to customize color palette for the UI.
- Screen Capture tool to capture the display in each panel with scrolling if necessary.
- Actions => Copy/save file list should at least include the size and date.
- List Detailed View option to be able to select additional columns like display of date created and date modified (and other types of attributes similar to Windows explorer)
- Ability to rename multiple selected files.
- Need more detailed help.chm file.
- Ability to easily add your own search engine under the "Web" menu selection
or to change the search engines listed [ie to ixquick.com]
- Ability to connect to a secure ftp site to upload or download files
- Ability to connect to a directory of a drive on a remote host on another network
- Explorer style tree view is really needed as mentioned by others.

Thanks for the giveaway

DESPITE doing EXACTLY what I should do, (I've downloaded hundreds of free software from here! and I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM!!!) I get this: Sorry, the license key is incorrect!
It CAME FROM THE STUPID COMPANY! I did not make this registration number!
I see several people stating that they had to put their email address into the name field - I DID!!!
Why would you let us have this application and NOT LET US REGISTER IT??????????????
DUMB!

I would say, do not install this application!

Okay! Took me a few minutes to find out _where_ to enter the registration info, but finally clicked on the "Home" button and found it in the menu that opened. Have only tried a little, but it looks like a keeper with a lot of features not found in other file managers (or at least not all in one program). Thanks, GAotD and Pylonos!

REGISTRATION KEY DOESN'T WORK!!! I've tried copying and pasting both the Giveawayoftheday page AND the e-mail I was sent. Same thing- it doesn't work! HELP PLEASE!!!

Please help! I'm getting the following error "500 - Internal Server Error" after i place my name and email on the registration page:

https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/omega-commander/get-software-key/

GOTD is this an error on your side? I've tried two different browsers and the same error message.

Where do you input the ser#? Can't find under all of your 100+ menus!

Can't get the registration to work. I was sent the reg email, but program says "Sorry, the license key is incorrect!". Tried it with my full name, then without my middle initial. Looks neat, but this giveaway isn't working. Can I get help fixing this?

Not a knock on today's giveaway but just wondering why we would need it? Managing files and folders in Windows seems easy enough and so is Linux.

Installed and registered,no problems,Portable,as well.Install runs fine as long as you follow directions reiterated here in comments section,particularly enter email address for registration.Again,READ INSTRUCTIONS.Two things that strike me as a good sign are: program,upon install,asks you if you want it included at Windows startup(which I almost NEVER want),and it is portable.Looks like a welcome addition to my file explorers,haven't given it a test spin yet,am in a rush.Tree view is not necessarily a beal-buster,for me.Thanks,GOTD,and Pylonos !!!

Even though I put US English in the Quick Start - the help file comes up in another language. How can I change this?

The "Move" and "Copy" command work backwards from normal. Which is odd and I haven't found out how to make that work in the normal way.

Is there a way?

When I drag a file (on the same drive) to a new location I am moving it normally, not copying it. Having to press the shift key is odd and I wish it would function like other file managers in this regard.

This software isn't going to replace my file/folder explorers any time soon:
- No tree view
- No file preview -- quick view shows file in hexadecimal format -- rarely needed
- Cannot include file extension in file name

That said, the GUI interface is quite impressive; for example, see copy file, filter.

Bradzo fajny program

Hi,

Got the activation code but 'sceams' incorrect ... Have tried with a diff mail, still incorrect. Please advise as currently my installed SW is not registered. THANX

Additional.
I sent for a 3rd reg code, and used a different email to get it. That finally worked. What a pain in somewhere. I probably should have just given up, as the fonts for the info line are too small to read without cheaters on. I probably won't ever use it.

I have entered 3 different email addresses in the name field, used total uppercase, used all lowercase, tried to get a different reg code, nothing works.
Yes the name field is for email address. I know that. All I get is sorry the license key is incorrect.
To show you I can read
To register the software click on House icon (top left corner)-->About-->Registration. Enter your E-mail into the 'Name' field and the key into the corresponding field.

See I read it.

The download link takes me to a 404 ... using chrome and IE 11 ... Win 10 64 bit .. any suggestions?

(Could you send me a download link via email?)

How do I set opening folders with a mouse click

How do I set opening folders with a mouse click?

At first i thought ...

rubbish of this ... until i downloaded it and checked it out !!!

ummm ... .. .

i'm keeping this (oMega Commander 2.3.14) .

Please I can't find where the key is to register the free version.
I go to register and put my email in the name field,but I don't know where to find the key. Please help.
I am afraid today's offer will expire before I can register it. Thanks.

I have researched this program in the past, and I have been put off by two things : its downright offensive colours in the user interface, and its (seemingly) too important possibilities for customisation.

I wish more developers would understand that less is more, and that throwing everything and the kitchen sink at hapless users is not the way to help them achieve whatever they are trying to do.

I'm sure some people might say : why don't you change the colours to suit you, that's customisable also, but that's my point : don't offer a bad product that has to be repaired by the customer before being usable.

Take example in Windows 7 Explorer : it's clean, minimal and beautiful. Granted, it lacks some possibilites, and that's where alternative file managers are useful. But don't spoil the broth by paiting it in multiple colours, which are too many to begin with, ugly by themselves to boot, and not playing along well with each other.

If you want to get an idea of what's a palette of colours in harmony with each other, see here :

http://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker

Also, what's wrong with black and white, plus maybe one or two colours ? That's the way people read books for centuries. What makes you think it was a bad idea ?

Finally, a software developer must take sides. He must chose how he wants his software to be, because, after careful research, he thinks he has built a better mousetrap. Then let the user be the judge. Throwing everything at the user's face and telling him this is a DIY project, make it as you like, does not cut the mustard.

It is very difficult to find your files without tree structure.
Under documents folder, I have over 100 sub folders and
can not get to them easy since there are over 1000 files in each sub-folder.
There are lots of free and portable software that does fantastic job for me.
I'll skip this one, it looks to colorful and childish and how many people edit
java files these days that this software offers?

how to get the code?????

When I click on the Home (circle) button, all I can see is the drop-shadow of the menu I should be seeing.

Any ideas?

What is the LINK to get activation code? The link given takes you back to GAOTD, Thanks if someone can help me!

I use this commander and I like it. What is the difference this version and the free version freely downloadable from their website?

says my key is invalid

If I reinstall the system, can be used again and email code? Or only applies today? Thanks.

Could anybody provide a comprehensive comparison report between this GAOTD software and the famous free and regularly updated Total Commander by Ghisler with a lot of very useful plugins. I read that oMegaCommender does not offer a tree view (which in my opinion disqualifies any software provider of file managers today regardless of whether this feature is used permanently or occasionally). I read this GAOTD has problems with proper sorting of files (how about sorting folders by name, date, size, etc.)? Are any useful plugins available for free? And how about customisation of the interface, shortcuts Etc. etc.?

When I click on the Home (circle) button, all I can see is the drop-shadow of the menu I should be seeing.

Any ideas?

For registration, the email address is CASE SENSITIVE. Try entering it in upper case. That's what finally worked for me.

I am using XYplorer 17 for these kind of job.
I am looking for a nice File Manager because Win7 doesn't separate the folders once it is open; like it does in Win xp and Win 10 sucks big time (i feel handicapped using Win 10). So i think it desperately needs a file manager all Win 7, 8 & 10. But this file manager isn't that impressive, it doesn't preview file and folder's in list and doesn't sorts them with similar .ext.
I had some hopes for this software. Plus it is 4 MB bigger than XYplorer.

No "Tree View"?
Alexa could you please elaborate this?

Many people are being misled by the registration process asking for your NAME. It should read EMAIL ADDRESS.
This is probably why the code is being rejected. I was fooled too!

installed without any problem is portable personal licence is for 5 pc's, i prefer a tree view. The interface uses topbar to identify the location of where you are. needs some time to play with but it looks good

I went to the website and have a hard time understanding some things. this sentence was there, copy and pasted:

How to say the developers, Omega specially designed in such a way as to act a certain control center for synergies between different applications on the PC.
