Crax Commander, stylized CRAX, is a dual pane, orthodox file manager for Mac OS X, written in the programming language Objective-C. The app is currently developed by Soft4U2 (Marcin Słowik)[1] and is one of several replacement apps for Apple's Finder.

The program's look is similar to Finder, and it has many features and functions, so it is usable quickly as a replacement.[2]

The software uses the model of a dual-pane user interface, which is well-known from the domain of the Windows applications such as Total Commander. This approach assumes offering multi-tab browsing user interface with features enabling advanced search of files or folders, comparing files and folders, navigation in archive files, and a batch renaming tool with regular expression support. Such programs also include a built-in File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client, working with local and network drives, and a built-in file editor and viewer.[3][4][5][6][7]

Crax Commander improves productivity by offering user configurable keyboard shortcuts, built-in text editor with sync coloring, full user interface customizing including fonts and colors, archive support, and built in File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Server Message Block (SMB), Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), SSH File Transfer Protocol (SSH), and SSH File Transfer Protocol (sFTP).[8]

The program is available in demo and paid versions and provides many tools that will help users to manage files and folders while exploiting the dual-pane graphical user interface design.[9][10]

History
