  • Improved the HTTP filesystem: better HTML/XHTML detection, follows links correctly.
  • Free space indicator now changes color gradually adjusted free space warning threshold.
  • Adjusted the layout of the main window to some save screen estate around the toolbar. Contributed by Radomír Černoch.

I used the linux equivalent of this program for years. It's well worth it to give it a try... you'll be surprised how intuitive it is, in spite of what most would call it's "un-mac-like" interface.

I've been using MUCommander to browse inside .zip files without having to decompress them first. This feature alone makes it worth having around. It saved me hours when all I needed was to find a specific image inside a 675MB .zip archive...

One of the few positive things I remember about a job I had where I was moving files around a pre-networked office was that Norton Commander made the job a lot easier. muCommander does a good job of presenting a Norton Commander style presentation of your hard disk, and a lot more besides. You'll see lots of things in this app that you'll wish the Finder included.

I think it should be possible to integrate Quicklook, because CyberDuck has Quicklook integration too...

I really like it! The only thing it lacks that I use quite a lot is quicklook integration. I know that's asking quite a lot though and I'm not even sure if it's possible.

Very nice, basically does all I want. Gets 4 stars because of the long startup time for a 2 meg program (well it's Java...) and the ugly icon.

Well it's not as nice as pathfinder:

but it is free. For those that enjoy the old Norton Commander it is a close resemblance. The icon needs desperate help though, yikes.

Ahhh how i've missed NCommander... Good to see something similar on mac now. I really can't remember what features old NCommander had but.. this app is a helpful gem.

And damn those zealots like ZO219: His/her comment isn't even worth being called a comment, rather a troll post. Norton Commander was just a program for Windows, being coded from, you guessed it, Norton, not Microsoft.
