Directory Opus – King of the Dual Panes

Personally I never really got into dual-pane Directory Opus but Directory Opus 5 sure was a fabulous total replacement for Workbench, I think I used that from the time I got it until I finally left my Amiga for a Mac. Ever since moving to OSX my Macs have mostly run in column view.

I wonder how lost I would be if I still had my A1200 and could turn it on to try and poke at my personalized DOpus5 setup. It's been a little more than twenty years; what was once muscle memory is probably just vague hints of "this used to be a thing I did".

Actually DOpus was the only dual pane Filemanager (maybe with the exception of Ghostcommander on android lately) I actually got used to and was really fond of. I still wonder how working with floppy disks (two drives and a 4MB ram extension in my case) was so smooth in my memory.

I'm a huge fan of DOpus on Windows. Double Commander is the closest I've found for Linux (it has gtk and qt5 versions for Gnome and KDE).
