Sorry about the subject, but i couldn't stop myself from re-hijacking
So, what's so great about dual pane? I'm really curious because I never ever
missed it myself.
For me it's something I got used to for ages. And as most things to do
with a file manager are source to destination operations - it is a very
natural kind to work. Inside my favorite file manager (OT) I could
switch to single pane at any moment with a single keystroke. But I
never feel the urge to do so, because I see *all* needed information on
*both* sides.
The most important point why I generally advice the use of dual pane file
managers is my experience that single pane users tend to prefer mouse
to keyboard. Especially novice users do horrible things within Explorer
without even noticing. Inside dual pane they see the results, generally.
That has very healthy effects! ;-)
If I pilot a user via phone through file operations I can see to *very*
predefined conditions on dual pane managers. While I can steer even an
absolut beginner on phone when (s)he has a NC compatible manager open,
and am *sure* to achieve the wanted results, I found it *much* more
difficult to do the same within Explorer. I don't know how well your
TrackerV3 supports keyboard control. But even if it does: It's very
own philosophy of usability will most certainly require a specialized
set of key combinations. If somebody tells me on phone he has a dual
pane manager open, than I know (regardless which brand it is) that it
will support some basic keystrokes. That's more than just 'handy'.
It's a *must have* feature... ;-)
Nevertheless: Keep up your work! Considering *many* previous posts in
this group - your TrackerV3 is quiet popular. And although I don't
think this program will be something for *my* desk, it sure can help
people with *other* favorite working methods.
