Local file browser in second panel #5538
Comments
The stance on this was always as described in No local file browser. This was previously requested in #11987, #12007. Related to #2648. |
Certainly that was the stance. The market has moved on since then. I realise that the software is supplied against the hope of donations, but making the facility available, especially when it is not available easily elsewhere is likely to improve the donation stream. |
...coming from the WinSCP world too, I think that this would be a great addition. |
PS: sorry if changing the target version breaks any rules here, but I am used to issue queues where new features are considered for and filed against next dev versions. |
This would be superb. Would you consider including it in a PRO version that you charge for in place of donations? Therefore you can still offer the features to those who require it and generate some guaranteed revenue for yourselves at the same time. |
+1 (if this annoys you install the track voting plugin) |
My ticket #8118 was closed as a duplicate, but was not really. I'm looking for a two pane server browser to manage files on my server much like midnight commander. I'm not looking for a Finder/Explorer replacement, but a way to re-arrange files graphically without complex mv commands or 'cutting', then migrating to a target directory and pasting. Midnight Commander has a big following among SSH users but it really can't do drag and drop, which is where the Duck could be a big advantage. |
I have tried Cyberduck and this feature is missing for me too. |
I used to have a PC and use WINSCP. It has one excellent feature that I have not found in any other suite, and I would like to propose it as a future enhancement.
With WINSCP I could open the source window in one panel and the target window in another, and either double click or drag the source files to the target. But it was even better than that!
If I chose 'synchronised browsing' then navigating in one panel performed the same action in the other panel. I could move around my source and target locations simultaneously. If a folder was absent in one panel it gave me the option to create it as part of the synchronised browsing dialog.
With Cyberduck I have to use finder as one panel and CD as the other. It means I have to be actively aware of where I am at all times in each window, and I can make imbecilic errors far too easily.
I'm not saying "Make a WINSCP", but it has awesome facilities that are worth incorporating alongside the best of Cyberduck. It's the one thing that is not as good about a Mac as a PC for me. I miss those facilities.
