"One Commander" is a file manager for Windows OS with improved functionality, re-imagined user interface and experience of navigating and manipulating file-system. Previously it was known as "bitCommander".

One Commander requires Windows 7 or Windows 8! Following dependencies might be already present on your system (except Camera Coded Pack) but we recommend upgrading to latest versions anyway.

1. Upgrade to latest .NET 4.5 (you should already have it)

2. Download VS2012 Redistributables (you should already have it)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=30679

3. Install Microsoft Camera Codec Pack (Already installed on Windows 8 but you may update)
Windows 7: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=26829
Windows 8 x64 upd: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=41376
Windows 8.1 upd: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=41337
Download portable (only) version: 32bit, 64bit.
Important: Do not extract One Commander in "Program Files" folder! Windows does not allow non-installed programs there and it will crash.

There is no classic installation for Beta version. It is portable so you can use it on different computers running it from your USB drive or Dropbox folder (as long as you have .NET4.5 and VS2012 Redistributables installed). One Commander has easy update system to make weekly updates take less than 10 seconds.

Recommended to "Run as Administrator"
I'm simply amazed by this one right now... definitely have to take a closer look!
Tested v1.0.0: Portable, not stealth (leaves behind a folder in AppData).

Update: This program is still in development, now at version 2.6.4.5. Requires Windows 10 and .NET 4.6.2 framework, but a legacy version supports Windows 7 and 8.x. Version 3 is in beta, nothing portable there yet. The program has a free vs. pro version but I can't see if that's just a commercial use difference or what.

Status: My testing rig doesn't have the required dotNET version so I haven't been able to test.

The softpedia screenshots show a remarkable amount of customization, including how much to dedicate to system resources (e.g. if you do a lot with images, you will want to boost the energy put towards thumbs/metadata). I appreciate this from programs, though I'd like the ability to just ouright turn off any and all interface animation. It's very rarely done well nor is it consistent across different systems or when burdened by a heavy task load.
