You should try Derek Smart’s Desktop Commander instead.

sudo apt-get update yealds:
“W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 8B27EF50B0A5707D”
a bit frustrated here. 🙂
Packages for Lucid seem to be there, but nothing for Maverick as of this morning.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexx2000/doublecmd/ubuntu/pool/main/d/doublecmd/
its homepage is http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/ (always nice to have that in a posting) Its ‘cross platform’ in that it seems to have windows 32 and 64bit versions also.
It also seems to have qt and gtk versions. Im downloading the debs right now to test it out. Since the ppa repo dosent seem to be working right.
how do in UnInstall it?
How do you get the program menus to display in English?
