What is Reddit's opinion of muCommander?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Well one of the nice things about Linux is you can replace bits. I already have another file browser that I like a bit more but not perfect. Just found this too, more like what I'm looking for. http://www.mucommander.com might give it a try.

Best answer is use Boot Camp or a VM with Windows on it, or get a PC. You're seeing the downfall of using a software driver for a non-native file system. My guess is Finder may not work with the NTFS driver. You could try an alternative file browser- I've had good luck with muCommander. If you don't want to do any of the above, you could try a different NTFS driver, but the good ones are expensive and they still have compatibility issues.

If you don't mind the fact that it's Java based, I like to use muCommander on occasion. Either that or Far Manager, as Spire recommended earlier.

For starters (my opinion) any older Mac should have the highest OS update possible o that Mac.

For this Mac that is probably High Sierra.

But to address your current problem. First establish that the HD is actually failing (HD's have a limited lifespan too), use Disk utility first to check and repair the HD, make sure that "show all devices" option is enabled in Disk utility.

Also DL a SMART utility (free)

If the HD fails, perhaps with free FTP desktop software you can copy the important information to any destination.

mucommander can help you with that.

(FTP is a kind of old back-bone of the internet, it can only copy files, but is good at it)

I do not use Mac, so my comment may be useless for you, but here it is just in case. I personally find that organizing the file/directory structure itself to be more flexible than any software that hopes to outdo that structure.

How about mucommander? It's a free, open-source, cross-platform Commander-style browser with no frills but lots of keyboard shortcuts and flexibility.

I hear XtraFinder adds in several features that people like as well, such as tabs, built-in shell, and global hotkeys.

That said, I use simple folders, such as _inbox, _projects, and _reference as my top level, with a single text document or outline as the only file at the top level (which contains lists and my "dashboard").

Within _reference, I have separated by the type of file, such as audiobooks, books, camera, graphics (i.e. Not my photos), music, videos, etc., and then by topic. I personally prefer to have all videos together, then subdivided by "movies", "music videos", "diy_home_repair", etc.).

Within _projects, I either copy or link to longstanding reference information if related, or make a note within the project support document (usually a basic outline, if the project is big enough to even require one).

Hope something here helps... I do not use tags, because keeping them airtight and 100% up-to-date is too time-consuming for me.
