Double Commander Mac Download: A Plea for Cross-Platform Collaboration

As a Linux user myself, I've grown accustomed to the convenience of free software updates. However, I recently made the switch to macOS and discovered that all OSX users would be new customers, not simply receiving free updates like their Linux counterparts. This got me thinking about the potential profitability of developing Total Commander for Mac.

While the Linux community tends to be skeptical of paid software, there are frameworks available in Delphi that could make Total Commander cross-compilable. This led me to wonder if Ghisler and company might be interested in collaborating with a developer skilled in OSX and Linux coding to port Total Commander to these platforms.

Total Commander is written in Delphi 2, a derivative of Pascal, which poses no significant challenge for cross-platform development. In contrast, Double Commander, a worthy clone of Total Commander, can already be compiled cross-platform thanks to its use of Free Pascal toolkits. While Double Commander shows promise, it's unfortunately plagued by slow development and bugs.

In the meantime, muCommander stands as the most reliable alternative. As I've grown accustomed to my new Mac setup, I'm eager to see Total Commander arrive on this platform. Despite past rejections, I believe there's a genuine need and desire for Total Commander on Mac and Linux operating systems.

I hope Ghisler and company will consider collaborating with a developer to bring Total Commander to the masses across multiple platforms. By doing so, they can tap into the profitable OSX market while also satisfying the long-standing demand from Linux users like myself.
