BeCommander
is as Genesis Commander alternative tools
to Tracker when it come
to file management. If you are to move a large number of files arround
on your system. These two tools can be good alternatives to the Tracker.
It therefore make sence to add shortcuts the Tracker and also the
Terminal. When opening the Tracker or the Terminal,
they will be opened in the active directory in BeCommander. BeCommander's
window is divided in to two smaller windows. These windows are listing
the content of their directories. The paths of the directories are
shown above the two windows (in the screenshot below as /boot/home).

Below the two windows you can see the total size of the selections
you make and the total size of the directory you are in. In addition
to this, you can see how many files you have selected and how many
files there are in the directory.
From the windows (panes) you can copy, move and delete files and
directories. The application also supports drag
& drop and for those who rather works with the keyboard, keyboard
shortcuts are implemented.

In the File menu you will find typical Tracker tasks: When
you have selected a file you can form this menu choose to Open
or Rename it. You can also in the same way as in the
Tracker Get Info
about the file. Some of the same information is also shown in
the panes, as date of when the file was last changed and the permissions
set on the file. You can also choose to Delete the file or
the file selection, and then straight afterwards choose to Empty
Trash so that the files don't occupie space.

BeCommander comes with an integrated FTP
client that supports upload and download of files. You can also
remotely delete files and directories. These commands are the same
as standard file operations in BeCommander.
By default BeCommander opens with two smaller windows (panes),
but you can open as many windows as you like by choosing Add
Pane.
As you are working with a journaling file system, you might want
to do a query. An example
would be finding all files of a surtant date.
