Ghost Commander is a file manager for the Android™ platform with two panels. Its development was inspired by famous (Norton|Midnight|Total) Commander desktop applications, so if you are familiar with those great software, you will find the Ghost Commander  familiar and a very convenient environment.

As was said, it has two separate panels, each of them can show files from different locations of your choice. What does that give to you? For an example - when you need to copy files from one folder to another, you just select the files you need and hit the '5' key (Either on the physical keyboard or on the virtual toolbar). That's it. No need to do such boring steps as having to copy the files to the clipboard, navigate to the place you want them to be copied to, then paste and then go back.

All the main file operations in this application are bound to numerical keys, with the same numbers as in the well known prototype applications (Ex: "F5 copy" is just '5', "F6 move" is '6', etc ).

If your device is not enriched by a physical keyboard, no problem, the Ghost Commander has a virtual toolbar feature with all useful commands placed on it.

The last public version is 1.41 (see the history of changes)
