Minimalist file manager application that comes with a two pane interface and offers you the possibility to perform actions using the function keys. #File manager #Manage files #Dual-pane manager #Manager #Manage #Dual-pane
The task of managing files within macOS is handled by default through the Finder application, but even though you can work with multiple tabs, you need to open multiple windows to see two directories at the same time.
Marta is a small application that offers you the possibility to perform these actions through a dual-pane interface. The utility resembles the classic TotalCommander file manager for Windows and allows you to run tasks by using the function keys.
Within the Marta main window, you get to see two folders side by side and easily navigate through subdirectories. You can do that by using the arrow keys or your mouse. Worth mentioning is that Marta can deal with multiple volumes and that you can open the respective menu by using the Command + 1 keyboard combination.
In the top area of the window, above each pane, you get to see the path to each folder and choose to sort, ascendant or descendant, the files list by name, extension, size, or modification date.
In the bottom area of Marta’s main window, you get to see to functions supported by the app, together with the associated function key or keyboard shortcut: Open with (Command + Return), Edit (F4), Copy (F5), Move (F6), Rename (Shift + F6), New Directory (F7). or Delete (F8).
Marta will launch new panels so you can confirm the action or input any additional information, for example when renaming files. Note that Marta does not come with a Preferences window, but you can customize the app’s behavior by editing its conf.json file.
Bottom line, Marta offers you the possibility to navigate two folders at the same time and see both the source and target directory when performing actions.
To see the complete list of tasks that you can perform, make sure to visit the online documentation provided by the developer.
