4Pane is a four pane detailed-list file manager for Linux. It is designed to be fully-featured without bloat, and aims for speed rather than visual effects. In addition to standard file manager things, it offers multiple undo and redo of most operations (including deletions), archive management including 'virtual browsing' inside archives, multiple renaming/duplication of files, a terminal emulator, and user-defined tools.

Recent releases


Release Notes: There is now a menu item called "Permanently Delete", which really deletes rather than just moving to a can. The selected pane now subtly highlights its header or the top of its toolbar to indicate that it has focus. I18n-related improvements were made, and there are now Italian and Danish translations provided.


Release Notes: It's now possible to overwrite files inside virtual archives (instead of only being able to store duplicates). The Options dialog has been altered, and this and several others made smaller so that they'll fit on a netbook screen. Various changes have been made to make 4Pane more locale-aware.


Release Notes: This release has a Quick-Grep dialog that provides the most common grep options on a single page. The original, multi-page Full-Grep is still available.


Release Notes: When mounting a removable device partition as root, 4Pane now attempts to give the user write permission. You can now choose, when moving/pasting a relative symlink, for its original target not to be retained. i18n is now supported. There are changes to help distribution packagers. In addition to previously-supported distributions, binaries are now available for Zenwalk, Puppy, and Damn Small Linux.


Release Notes: Despite being a beta release, all the features are fully working and stable.
A Transport Layer Security Library implementation.
