<h2>1. Common questions</h2>
<p class="bold"><a name="whatisit">Q: What is a Double Commander?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Double Commander&nbsp;&mdash; is a cross-platform file manager with two panels.
Details see <a href="about.html">here.</a></p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="whatsnew">Q: What's new in this version?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> History log can be found online at <a href="http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/site/eng/news.html">this</a> page. But now the project is under development so last <a href="http://www.firebirdsql.su/dc/">nightly builds</a> contain many new features and improvements.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="linux">Q: It is a Total Commander® for Linux, yes?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> No, this is another program from other developers. Now supports OS Windows® and GNU/Linux with toolkits GTK2 and Qt. In the future, quite possibly support for other operating systems like Mac OS.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="wincmd">Q: What is the difference between this program and my favorite Total Commander®?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> The goal of the project&nbsp;&mdash; to create a program, close to the TC via the maximum compatible with it to the plugins and configuration files. But Double Commander has some important advantages: it's free to use, works with different operating systems, and open source.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="opsys">Q: I have a 64-bit Operating System. Can I download Double Commander for it?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Yes, builds for x64 exist under both supported platforms.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="link">Q: How can I contact the developers of Double Commander?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> Just write to the official project's <a href="http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/forum/">forum</a> and developers, possibly, have pay attention to yours suggestion.</p>

<div class="SECT1">
<h2>2. Issues related to GNU/Linux</h2>
<p class="bold"><a name="version">Q: Which version do I download?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> If you have KDE - download a Qt-build, other case (Gnome, Xfce, LXDE) build for GTK toolkit.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="repo">Q: Where is the project repository?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> There is no the repository yet. But you can download installation packages deb, rpm or "portable" (binaries packed with bz2) from the official site. Also you can download the source code and compile DC by yourself.</p>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="plugins">Q: Plugins from Total Commander® does not work!?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> They work, but not all. Plugins from TC compiled for Windows®. Therefore, they could be use only with Windows® version of Double Commander. But if plugin have an open source code, you can try to build it for GNU/Linux (or ask the plugin developer to do it :)).</p>

<h2>3. Interface configuration</h2>
<p class="bold"><a name="color">Q: How can I change color settings for the panels?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> To change the color, you must do the following:</a></p>
<ul>
<li><p>Configurations&nbsp;&rarr; Options&nbsp;&rarr; Colors (but first you must create own columns style)</p></li>
<li><p>Configurations&nbsp;&rarr; Options&nbsp;&rarr; Columns, set default style, click "Edit" and configure :)</p></li>
</ul>
<br/>
<p class="bold"><a name="colorbuttons">Q: What are buttons R and All at the color's settings?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> It's simply:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><kbd>R</kbd>&nbsp;&mdash; restore color by default..</p></li>
<li><p><kbd>All</kbd>&nbsp;&mdash; apply selected color to all colunms.</p></li>

<p class="bold"><a name="tab_eng">Q: Почему заголовок табулятора, при первом запуске в
linux на английском?</a></p>
<p><span class="bold">A:</span> При первом запуске DC определяет язык системы на основании локали.
В дальнейшем текст заголовков сохраняется в <tt>doublecmd.ini</tt> и считывается из него. Изменить заголовки
можно в настройках колонок.</p>
<br/>
-->
<p class="bold"><a name="icons">Q: How to associate my own icons with some file types?</a></p>

[jpeg|jpg|gif|png]
Name=images
Icon=/home/rust/progs/doublecmd/pixmaps/32x32/mimetypes/image.png
open=gthumb '%p'</pre>

<span class="bold">open</span>&nbsp;&mdash; "Command" type, e.g. <span class="bold">totem-xine "%p"</span>
or <span class="bold">mplayer "%p"</span> or <span class="bold">smplayer "%p"</span> etc..&nbsp;).
After these actions you can choose what to open the file by right-click.</p>
<p>By the way, it's easy to open any directory with root privileges, e.g. with Nautilus. You can add new type to the "File associations" (e.g. <span class="bold">dir</span>), set <span class="bold">folder</span> as extension, set <span class="bold">Open as root</span> as action and type command: <span class="bold">gksu nautilus "%p"</span>. After this just right click on any folder, choose <span class="bold">Open as root</span> and enter password :)</p>
