DESCRIPTION

15       Double Commander is a free cross platform open source file manager with
16       two panels side by side.  It is inspired by Total  Commander  and  fea‐
17       tures some new ideas.

OPTIONS

21       The switches are NOT case sensitive.
22
23       <path1> [<path2>]
24              If  one  path  passed then load it into the active panel. If two
25              paths are passed then load first path into left panel and second
26              in the right panel.
27              Directory names containing spaces must be put in double quotes.
28              Always specify the full path name.
29
30       -C, --client
31              If Double Commander is already running, activate it and pass the
32              path(s) in the command line to that instance.
33
34       -L <path>
35              Set directory to show in the left panel.
36
37       -R <path>
38              Set directory to show in the right panel.
39
40       -P L|R Sets the active panel when program starts: -P L for left and  -P
41              R for right.
42
43       -T     Opens the passed directory(ies) in new tab(s)
44
45       --config-dir=<path>
46              Set  custom  directory path with Double Commander configurations
47              files.
48              Default is $HOME/.config/doublecmd.
49
50       --servername=x
51              Sets the name of the instance (server) Double  Commander,  which
52              can then be used to pass parameters.
53              If there is no already existing instance, then create it.
54              If  there is already existing instance, and the current one is a
55              client, then send params to the server  (i.e.  to  the  existing
56              instance).
57              If  there  is  already existing instance, and the current one is
58              not a client, (i.e. "Allow only one copy of DC  at  a  time"  is
59              false  and  no --client / -c options were given), then user-pro‐
60              vided servername is altered: firstly, just add a trailing number
61              "2".
62              If there is already some trailing number, then increase it by 1,
63              until we found a servername that isn't busy yet, and then create
64              instance with this servername.
65
66       --no-splash
67              Disables the splash screen at startup DC.
