What are some good dual-pane file managers for Mac Pro

What are some good dual-pane file managers? I've been using forklift for a month now, but I found it a bit tricky to navigate and not as intuitive as I'd hoped. I'm interested in exploring other options that might offer a dual pane view but with a simpler interface or additional features. Thanks

If the other suggestions don't suit your needs, there are some suggestions for alternatives to Finder here:

I have no experience with any of them, so I can't comment on compatibility or how well any work.

So to use two Finder windows, open one finder window and navigate to say, your Source folder. Then choose 'New Finder window' off the Finders's File menu, and you get a second window, WITHOUT having the first window closed on you.


Navigate the second widow to the Destination folder, and resize the window and presentation {list, Icons, columns} in each window to your liking, and you can drag and drop between them to get them both up to date.


I have a slightly wider display, so I resize and place both windows side-by side, and look at them in list view, typically by filename. This makes it really easy to drag and drop between windows.
