Gnome Commander Whips Files Into ShapeAn article at LinuxInsider by Jack M. Germain from April 28, 2010:
As a file manager, Gnome Commander has the look and feel of early workhorses like Norton Commander and Midnight Commander. Among its many talents, Gnome Commander is a life-saver when it comes to synchronizing files. Something I wish were available in more apps I use is the ability to do advanced renaming of files, and GC does this with support for various types of meta-data.

File managers For LinuxAn article at Linux.com from February 24, 2005, by Michael M. Murphree, testing, comparing and reviewing a lot of different file managers for Linux systems. About GNOME Commander he writes:
GNOME Commander offers a much smaller footprint and a more polished GUI than do FileRunner and gentoo. It provides the more typical tool bar and menu system, in addition to mapping buttons to each function key. It also provides a command history, capacity for multiple predefined FTP sessions, and file search. The most interesting feature that I found was the advanced rename tool, which allows you to quickly rename multiple files using regular expressions, counters, and case matching. I was disappointed that the user manual did not install properly, particularly since key combinations did not match those for Midnight Commander. It still struck me a a compact, polished file manager, especially suitable for those running the GNOME desktop.

German articles Dateiverwaltung der anderen Art mit dem Gnome CommanderIn seinem Artikel vom März 2012 auf der Seite linux-community.de gibt Mario Blättermann einen sehr detailierten Überblick über GNOME Commander. Beginnend mit der Hauptansicht des GCMD zeigt er die Stärken des "Advance Rename Tool" auf, geht über zu den Tastaturshortcuts und erklärt schließlich, wie man Programmoptionen ändert und welche Auswirkungen sie haben. Sein Fazit:
Über die zweigeteilte Ansicht darf man geteilter Ansicht sein, aber das Gesamtkonzept überzeugt dennoch, und die Funktionsvielfalt macht Gnome Commander auch ohne die Segnungen einer integrierten Arbeitsumgebung zum zentralen Dreh- und Angelpunkt eines individuellen Desktops.

saying that Gnome Commander is a quite good user application. Unfortunately, the article refers to GCMD v1.2.x and not the newest one, v1.4.x (June, 2014).
