   That's what I thought. At the time, I realized that the author would   
   have to do some extra coding by translating/migrating configuration   
   data, but at least a considerable part of this could be automated. It   
   could even be in the form of an external executable so that a user of   
   any older version could migrate to the new one at any time. The new   
   version of the configuration was organized differently, much better   
   than the previous one.   
   N.B.: Please understand that I do not wish to play down the author   
   with my statements. Freeware developers are not very likely to do   
   extra work just for it. If donations were more frequent, I might   
   still use FreeCommander.

   Yes! I use it in a daily basis. I thought about talking about this   
   feature, but the best and most direct thing is to point out the link   
   to the official description.   
   https://doublecmd.github.io/doc/en/syncdirs.html   
      
   Double Commander also has some minor issues, many of which have been   
   fixed. One that was often mentioned was a slight delay in response to   
   some commands. It allows you to configure programs and/or documents   
   that you use frequently, such as on the Desktop, arranged as icons on   
   the taskbar that can be broken down into menus, submenus, etc. It   
   uses XML architecture to store this information and settings, and   
   sometimes retrieving this data can seem a bit slow. Well, my laptop   
   is already among the very old ones...   
      
   Hope it helps. :)
