I wonder whether Devonthink could support dual-pane file manager in the future.  
I am using one commander for large-volume file management. I know that Devonthink and One Commander are totally two different software. However, I wonder whether Devonthink can implement that function so that I can achieve more efficient file management (move from one folder to the other one). Just a suggestion.

The request is noted but DEVONthink is not a Finder replacement.

Not answering your question directly but just wanted to tell you that you can:

1. open multiple DT windows in parallel ![image](https://devontech-discourse.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/3X/4/6/4640f90affaadd2b0ec59e8ebbadba63a4207d5e.png)

2. use Move to shortcut 

3. use Go to shortcut ![image](https://devontech-discourse.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/3X/5/4/543ee99bece700a433e986ca170cb039a3a47eb8.png) to quickly jump to a group

Especially these 2 shortcuts is the way I navigate the DBs (and I was very happy when I learnt about them 🙂 ) … very seldom do I use mouse for that anymore.
