It does! But the user interface is _completely_ different from the desktop 
version. And i think that Ghisler did many things right. Total Commander for 
Android is basically a different program. Image how great a 1:1 port of the 
interface had looked on a smartphone. :)

And that was my whole point, classic desktop interfaces optimized for mouse 
and keyboard are rarely easy to adopt to a touch device. Especially to 
something with a small display like a smartphone has. The whole interaction is 
different.

To get back to your mockup. What's wrong with the way it is implemented in 
Dolphin? I liked how the +/- icons overlayed the file icon on hover - no waste 
of space.

Best Regards,
