Double Pane Concept
Main window is split into two panes. You can select horizontal or vertical pane layout in "Options" dialog.
Each pane can be active or inactive. You can activate a pane by tapping its header or any file within this pane.
When you perform file operations, active pane is considered a source of files, and inactive pane is considired a destination. For example, if you want to copy files from "Folder 1" to "Folder 2", you should:

- step into Folder 2 (in the first pane)
- step into Folder 1 (in the second pane)
- select the files you want to copy (in the second pane)
- press "Copy/Move" button on the toolbar

Pane Buttons
Each pane has three buttons on top - one to the left side and two to the right.
Left button is [Launcher] button. Tapping it brings up a dropdown menu with a list of available storage devices and bookmarks. On the right of device names free and total space is shown. Tapping a device name will switch pane folder to the root of this device. [Edit bookmarks] brings up "Edit bookmarks" dialog. [Add current folder] adds current folder to bookmarks.
The next button is [Step up] button. Tapping it steps one folder up.
The rightmost button is [Maximize/Minimize] button. Tapping it makes a pane full-screen. Tapping it once again restores previous pane size.
When a pane is maximized, a button appears between [Step up] and [Maximize/Minimize]. Tapping it activates another pane, allowing working with two maximized panes.
A pane shows files in a selected folder using selected color scheme (can be changed via "Options" dialog), selected sort and view modes (can be changed via "Options" dialog or via "Pane menu"). Bottom part of the pane shows detailed info on currently selected file. You can customize pane layout, file display options and much more by accessing "Style", "Panes-1", "Panes-2", "View", "Files" and "Display" tabs in the "Options" dialog.
