Hi, yes, I am plan to add such feature, but for now I don't know which form this should have:

- add some new button
- add a link over the file - clicking will download it
- add some specific icon to download next to the file
- add this feature to parameters (to enable or disable possibility to download the files)

At first I would say -> the easiest way. A new F button and keep the Commander look and feel?
At a second thought I would prefer a "future proof" solution that allows adding more functionality. e.g. my idea about rotating, cropping, resizing images.
So to show a context depending "menu" on right click on the file would be an optimum. - Clicking for preview?
Parameter not needed if you don't add parameters for other functions as well.

If you know elfinder, (the file manager included with k2) you have an example of this.

So I think it's mainly a question of your future plans with Phocacommander.
