XYplorer – File Manager for Windows

XYplorer – File Manager for Windows

XYplorer is a file managing system that comes with a user-friendly interface and supports multiple tabs. The application is similar to Windows Explorer, so you shouldn't have any problems in getting around its features.

So, you can open a location in a new tab or pane, copy a selected row to the clipboard and renames files in several ways (e.g. batch, set extension, edit item names). In addition, you can move, copy or backup files and folders, open an item with command-line arguments, create shortcuts, wipe files, swap names and set the modified date to the current one.

But you can also preview and compare files, use the undo, redo and search functions, check out an action log, configure a selection filter (wildcard patterns or a regular expression) and look for templates.

On top of that, you can sort items according to various parameters (e.g. attributes, comments), customize columns, iconize and rename tabs, lock the tree, calculate folder sizes, create a favorites list, add and edit tags, manage user-defined commands, run scripts, toggle the active pane, and more.

The program takes up low system resources, supports keyboard shortcuts, includes a comprehensive help file and has an excellent response time. We haven't encountered any problems. All in all, it seems that XYplorer comes bundled with all the right functions (and more) for a file manager. We strongly recommend it to all users, regardless of their experience level.

Features:

• Tabbed Browsing: have an unlimited number of tabs to make jumping around between folders a one-click affair. Rename the tabs, shift them around, hide them, drag-drop stuff onto the tab headers… the tabs remember their configuration individually and between sessions. You often search your system for files added in the last 24 hours? Let a “finding tab” do the job at a single click!
• High end find files engine with tremendous power and amazing speed. Find files fully supports Boolean logic (up to 256 nesting levels), advanced pattern matching, Regular Expressions, whole word and fuzzy matching, binary string search, multiple location search (find files in all selected directories) and much more…
  Instant preview of image (incl. PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, ICO and many more), audio, and video files (displaying detailed media information).
• Thumbnails of image files shown right in the file list, introducing the unique “Mouse Down Blow Up” functionality.
  Instant preview of installed and uninstalled TrueType and Type-1 font files (displaying detailed font information).
  Instant preview of HTML, MHT, PHP files (including configurable server mappings) with printing options.
  Instant display of complete file/version information for each selected file.
• Various revolutionary highlighting features add more visual grip to tree and list. Highlight Folder, Boxed Branch, Favorite Folder Bold, Highlight Focused Row, Highlight Sorted Column, … all colors are fully customizable. And then there’s a wildcard-configurable Color Filter for list items.
• You have a Visual Filter for the file list. Control what you see by stating simple wildcard patterns like *.txt. The Visual Filter is per-tab and, as virtually all XYplorer settings, saved between sessions.
  File Info Tips and MP3 Info Tips: extensive file information (depending on the file type and individual file up to 35 fields!) pops up when you move the mouse over a file’s icon.
• Special MP3 service: instant ID3v1.1-tag view and edit, plus automatic filename to ID3v1.1-tag routine.
  Instant file view (ASCII and HEX) for all files, including text extraction from binaries (BTW: the fastest on the market).
• Generates various sorts of file system reports (to clipboard, file, and printer — we’re talking about one-click directory print-outs here).
• Export extended file information of whole directories (or even directory trees) to CSV-formatted files.

• For each file and folder, the (real!) disk space used is immediately displayed.
