A dual-pane file manager with tabbed interface and Omni-Finder module. It offers all shell features of Windows Explorer but without any complications. The software offers powerful file management capabilities with searching support for file attributes.
One of the most noteworthy features of xplorer is its clean and customizable interface that can be easily tailored according to individual preferences. The software's virtual folder handling is seamless, and it supports files like FTP/webfolders/zipfolders with ease. Plus, it provides an extended file/folder detail feature, including MP3 tags, checksum, etc.
In addition, xplorer offers instant preview of text, graphics, and audio/video content. With quick preview of documents through activeX servers, for instance, Office, PDF etc., one can find files using hyperfilters - search and locate files by searching their comments for keywords.
Users can detect and conveniently clean duplicate files with xplorer, manage multiple folders in dual pane or using tabs, and also compare and synchronize files with ease. The software also has a powerful visual filtering and selection engine, organize files in groups and color codes.
Moreover, xplorer provides seamless touch dates, split / merge, and shred files. The feature of mass renaming, executing text commands or DOS scripts on files, and advanced NTFS support like hard links, file comments, etc., are also available.
Other features of this powerful software include robust file/folder transfers, a text encoding-aware interface, and the flexibility to export file information in the form of text for printing, etc. With its focus on usability, xplorer also comes with keyboard shortcuts, histories, autocompletion, and much more. The software also has versions for both 32 and 64 bit.
Overall, xplorer not only feels incredibly lightweight with a size of only 1 MB executable, but is also loaded with a plethora of useful features. I highly recommend this software to anyone looking for an efficient file and information manager.
