Softpedia Editor's Review for V
|
An all-purpose File Manager for Windows with a Dual Pane Interface
Written by Elena Opris on April 3rd, 2012
V is not just a letter anymore - it's an entire software title! This is a file managing system that comes equipped with several other features, compared to Windows Explorer.
Once you open the tool, you can choose the layout between Windows Explorer or dual pane style (Commander or Explorer version).
The interface is user-friendly but there are many options displayed in the main menu and context menu, making V look cluttered.
So, you can copy, move, rename and delete files and folders, modify date and time attributes, view file properties and change file names (e.g. to lowercase or uppercase).
But you can also copy items to clipboard (e.g. directory listing, MS-DOS name) and view the clipboard (e.g. text data, OEM text), create shortcuts and view files in several methods (e.g. as HEX, ZIP).
Additionally, you can display an Explorer tree, view thumbnails, split the panes horizontally or vertically, automatically resize columns, create and organize a favorites list, as well as use a complex search function (e.g. file or text search, look inside archives).
Furthermore, you can use a HEX conversion tool, view an ASCII chart, access Command Prompt, delete temporary files, configure keyboard shortcuts, the toolbar and colors, map the network drive, and many others.
The file manager takes up a low-to-moderate amount of system resources, includes a complete user documentation with snapshots and ran smoothly during our tests. We highly recommend V to all users, especially the experienced ones.
