Softpedia Editor's Review for XYplorer
|
Tabbed dual pane file manager with strong file search and preview
Written by Elena Opris on April 19th, 2012
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 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.

XYplorer description
|
Here are some key features of "XYplorer":
· Thumbnails of image files can be shown right in the details view, introducing the unique "Mouse Down Blow Up" functionality which allows you to popup an image in original size just by holding the mouse down on the thumbnail.
· Preview of *.TGA (Targa), *.DNG, and *.NEF files.
· Instant Font Preview of installed and uninstalled TrueType and Type-1 font files (displaying detailed font information).
· Instant Preview of Office files (except in Vista/Win7), and of HTML, MHT, PHP files (including configurable server mappings) with printing option.
· Instant display of complete file/version Information for each selected file.
· Support of Icon Overlays (as for example used by TortoiseSVN, a Subversion client, implemented as a Windows shell extension).
· File Info Tips and MP3 Info Tips: extensive file information (depending on 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.
· Sorting files... you are in full control. Easily choose what is sorted how and in which direction.

· Instant Raw View (ASCII and HEX) for all files, including text extraction from binaries (the fastest on the market since years).

· Export extended file information of whole directories (or even directory trees) to CSV-formatted files.
· Autosize Columns: Optionally, file list column widths automatically adjust to their current contents.
· On-the-fly Font Sizing: Hold Ctrl and wheel your mouse to quickly change the application's font size to either see more information in the same space or go for more detail to relax your eyes. Check out a Video.
· Excellent Windows shell integration: file associations, context menus, drag-n-drop, copy/cut/paste files via clipboard, environment variables.
