tabbyFile

Navigating through your computer with default methods is easily done by anyone. However, advanced users might look for alternatives with enhanced possibilities and quicker ways to perform certain operations. This is possible with file managers and tabbyFile aims to redefine simplicity through the set of features it puts at your disposal.

The overall design is simple and easy to comprehend, both in terms of visuals and functionality. Two panels let you have different locations on your computer active at a time, while toolbar controls provide even more comfort. Its elements are customizable and there's even a quick launch toolbar so you can place shortcuts of applications and games you frequently access.

Don't be disappointed that you only get to work with two panels. Integrated tab support helps out in this regard, because you can keep up as many active directories as you see fit, while pressing the corresponding tab entry fills in the big panel with its content. More flexibility is provided by the favorites manager. All folders you save can then quickly be selected from a drop-down menu.

Operations you get to manage are the same that Windows provides in terms of file management. A context menu is put at your disposal for more comfort. Drag and drop is also supported so you can manage files this way.

Icons can be displayed in several layouts and you can scroll through them with a dedicated button. What's more, the application lets you save custom layouts you can quickly apply to any active directory. Needless to say that one of the toolbar entries is a search engine to find files of interest in the blink of an eye.

Bottom line is that tabbyFile doesn't come with too many features to overwhelm you and oddly enough, this isn't a bad thing, not even for a file manager. It's well-organized from all points of view, with its simplicity further adding to your comfort. Functions are in plain sight and several customization options are at your disposal for an enhanced overall experience.
