Yes, not free, but again check licensing cost for other tools that have MUCH less functionality.Īnd then one more last thing.

If that model ever changes, there's gonna be good reason for it because it has been a free ride for a long time. And to be clear, I see this as a huge bonus, I'm not expecting it, and neither should anyone else. That's a big, big shoutout to admin, thank you so very much for keeping it that way.
It is absolutely AMAZING that I can do that and NOT violate terms. I can't even begin to tell you (and most of you probably know :) ) how restrictive and expensive licenses can be for that sort of use. By that license, I am able to use XY on VMs I have to frequently use, multiple computers I use every day.
Last but NOT least, I want to talk about the licensing. I won't ever explore the 100% because I don't need every part of XY, but I'm very, very impressed. And fast.Īnd that's with having explored maybe 25%. It just all makes sense and is super accessible. It's cohesive.Īnd frankly, I can't even tell you what could/should be better. It keeps getting better but it never strays from its path. Perhaps some other products could do some similar things, but my thing about XY is, it's a vision not a build. It gives me instant feedback that yes, my IDE is dumping DLLs into the right place, NO MISTAKE POSSIBLE. The ability to tie age of files to a background color is ridiculously useful.

How on earth do people not demand this in Windows Explorer? There are operations I can do with this in seconds that fellow developers are just not even doing because their tools are garbage.

I can color code all that? Holy.īranch view is absolutely the GOD of features. I need to keep old ones for a while some are semi-active. Labels, are you kidding me on how ridiculously awesome those are? I have, at any time, 5-10 customer tickets open. Quicklaunch is my buddy, and so are locked tabs and their color properties. But as it is, I can do my daily things, which are different for everyone, about 10 times faster at least. I think I've mastered about oh, 25% of the functionality. I wasn't immediately convinced, but I was so fed up with wasting time in Windows Explorer that I forced myself to figure out the actual features of XY.Īnd so I did, for the most part. I use Explorer in Windows, in linux I use Nemo.I gave XY a go about. I rarely encounter any search failures, and it searches the contents of all files, images, emails etc in the blink of the eye.
The much-maligned Windows Search works very well for me, and it's blisteringly fast. I find that more flexible, but perhaps I'm missing something.

There are many other tools designed for the professional which are way beyond what I need, but for me it's just about the first app I would install if I got a new computer.Ĭurious, not critical: why is this an advantage? I mean: the alternative is to have two Windows Explorer windows open, and drag and drop between them. The ability to add a picture pane showing a larger version of the image selected, with no need to invoke a picture viewer Since this is a photography forum, the ability to list raw files as thumbnails showing the embedded jpeg (maybe Explorer can now do this?) The ability to display a "flattened" list of files in a folder hierarchy, and the ability to apply filters to the list, is great for finding that file whose name and location you can't *quite* remember. The ability to have defined tabs in those panes (think of it like a browser) to give rapid access to regularly used folders. The regular default is to a "double pane" configuration, which makes it so easy to move files around without creating a second instance. Such as? Just curious, I've never encountered a need for a file manager feature that Explorer does not have, but maybe I am missing something. It may be over the top, but its configurability gives me just what I need, along with so many useful features. Personally, I dropped Explorer years ago and now use Directory Opus.
