xplorer   is a desktop file manager combining the efficiency of the legendary norton commander and
the ease of use of windows file explorer. It is tough as boots, rock solid stable, lightweight in
size and system resource use, and fast.
- Shell namespace explorer    
xplorer   will browse and manage all your folders including virtual ones folders like zipfolders,
webfolders, even FTP, as long as these services are available in your system. If you extend your
shell namespace with new folder types, xplorer   will read them too, in a familiar tree/view window
format. snapshot
- Tabbed dual-pane interface  
Can t decide between dual pane and tabbed browsing? No worries, xplorer   does them all. The
traditional dual-pane format, handy for comparisons and file transfers, is augmented so that each
pane can hold more than one folder. Hopping from one folder to another is just a tab click away.

- Instant preview of files  
xplorer   can preview most text, graphics, audio/video, and html   office documents     and does so
in nearly all folder types including zipfolders etc. Wherever it finds file-like content it offers
file-like access  snapshot
- Browsing flexibility 
You can browse your content in most useful view modes supported by explorer, including thumbnails.
Within large folders you will appreciate the organization capabilities offered by arranging in
groups and multi-way sort. xplorer   will remember your favorite mode for each folder. snapshot
- View   edit text files  
xplorer   collaborates with our companion editor   offering no-frills     yet useful     text
viewing and editing, in a variety of formats  RTF, unicode, UTF8 etc . You can also associate your
own external editor of choice. snapshot
- Extended file information   
On top of the usual names, sizes   dates, xplorer   can access extended file information like
comments, version information, picture data etc, as supported by your Windows OS  shell column
handlers . It even has useful columns of its own like file checksum, 8.3 names etc. If you install
any custom column handlers they will be integrated too  snapshot
- Search for files everywhere, using arbitrary criteria  
The search engine is the most powerful in the market this side of  70  xplorer   can search in all
folder types including zipfolders etc, and the criteria can include each and every bit of extended
file information combined in boolean hyperfilters. If you want to find files that contain some
keyword in their comment, and are owned by a particular user, and are songs by an artist formerly
known as prince, then look no further  When you search for contained text, the previewer panel will
show you the text hilighted in context too. snapshot
- Find text within office, Adobe PDF and other documents 
xplorer   can work with text filters developed for windows indexing service, allowing you to search
for keywords within all your document archive. Plain text previews of such proprietary formats are
possible too, hilighting your search results in context.
- Manage files from many folders   
xplorer   has a special kind of window called scrap container where you can place files from many
folders and deal with them all at once     like the find files result list, except that you control
what goes in  aka virtual folders or playlists . You can save and reload scrap lists, organizing
your content regardless of its physical location. You can even browse folders flat, recursively
including all their subfolders  snapshot
- Compare and synchronize folders  
In dual pane mode xplorer   can show the contents of 2 folders in a single window, ideal for
comparing and synchronizing content. Using scrap containers you can compare folder hierarchies,
too.

- Discover and cleanup duplicate files  
xplorer   can check a local hierarchy  or even all your folders  for identical files and mark them
ready for inspection and eventually deletion, releasing your valuable disk space. snapshot
- Execute DOS commands and scripts  
When file management calls for more advanced external commands, xplorer   will oblige with its
template-based user menu system. You just provide a command template and it is automatically
applied
to all selected files. Thus you can achieve mass renaming and so much more. snapshot
- Customizable user interface   
There are plenty of adjustable options to bring xplorer   in line with your needs and tastes, from
how many panels you see, which commands appear on toolbars, all the way to how many decimal points
you want for file sizes and toolbar skins. You can arrange the user interface to be as simple or as
complex as you like. snapshot
- Help and assistance where you need it 
In addition to a comprehensive help file, daily tips   tricks etc, xplorer   has a tooltip  balloon
help  system that guides you through the more complex steps of command arguments without disturbing
your workflow. snapshot
- Individual folder settings  
You can instruct xplorer   to show particular folders in fixed view modes, e.g. MyPictures in
thumbnail mode, WinNT in detailed mode including a version column etc. You can also save window
layouts to be reused for all folders that e.g. have visual content you want to preview. 
- Visual filters and selection engine   
xplorer   helps you manage large folders easily, first controlling which items are visible     with
a variety of wildcard and other filters, and then selecting the items you want to act upon with
precision. There are too many selection techniques to list, including hyperfilter-based that allow
you to select e.g. all items with  science  in their comments  
- Advanced file management   
Except for the basic drag-drop, context menu, copy, delete, rename etc, xplorer   has a palette of
advanced file management commands like split-merge, shred, set comments, touch dates, paste
subfolders, junctions or hard links, etc. 
- Robust file transfers  
xplorer   can handle many parallel background file transfers  concurrent or queued  offering fine
control over confirmations, error handling etc. You can copy large amounts of files with ease and
peace of mind. snapshot
- Export folder listings  
Whatever you see in xplorer   can be exported as text for printing, e-mailing, pasting in other
programs, etc. You can also export statistics for whole folder hierarchies, in detailed tree-like
fashion. 
- Maxed-out usability    
Mostly and foremostly xplorer   is meant to be used day in and day out with maximum efficiency and
minimum frustration. Its keyboard and mouse shortcuts, histories for most input fields, path
autocompletion and many other small details, work together to offer you a comfortable and
productive
