Dual Pane View

[David Erceg]

I haven't fully decided yet, but I've been thinking of adding dual panes in v1.5. I want to make a few other improvements first, but it is definitely on my radar.

This is an excellent program, best file manager for me (among free *and* payed choices). It's fast, intuitive and contains no clutter. Many thanks David. Please don't forget the dual pane feature! I think this is the only feature that is missing for very efficient file handling.

I've been primarily using XYplorer in XP and now Win 7/64 and saw your program at least as a possible alternative for those occasions when WinExplorer pops up by default in Win 7(64). And perhaps more than that, if it has sufficient flexibility. It has some nice features, but from my perspective dual panes is necessary; otherwise it's merely a placeholder like Win Explorer.

First of all, thank you very much for writing such an excellent application under an open-source license.
Open source is really a very important movement, - NOT because software is free and we don't have to pay for it. That's not the point. Its about freedom of knowledge, building communities that are not based only on a money-profit motive. I'll be happy to make a contribution as soon as this phd is done

Like many others, I would also be really very pleased to see a dual-pane mode available soon. Any idea when (approx date) this feature might be released?

Thanks again!

My voice too for dual pane view.

Great program.

Dual pane would make it better still.

Initially I kept thinking omg how am I gonna manage without Dual pane then I got used to single pane with much less clutter than Q-dir.

It is much more convenient using tabs, as we can have but for instant comparison, and to make use of all that wasted real estate on the right, I vote for Dual Pane also, but can live without it...'specially as David has implemented a Ctrl+E feature.

1) Thank you, David for such an *amazing* program. I've been a long-time [paid] user of Powerdesk's PDExplorer, but the thing just gets buggier with every new release. I've been running Explorer++ side-by-side for a fair while and it really stands up well against PDExplorer.

2) I also registered here just to add my vote for ...

3) DUAL PANE VIEW (!). Though the tabs are brilliant (particularly as you can set a default location/directory for each) I've got so used to using dual pane views that I really miss them.

Add dual panes and you'll *definitely* be receiving a donation from me! Mind you - I think you deserve one anyway ... so I may just do it - to encourage you

Putting my vote in for Dual Pane view so I can drag and drop in the one window I noticed that the first post on this topic was in Feb 2011 almost 2 years ago. Any progress on this feature yet?

I don't use Explorer++ all the time but I always assume Side-by-Side display of 2 panes or tabs could be done. (A-la-Norton-Commander)

With no recent update of Explorer++ and no resolution to a 2 year old feature request with THOUSANDS of views, one has to wonder:

Is the author too busy with Real-Life or has adding this feature proved to be too much work?
