About - Explorer++
|
Current: v1.2
|
Explorer++ is a free multi-tab file manager for the
Windows®
operating system,
released as open source under the GNU
GPLv3 license. Windows® Explorer
provides basic functionality - the ability to navigate throughout your computer,
and perform basic tasks - but Explorer++ goes further, introducing
several enhancements and improvements for a much richer file browsing
experience. Aside from basic navigation, Explorer++ has:
- a two paned interface, like Windows®
Explorer, but with multiple tabs in the file pane. You can have many locations
open at once and quickly change from tab to tab.
- a Drives toolbar, showing all
available volumes - disk drives - (including network and USB drives).
Jump to a drive with a single mouse click.
- a Bookmarks menu (similar to
Windows® Explorer favorites, but with
more functionality), and a Bookmarks
toolbar
- an Application toolbar
where you can create shortcuts to your favorite applications
- Show Command Prompt built
into Explorer++
- attribute control (set, clear)
for multiple files
- various methods of file display,
including multiple groupings
- quickly split a large file
into pieces, for email or other purposes, and quickly
merge pieces back into the
original file
- a destroy files
function which deletes files, then wipes their former disk space clean.
This provides secure erasing of files.
- a built-in file search function
which allows searching by name or attributes
- customized file display colors,
by name or attributes
- ability to run in portable
mode, storing all configuration in an XML file
- highly configurable, for user
preference
- full drag-and-drop support with other applications, including Windows®
Explorer
- much more...!
