![]() That option cleans up the tree display by hiding all the folder branches that you haven’t selected in XYplorer.

There are times when it wouldn’t respond,especially in the first start after logging in, but I found out that thumbnail creations in XYplorer could cause performance problems and I fixed it by unchecking the ‘Create all thumbnails at once’ option on the settings menu. Throughout my testing, XYplorer is fast, responsive (although not as responsive as Q-Dir, my default file manager), and has low memory footprint. It manages to be simple to use while having many useful features. It’s just as fast as the quick search tool. It also could show you the ‘raw view’ of the file, lets you add tags, and hosts XYplorer’s main search tool. The info panel doesn’t only show you the properties of a file and preview it. You can also rename files according to a criteria (I guess I should retire my batch renaming utility from now): If you right-click on a folder/file, you can find a long list of what you can copy from the file/folder to the clipboard: There’s a good (and fast) Quick Search feature, when you only want to search files by their names or types. When navigating multiple folders, you can view them in two panes, both horizontally and vertically: This feature confuses me at first it was enabled by default, and if I close XYplorer and open it, it would show me the folders and subfolders I’ve used on my last session, and nothing else. XYplorer has an option for the folder tree: Mini Tree, which according to the help file would ‘displays only the paths you have actually used’. You can switch between views using the Views button: The Branch view enables you to show the the list of files and folders inside a folder without opening them, which I guess could be useful if you have a folder with many-levelled subfolder with a small amount of files. The Visual Filter is similar to Type Stats and Filter, but it filters categories of files instead of the filetypes, and you could also filter files by their modified time and size: I know that you can do that on Windows Explorer, but it won’t give you the item count of the files, right? If you have a folder full of files with various types (like your Downloads folder), you can filter the with the Type Stats and Filter option: You still need to hold down Shift/Ctrl on your keyboard, though. ![]() You can select multiple items with the checkbox selection feature: You can turn them off if you don’t like them. See that green line along the left side of the folder tree? It’s called tree path tracing, which makes it easier to, well, trace a folder’s parent directory. You can undo or redo the changes you’ve made to your directory (deleting, renaming, copying, etc): Beside them, there are buttons to access your recent folders and to quickly access locations on your computer. You must’ve been familiar with the back, forward and up buttons on the left side of the toolbar. ![]() Just like most Windows Explorer alternatives, XYplorer has an address bar, a thin toolbar, and a tree pane on the right side. (Note: This software has loads of features, so I’m going to cover only the toolbar functions, context menu items, and info panel) I hate Windows Explorer, and I’ve found love in Q-Dir, but I SHOULD try this software. I don’t frequently visit the site, since the softwares that were offered on the site didn’t interest me (like a $30 converter I know I could get a software with the same set of features for free, legally).īut I visit the site on the afternoon of September 9, 2014, and I found out that the give away of the day was a XYplorer, file manager and alternative to Windows Explorer. The software could only be downloaded and installed in 24 hour, or it’s lost forever. There’s a site called Give Away of the Day which, as it name suggested, gives away a paid software for free for three platforms: Windows, iOS, and Android, as some sort of promotion for the company/developer (I suppose). ![]() I don’t think I would ever review a non-free software, but I could attribute this review to me being on the right time and the right place. ![]()
