Specifications

xplorer² is a dual-panel desktop file manager combining the simplicity of windows explorer with the speed and efficiency of traditional dual pane orthodox file managers, helping you be productive with your documents, pictures, music, source code and other files.

Unlike Windows explorer, xplorer² allows you to browse more than one folder at a time, using tabs and dual panes. Sorting out and copying files becomes a breeze.

You can navigate your shell namespace quickly using favorites, clickable paths (breadcrumbs), easy access to root folders, a tree and a bookmark pane (Dropbox) etc. You can even save and restore folder groups whenever your workflow deems necessary.

xplorer² browsing model scales up well to large folders with thousands of files. It reads fast, offers visual filters and a variety of selection mechanisms that allow you to manage your files effectively.

Full shell namespace browser
Dual panes and folder tabs
Preview documents, images, music etc.

Folder sizes and disk space visualization

Changes in version 6.0.0.2 (July 6, 2024):

version information (columns etc) extracted from WDX etc TC plugins
Drivebar briefly flashes the newly added drive letter button, useful if you have many drives attached

Changes in version 6.0.0.1 (June 7, 2024):

French and German translations are back online and available for installation. The only big language missing is Russian, any volunteers for the update?
When you move xplorerÂ² (or editorÂ²) to another DPI monitor it makes sure the window fits vertically or resizes itself appropriately.
If you use Everything for search, you can install Kilmatead’s SizeES WDX plugin for fast folder size calculations straight into the SIZE column. This allows folder size calculations at root level too! For details see http://zabkat.com/blog/folder-size-revisited.htm
Installer has a help link in “choose additional tasks” page, which takes you to the online manual for clarifications.

Changes in version 5.5.0.1 (January 24, 2024):

when you browse a folder that gets removed (e.g. ejected disk) the pane switches to the desktop. To disable this behavior tick “Don’t junk folder views…” advanced option (GAO2_NOUSBMONITOR)
advanced settings editor has an option to hide the NATIVE preview tab, in its Quick Preview section
some bugfixes

Changes in version 5.5.0.0 (December 23, 2023):

experimental: fuzzy groups with k-clustering AI algorithm using a negative fuzzy percentage (negative number K is how many clusters to create). It organizes items in terms of mutual “nearness” with respect to the selected property. Text properties like NAME cannot be clustered at present, only dates and numbers. See the documentation on fuzzy groups for details
improved dark mode for windows 10/11 (menus, listview headers etc)
fixed folder background menu problem (e.g. open powershell here etc)
better dragdrop images for win10
date group “future” for freak files that are modified later than now (!) Probably indication there’s something wrong with your system clock
symlinks can have their OWN (not that of pointed file’s) date changed using ACTIONS > CHANGE ATTRIBUTES menu
new tip 34a for faster recycle bin
since xplorerÂ² no longer runs on windows 98 (!) I have removed the ANSI versions from the 32 bit installer, only unicode stuff
improved performance of thumbnail (large icons) view searching
updated advanced settings editor
