2.335 views
Let's face it: for advanced file manipulation, Windows File Explorer stinks. But like Firefox is a must-have replacement for Internet Explorer, a file manager called Xplorer2 blows Windows Explorer out of the water for anyone who browses multiple folders, copies, pastes, moves and searches the PC filesystem frequently.
Using Xplorer2's tabbed, dual pane interface, keyboard shortcuts and killer advanced features, you're in total control of your PC's files. Let's take a look.
We are familiar with browser2 alternatives, such as Firefox, Opera, K-Meleon, etc.. Everything has a tab. So no need to open a new window to open a new page. And finally adopted by the Internet Explorer 7. Internet browser that problem, then what about the Windows Explorer to open the file? Often times we open many windows to see a lot of different folders. That is the weakness of Windows Explorer. If on Linux, with konqueror, it can be done easily. Unfortunately, Windows Explorer can not, even in Vistapun versions do not support it.
Xplorer2 is the alternative. Xplorer2 can replace your Windows Explorer minimal functions. With Xplorer2 you can save space, no need to open many window to see the various folders at once.
Download and install Xplorer2
The "lite" version of Xplorer2 has a few features disabled, but it's far from limited; it's free for personal or academic use. A license for the pro version costs a reasonable $ 30, and there's a full 30-day trial to check out pro features. For the purposes of this article, we'll stick to the free Xplorer Lite (where locked "pro" features are denoted by a "[P]" in the menus.)
Download Xplorer2 Lite from here and launch it. The self-contained program is even thumb drive-friendly.
Great Xplorer2 is available for free for personal and educational. If you feel less at or gratisnya freeware version, you can buy the professional version only spend $ 30, there trialnya 30 days if you want to try it first.
You can download it at Xplorer2 website.
Triple threat interfaces (Multi-Window)
First thing you'll notice off the bat is that Xplorer2 displays file listings from two folders at once in one window. This makes a lot of sense, since a lot of the time you're copying or moving files between folders. Also, in the far left pane, there's an easy-to-navigate directory tree of your computer, as shown (click to enlarge).
To quickly switch between the two panes open the folder, hit the Tab key. The active pane will have a white background, the inactive will be in beige. To turn on or off the directory tree pane, from the View menu, check or uncheck "Show Tree."
Usually you open a folder, copy the file, then moved to another folder for mempastenya. With Xplore2, no longer need to repot2 like that. Because Xplorer2 has a dual window (pane) that is open, so copy and paste would be much easier. With a multi-window does not need to move a folder or repot2 open many windows at once. There was also treenya on the left, so just like windows explorer, we can open the file through the tree. To close or open the tree, press Ctrl + T on your keyboard.
Tabbed Exploring (Multi Tab)
If the dual-pane view was not enough, you can also open up sets of folders you work with frequently in tabs. From the File menu, choose "New Tab" or simply hit Ctrl + Ins to open a new tab. Move between tabs with your keyboard with Ctrl + Shift + Left / Right arrow.
You can even rename a tab for easy visual reference. Just right-click on it and choose rename.
If Multi Window (dual panes), still you think is lacking. You can open other folder2 in a new tab. By clicking Ctrl + Ins to open a new tab. If you want to change the name of the folder via the tab can, stay right-click and select rename.
Filter your files
Xplorer2 makes it dead easy to work with sets of files. You can use a filter to select all the files that start with G or end in. Png. Simply type into your filter Xplorer2's address bar (like "*. txt") or from the Mark menu, choose "Select Group." From there you can copy, move or otherwise manipulate the set of files.
Xplorer2 can also create filters. So you can determine what file type you want to display in the window. Is it an image file, or video only, or perhaps audio-only. Or perhaps want to display only certain formats such as. Txt,. Jpg,. Doc, etc.. So it can be set easily by clicking the auto filter on the top bar. Or for further arrangements could be with the group. Select mark, select group ...
This can simplify your search for the file.
Keyboard shortcuts
Xplorer2 has a very extensive set of mature keyboard shortcuts. First, incremental it's got search and select for a directory listing. Just type the first few letters of a file or folder name and Xplorer2 will instantly move down and select it in the list. Hold down the shift key to do incremental search by file extension (like Shift + tx will take you to the first. Txt files in the list.)
To copy files between folders open, use F5. To navigate to a particular drive letter, use Ctrl + Shift + Letter (like Ctrl + Shift + C) to go the drive's root.
Xplorer2 also have keyboard shortcuts. And incredibly we can replace the keyboard shortcut if not in accordance with our wishes. For example New Tab is usually when the Firefox browser's Ctrl + T, but the Ctrl + Ins Xplorer2, this is very troublesome because the insert button in the upper right. You can change the Customize> Keyboard ...
Split and merge files
If you've got a multi-gigabyte file - like a video or disk image - you want to transport on a series of smaller capacity CD-R's or thumb drives, Xplorer2 can split the file into small parts and reassemble them later. To do so, from the Actions menu choose "Split" and select the file part sizes. To put the files back together, select all the parts (make sure they're sorted by name so they're in the right join order!) And from the Actions menu, choose Join.
If you have a large file can be made several small files according to your needs. So for example, the file size of 1 GB, and you want to insert the second CD, then you can file for two. Then after the split, you can also combine with Xplorer2.
Skins

All you need is a graphics editor to change the default bitmaps and some good taste - it can not be hard to beat mine hastily cobbled together over time!

ZIP and RAR files. You can browse and search files contained inside the ZIP and RAR files. This is a powerful feature in an offline database, because you do not have to guess the contents of a zip file from its name and size: you can drill right down and see what's inside!
You no longer need additional software such as Google Desktop or Copernic Desktop. Search Xplorer2 already provides content, so you can find "the words" that are in files in the folder you want. You can even search for words in the compressed files like zip. Very easy and fast. Ctrl + F
