#Xyplorer 2 reviews how to#

Online search doesn't teach you a lot of basic things about how to use the software, you have to figure it out on your own.

This is probably not intended, this happens whether or not you have checked or unchecked the boxes in Explore panel > layout > User Interface Components > view filter

View mode preferences are not saved (whether you want thumbnails, a file list, details, etc).

It has many cool things when it comes to design, and at the same time there are things that I don't like that I don't know if I can remove in the settings.

I can't see how to change this in the settings.

It always opens in multi-window, instead of opening in one window or how you last left it.

It's easy to find, but I wish it was easier (maybe if it was in the toolbar)

You can change the thumbnail size in: Explore Panel settings > Display > File and Folder Display > View Mode Settings > Thumbnail View Modes > Thumbnail Size.

Design and settings are more overwhelming and tedious than FreeCommander XE.

Not fully dark mode, or is it just me? It's the best dark mode on this list (aside from Files).

I know some people don't like it when things are subscription based. You can also buy a subscription for two years.

Buying the Donor version will only give you updates for a year.

You need to disable automatic updates to stop this from happening Similar to WinRAR, it's more annoying since you open it regularly.

On free version they will bug you all the time about a new update you won't receive because you haven't donated.You can still access these directories and files regardless.

#Xyplorer 2 reviews windows#

You can't see system files on windows 64bit (You need the 64bit version of FreeCommander XE, which is not free).

There is a bug when changing the thumbnail size, the button may stop working and you may have to restart the application to change the size.

I saw it before while browsing, and tried it after Total Commander was suggested.

I recommend looking into the forums for more color schemes, there's one topic that has every color scheme and there's more than one page in this topic.

The color schemes are very customizable, but they are in multiple places around the settings.

Not fully dark mode, dark mode is better than Q-Dir though.

Someone says this program tends to have bugs, because of this it may not be a good suggestion.

Search is very bad for me, it always shows no results.

It doesn't instantly load files like others.

This might not be an issue on faster machines The bigger the file the more it loads, I am not sure if it will always be tolerable.

On a large pictures folder, thumbnails from png images are not going to load.

Last updated: February 2022 Files by community It would be tedious to always include some of the above If anyone finds this post, I hopefully saved you some time.Īll of the below meet my requirements above unless said otherwise. With that said, I'll start reviewing the suggestions I was given (and whatever else I tried), from best to worst, and tell you why it doesn't work for me. This means that if I am using something else, it has to be better I am not changing the stock file manager because I hate it, I want to change it to get an upgrade. If it doesn't have one of these things, then I won't use it (I didn't think I was asking for too much at first, I underestimated how complicated it can be to develop a file manager) You have to keep in mind that if I replace the stock file manager, it has to have: Good design, Dark mode, and high speeds. I had already tried the few that solved some of the issues (better search indexing, loads large folder instantly)Įdit: I looked at the suggestions, I want to let you know that none of them worked perfectly. I didn't try all the suggestions I found online, but I find that a lot of them don't try to be good looking.

Thumbnails for images, large, medium, and small.

#Xyplorer 2 reviews android#

Also access hidden files, usb drives, different partitions, and the storage of connected devices (external drives, android phones). Able to delete, copy, and move multiple files.Ability search large folders without crashing (File explorer can crash even if you search a folder that has 300 video files.).Ability load large folder with over a thousand files.Better search indexing, not slow and doesn't affect the entire machine.I need it to solve the following issues and provide the following features With a navigation pane on the left side, that has the ability to show only one window at a time (not be forced to show 4)

#Xyplorer 2 reviews windows 10#

I want something that looks just as good as the stock windows 10 file explorer, and shows thumbnails just as good.

I had seen some suggestions online, but I want to try and see what suggestions I get based on what I am looking for.
