Learn them and you have learned a valuable skill. And, all of those scripting languages are way more powerful. With any number of freely available "Open Standard" scripting languages around (Powershell, Perl, Python to name just a few) why on earth would anyone be so stupid and learn a new scripting language for a program that may not even exist in a years time. My response to that is "you cannot be serious". I'm not saying XYplorer can't do any of these things but I have searched the help and the only search answers I get are about it's scripting capability. CrystalDiskInfo does this and it is totally free. I want a file manager that reports on failures in my drives and warns me when they are about to fail. I want great sync and backup functions built-in to my file manager so that I can do a restore directly from my file manager. I want a file manager that gives me a great view on where my space is being used. I want to set security profiles and have it run through my file system telling me where I have files that don't match my criteria. I want it to know what other machines I have on my network, remember how I access them and what I have on them. I want to be able to run remote SSH commands direct from the interface. I expect to be able to run Powershell scripts with an interface that knows what Powershell is. In 2014 I want a file manager that integrates with today's world. Try typing FTP into the help search and see if it helps you anymore than it helped me. Other programs do this but if XYplorer does I have failed to find it.ĭoes it have an FTP client built-in, an FTP server? If it does I sure can't find anything about it. anyone use those in 2014? I have probably 50 flash drives and it would be nice if it remembered the drives I used. I have so far found it offers no help in managing removable drives - it even still gives an option to show floppy drives. I wouldn't use it to manage any multimedia files. I would never use this program to manage photos/images. I don't doubt for one minute that it is a powerful program but in every area other programs do it better and easier. Try searching help and you end up with scripting syntax for the most simple of things. None of these seem to be in logical places and nothing helps you go through them. With this program you get nothing except masses of menu items and options. It is like something written 20 years ago.Įven the most basic of programs have wizards for complex tasks. If you go in to set options (or which there are so many you loose the will to live!) there is no "Apply" button so if you want to just set one option to see what it does you have OK it, which exists the screen. There are loads of options but none of the basic things seem to be easy to do.

Please tell me what is so good about? I find the interface terrible.

Buy Lightroom and it is like a totally different world. So, it brings up a screen shot if you right-click a thumbnail, wow!!! It does it slowly and badly.

Where are all the screen shots to help you get started? For managing pictures it is terrible. if you like reading strings of numbers you will probably love it. The documentation seems like it was written by an accountant. I find it the worst file manager I have ever used. I'm lost as to why you guys like this product.
