Introducing XYplorer
|
XYplorer, previously known as TrackerV3, has a long-standing reputation as a fast, light, and solid file manager with a strong search, a versatile preview, and a highly customizable interface. With each version XYplorer pushes the art of file management to a new level. Here are some general thoughts on this art.

There's always somebody waiting...
While computer hardware is permanently gaining speed, and software is getting more powerful (and sometimes even smarter), the evolution of the user is pretty stagnant: Staring at the screen, pointing, clicking, pressing, dragging and dropping all day long at the same speed and the same level of smartness. And usually either the user is waiting for the computer to complete some task, or the computer is idly waiting for the user to give it something more interesting to do than processing a keystroke. There's always somebody waiting...
Naturally, when I couldn't make XYplorer faster anymore I started thinking about you! And I decided to make you faster...

Spending time with files
In file management, lots of time and energy are invested in searching for files, navigating to locations, selecting a specific set of items, renaming a bunch of items according to a certain scheme, archiving items in a smart way, moving items to the place they should be, creating new items, folders, and folder structures, opening items with an application of your choice, previewing images, audio, video ... and so on and on. Not to forget trying to remember how a file is called, where it should be located, and where it, in fact, is located. On top of this, you have your boring daily routines, stuff you find yourself tediously repeating over and over, and you wished you had a button labeled "Do My Daily Stuff"... well, XYplorer lets you create this button!

The Elements of Speed: How XYplorer makes you faster
XYplorer's key to efficient file management is personalization: Shape your tool. Take a look at three core components that will save you lots of time, energy, and money:
Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts. You can freely and easily assign any of hundreds of key combinations to hundreds of functions, including your own custom functions and scripts. Whatever you can do in XYplorer, you can do it with one keystroke of your choice. Learn more...
User-Defined Commands. Write your personal file management routines in the most user-friendly way. Go To, Open, Open With, Copy To, Move To, New, Rename ... wrap those tasks into UDCs, and have them magically appear in the User menu. Give them catchy captions, and assign keyboard shortcuts to them. The number of UDCs is not limited, they are retained between sessions, and they are portable between computers. And, as always in XYplorer, no registry is involved here. Learn more...
Scripting. Now this is the ultimate in file management efficiency. Roll your own custom commands, or command batches, wrap them in an XY Script file (XYS), or a User-Defined Command, and trigger them by just a click or a keystroke. Can't get any better? It can! Share scripts with colleagues, or download them from the internet: Just drop a script file into your app folder and fresh plug-in commands are at your finger tips. Learn more...
These components allow you to manage your files with a perfectly adapted tool. You will eventually find out that file management can be a relaxing and joyful experience.
