I will definitely do a video on it at some point, thanks for the comment👍

XD

Yh that is annoying to be fair especially with other file types like HEIC and HEVC and other file types that windows has to render I believe. Just when compared to the Files app does FE seem fast

Thanks for the suggestion, I've heard of one commander but not doublecommander, will check it out 👍

Now that you bring it up I'm surprised also that there is no way to change the font natively, might there be a 3rd party way to do this?

@Productive_Tech Microsoft's answer is to change your system resolution I can't do that because if I do the software I develop will not look right for people with normal vision.

I love this analogy XD. MS is MS. They always do this kind of thing from hardware to software choices and indeed design choices as well

The laptop is the XPS 15 9510, I have used it for around 3 years and have done a full review of it here if you want to check it out :D th-cam.com/video/j-g7ng-chqA/w-d-xo.html

If they wanted to they would of by now. It's a MacOS feature and I think the argument from MS is that the breadcrumbs in the title bar with the tiny drop down arrow achieves the same thing, which is true but it cant beat having the dedicated layout of miller columns

I don't think so as it has it's own modern context menu that is similar to way that nilesoft shell operates in regards to the icons and clean aesthetic

@Productive_Tech I'll try but it's not a problem if it doesn't work, just if it don't makes bugs or something. Thanks for this app anyway !

Fair point made. Agreed if there was a lighter version with the ability to turn certain features on and off in order to increase performance would certainly be interesting

Yes a lot and V4 Will Come soon

Haven't experienced this too often unless I open lots of tabs or do large file transfers. I know they come out with new versions every so often so it might be a case of waiting. But yh this app is notoriously just on the edge of usable/annoying in regards to speed and performance for many I feel

@Productive_Tech No brother, In my case I use to experience this crashes after every second. Like If I to copy paste a file of 5 mb, it will crash. And this is the single reason which forces me to uninstall it 🥲

Ok that's crazy man, I think this might be an issue on your end maybe cause I definitely haven't had this level of crashing. I've only had crashing when opening lots of tabs and doing lots of transfers. But that's just my experience :/

Thanks! 🙂

Not that I'm aware of as I don't use Android :/

Some other viewers have also mentioned this, might look into it at some point in the future 👍

@Productive_Tech It is a bit slower, but the amount of things you can do with it is pretty incredible.

Appreciate that will check it out 👍

Agreed, though I find that the interface being simple and easy to use can be easier to navigate at times especially for those who might not know how to mess with the windows registry

Thanks for correcting me there, I just made the assumption without digging or looking further 👍

@Productive_Tech no problem, i used to abuse these to install stuff on my school laptop lol

Yep I think if they can solve some of these issues for the various system variations that people use it would be a good incentive to switch to it if your looking for a modernised alternative

Interesting, I think it might be too technical for me but can definitely see other people gaining value from this. Thanks for sharing, will add it on my list of things to cover.

Fair, just thought to share my experience on it as it seemed interesting. :)

Alright you got me 👀, yeah I work on multiple at a time and the actual voiceover was done a while back as other elements were being added in and while also working on other videos. Not to mention I don't always release based on what is done but also based on the topics I've put out recently. But yh my bad XD

@Productive_Tech it was just a little detail. You did a complete, easy to understand and good quality video

No worries, I appreciate that! :D

Never tried Linux, maybe it's time to move to the light side... 👀

I think it changed at some point so that the way to get it for free would now be from the website and if you wanted to pay and support the developers for long term use there would be an easier way which was through the Microsoft store.

To be honest it's not just the file explorer it's other aspects of windows as well. If it was any other platform people would be going mad but windows and Microsoft often just get a free pass with some of the UI and design decisions. Windows is highly scattered and inconsistent and I don't see it changing any time soon unfortunately. Maybe it's time to switch sides to the light side 🐧 or the dark side 🍎, depending on how you look at it XD

@Productive_Tech I switched to the light side years ago and it's great, but I still have windows for a few things(I also like to check in and see if they improve, but they don't) and if I help anyone it's typically windows, every time I use it, it sucks.

One day I might get around to testing Linux out and making videos on there as well, but for now it's windows only and yes I do find alot of it annoying hence the videos to get the most out of it and avoid the annoying stuff lol. Thanks for the comment.

Never heard of it until this video and seeing other people comment about it as well. And to be honest I can see why people use it from the brief research that I have done on it - it super powerful and functional. I have definitely added it to my list of topics to cover at some point in the future cause there are many people that would gain a lot of value from a program like that but just don't know about it or just want a guide on it before starting. 👍

@Productive_Tech Another one to view is "Quick Access Popup" - Fantastic app, free for Windows & still updating, I would not like to use windows without it!

Thanks! 🙂👍

Yep completely valid on windows 11 Microsoft closed the gap by adding tabs in file explorer but in windows 10 Files was even more compelling. Have you tried the replacement toggle switch that I showed where you can replace the files app from a system level. I haven't tried it but just thought to mention it if it helps

@Productive_Tech I have tried it, however it doesn't replace the file picker in other apps. I do actually use QTTabBar to tweak the file explorer to add tabs, and it has worked wonders for me. Too bad there's no dark mode.

@Productive_Tech I have tried enabling that option, which does work for showing files in the file explorer, however it doesn't replace the file picker when opening files in other apps. I have been using QTTabBar, which tweaks the windows file explorer and adds tabs as well as many other things. It has worked wonders for me. Though it would be even better if it had a dark mode.

@Productive_Tech So, my reply keeps getting deleted, but the gist of it is that didn't work and I use QTTabBar.

XD yh its open source and don't think anywhere near the number of people worked on this compared to the file explorer. I think in the long term I see FE just gaining these features slowly. I mean surely Microsoft can't just do nothing for another 10 years??

The thing is that Microsoft doesn't care while this is made out if passion

Registry tweak in registry manager?

Maybe 2025 is the year they fix the performance side of things...

Ah thank you so much, I really appreciate that!! 😊

You are most welcome! Glad my videos are useful to people out there! :D
