Xplorer² browsing model scales up well to large folders with thousands of files. You can even save and restore folder groups whenever your workflow deems necessary. You can navigate your shell namespace quickly using favorites, clickable paths (breadcrumbs), easy access to root folders, a tree and a bookmark pane (Dropbox) etc. Sorting out and copying files becomes a breeze. Unlike Windows explorer, xplorer² allows you to browse more than one folder at a time, using tabs and dual panes. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not really complaining because Xplorer2 Lite, which is offered free for personal and academic use and is actually an overall useful program however the fact remains that - simply put - the free version is FAR LESS useful.Xplorer² is a dual-panel desktop file manager combining the simplicity of windows explorer with the speed and efficiency of traditional dual pane orthodox file managers, helping you be productive with your documents, pictures, music, source code and other files. But for me, the biggest negative is that you still must use the Windows Explorer search function in order to search for any files. This can make for an extremely frustrating experience while using it, because many of the options (those that are made unavailable) are not clearly labeled as such. Often time's free versions of software are independent of their paid upgrade, however Xplorer2 Lite is simply Xplorer2 with more than just a few of the far more useful options turned off.
Three other man features of the Xplorer2 Professional version not present in the lite version are advanced search (Omni-Finder), full Unicode support and robust transfer. For example: As opposed to the professional version this lesser version basically lacks customizability and any "search command." Additionally, Check Duplicates and Compare Subfolders functions are disabled in the 'free' lite version. However, I gradually became disenchanted that the more advanced features are restricted to the Pro version.
I actually used Xplorer2 (as well as its predecessor: 2圎xplorer) "Lite" version a dual-pane file manager for Microsoft Windows operating systems, for several years and enjoyed it very much as an alternative to Windows Explorer.
