*** Great News! zabkat has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***

Have you recently to Windows 7, but can't stand the frilly new interface with all the bells & whistles?

Why don't we make a deal - you get to use a file explorer that looks substantially similar to the Windows Explorer you've grown accustomed to, but in reality is a powerhouse of intuitive and effective file organization!

Today we're offering both the Professional and Ultimate versions of xplorer²! See what you get with xplorer² Ultimate!

Haven't you been putting up with Windows Explorer long enough? Do you want to move to a more powerful, flexible file management system?

At first glance, xplorer² looks like familiar territory, with its tree view user interface that lets you see your files and folders. But then, you start using xplorer², and suddenly realize the power beneath your fingertips - browse multiple folders using tabs, invoke a dual pane view, assign frequently used folders to Favorites (even use bookmark panes), instantly jump to root directories, and maintain easily accessible folder groups. All of that stuff that was impossible to do with Windows Explorer becomes an everyday occurrence with xplorer²!

Tired of opening file after file, looking for the right one? With xplorer²'s quick preview panel, you won't have to anymore! Looking for a specific file using search terms? xplorer² has a powerhouse of a search utility, Omni-Finder, enabling fuzzy logic and text searches using file comments, picture data, attributes, keywords, and practically all shell column handlers that are supported by your Windows OS.

These are only the highlights. xplorer² comes with a wealth of features, including advanced file management for large transfers, file comparison and synchronization, and direct execution of commands from the console!

Version Alert!!! Since we last promoted xplorer² it has moved into version 2.2! The new version adds a number of powerful features, but the most exciting is in dramatic Windows Desktop Search (WDS) improvements. In a nutshell, xplorer² sorts out the existing WDS reliability issues, and provides direct access to many if it's more powerful features. And if a traditional WDS search doesn't produce the results you're looking for, you can directly access xplorer²'s "robust search" for even more targeted results. The end result? Much faster searches across your entire PC!

But that's not all! Check out the v2.2 changelog for even more improvements!

xplorer² does so much, we can't even begin to cover it all here. Spend a few minutes browsing through the enormous collection of xplorer² video demos for a comprehensive introduction.

You can get xplorer² version 2.2! with the following license types:
Pro Version ($29.95)
Ultimate Version ($49.95)

F.J. Garvin OK..Someone was going to ask anyway so I'll kick it off. I already own Pro. The cost to upgrade to Ultimate is $20. With todays deal, the upgrade diff is only $10. Can I somehow use today's deal to upgrade to Ultimate for the $10? Hey..just went through Christmas...who's got money?
Pro or Utilimate tho...its still a great substitute for Windows Explorer. And I checked out a lot of the alternatives. Here is the Wikipedia link to the comparison charts. You will see X2 gives you the most bank for the buck:

Mark Johnson I have used xplorer2 for several years, and highly recommend it.
If you do a lot of folder/file manipulation, it will pay for itself in time savings in no time flat.
Jan 1 at 10:26am
PJ Harr Will the 'lifetime' also be discounted?
Jan 1 at 2:26pm
nikos bozinis Happy new year everybody!

This deal is only for the main product. It doesn't apply to upgrades or to the free lifetime cover. But you can buy more than one license at the discounted price.
zabkat - Jan 1 at 11:22pm
Dave Schmarder I'm also a pro user that would like to upgrade to the ultimate version. This is an excellent program!
Jan 2 at 12:10am
Karl M. Long time I was a loyal user of xplorer2 but the developer kicked me out. So I had to find an alternative and found XYPlorer a much better alternative.
Jan 2 at 2:50am
Mark Johnson For those Pro users wanting to upgrade to Ultimate -- if it has been over 1 year since you purchased your latest Pro license, there is no upgrade path to Ultimate (you have to pay full price). In that case, you might want to purchase the Ultimate on sale here.
Jan 2 at 7:23pm
Danny Yes, this is an excellent software application!
Jan 3 at 12:11am
Thomas N Hello,

Last time I purchased on BDJ Pro Lifetime ver. Can I upgrade to Ultimate now? And how much is this?
Jan 3 at 1:01am
nikos bozinis this offer is for new purchases only, not upgrades. But contact xplorer2 support for a good deal on your upgrade too!
zabkat - Jan 3 at 1:24am
Carl Matteson Hello - I recently downloaded Xplorer2 lite. A terrific program and I want to buy the full version at the discounted price under this offer.

Your website indicated that the lite version had been upgraded to work with Windows 8. This offer indicates that the Xplorer2 version 2.2 on offer works with Windows 7 but fails to mention Windows 8.

Does this version 2.2 work with Windows 8?

Thanks.
Jan 3 at 3:47am
Roberto xplorer2 is an example of good sinergy features, works quite stable in my machines, lightweight, licensed per user, no silly activations...

i own another filemanagers but they are getting dust.
Jan 3 at 3:55am
winton G without buying lifetime, how much upgrades do we get? one year or all of version 2
Jan 3 at 4:04am
Stephen Hines Might be an amazing piece of software, but the publisher really should bring their website out of the 90s. It really is awful.

Daniel Jones Can it be installed on all owned computers?

Justin Cram Would like to make this purchase I used to use directory Opus all the way from Amiga days to the 2012 opus 10 is has become fluffy very user eye candy friendly simplified now-days its changed so much it's not the same power house it used to be! one thing i've been reading is the ability to have this in the special past menu make junctions or symbolic links if this is so i'm liking this already i used to be able to make my own menus in opus versions 8x and 9x but in 10x they re-wrote everything again frustrating and will not ever give GpSoftware one red cent again! i refuse i've paid for upgrades since the beginning if i can pay for a onetime lifetime that also interests me! i do have questions please, what is the difference between the ultimate and the pro versions? i seem to not be able to find a side by side caparison

Roberto ultimate.. in few words.. is a portable version of xplorer2 plus windows search integration.

@Carl Matteson
yes xplorer2 works with windows 8 but if you don't trust me just install it and run it for free for a while :)

@winton G
you get free upgrades for a year, then you may have to pay more. The version you buy is yours to keep forever

@Daniel Jones
if you are the only user then you can reinstall xplorer2 as many times as you like

zabkat - Jan 3 at 6:01am
Binkie Boy When you say "direct access to many if it's more powerful features" do you mean "if it is more powerful" or "if it has more powerful"? And what does it mean?
Jan 3 at 8:57am
Mark Johnson @Justin Cram -- with xplorer2 you can create a folder junction through the copy/paste menu. Basically you copy a folder, go to where you want the junction, and do 'Edit - Paste special - Folder junction'.

however, you can do the same in dopus, through clipboard / pastelink. The target can be junction, hardlink, softlink, or relsoftlink. NTFS links are supported on NTFS on Vista and high OS, and are default when using those systems instead of junction.
Jan 3 at 11:39am
John Westbury I assume - because it's not listed above or on your website - that you're not offering the Ultimate version with Lifetime updates as part of this BDJ offering? [Sorry! I found the answer to this later when I was purchasing] However, I did note that the prices quoted here are all excluding (the relevant) Taxes.
Jan 3 at 3:13pm
Dierk Have been playing with the "Ultimate" version of Xplorer today, including spending a fair amount of time looking at the various Video Examples.

App has a somewhat odd looking interface, and many more options than most users (self included) will ever figure out - or effectively utilize.

Still, there seems to be a lot to like here, and - primarily on the basis of the sample videos / help files, am placing an order for the Ultimate version, in the hopes that it will prove a suitable replacement for the no longer trustworthy PowerDesk (a long-time personal favorite).
Jan 3 at 6:49pm
Garrett Goyette I notice the ultimate version claims better large file handling. Does this mean that it will be faster than the pro in copying and moving files. Just wondering... as more Speed Better!!!
Jan 3 at 8:18pm
Steven Avery Hi,

xplorer2, Xyplorer and Total Commander are 3 generally superb products, inexpensive, good forums, etc.

(DOpus is good but more $ and many freebies like Free Commander are good on a less elegant level.) It is worth it to own at least one of the 3, and maybe more.

We discussed this on DonationCoder. I am used to Total Commander for its simple in-your-face dual-pane approach. (Which you can do with all the programs, ultimately) However I get nervous with TC on super large folders with multi-thousands of files. In my experience, xplorer2 and Xyplorer are very fine for that need. I will say that when I asked for a new feature (a date top-level sort on a multi-level sort that ignores the time) Xyplorer had my request in a Beta version in 2 hours !. That was impressive. http://www.donationcoder....ic=33470.0 xplorer2 did not have the feature.

However that being said, all three programs have strong pluses. I own this program too, from a while back, and am glad I have a license, for the pro, that nicely allowed the one-year update to 2.2. a couple of days ago.

So, I'll probably live nicely with what I have and then in a year or so consider going directly to an ultimate or 3.0 or something of that nature.

Since I am in the one-year I should check to see if there is some ultimate upgrade that is available .. today .. and why in the world I would want the ultimate anyway !

Watcher1924 Hi. Does the program support (or will support in the future) scripting, custom commands, user defined commands etc.? I don't really know what I'm talking about but I need to start using such features soon, so I would like to learn about any macros or advanced automation xplorer² may provide. Btw, any links about that?

Is there a lifetime license?

Where can I send you a funny comment about the program? (I don't know if it should be posted publicly because many people could misunderstand the meaning of it)
Jan 3 at 9:15pm
nikos bozinis Watcher1924, xplorer2 already supports custom commands etc. You can access the online support straight from within xplorer2 (see HELP menu)

BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 4 at 12:11am
NC Buyer Can this product be scripted / automated to run repetitive tasks?
Jan 4 at 3:13am
Amit I would like to have some help on some things not working for me in the ultimate trial -

1) How can I set size of files to be shown in my chosen format (the options on ultimate even are very limited) and not as much as opus. I want to use MB and auto as szie of fies shown in details view for files.

2) How can I print a list of folder contents / structure to html ?

3) I would like to save tags for some files and folders + also comments for files and folders - but comments for files cant be added - it gives just a sound (only comments are being added for folders here). Is there any way to export / store / print a list or file of these comments and tags also ?


Much appreciated if any help. thanks.
Jan 4 at 4:28am
nikos bozinis Amit, you can have sizes either in plain bytes or rounded to the nearest kb/MB depending on size. This is from TOOLS OPTIONS menu

to print folder contents you can use this trick
www.zabkat.com/blog/16Dec07.htm

you can't change icon sizes from within xplorer2, but there are some tweak-UI kind of tools that allow you to do such things
zabkat - Jan 4 at 4:53am
Amit Hey thanks.

I really was looking for customized icons size - atleast 64 if not more, could any help be provided on how to get that going.

And any response for the tags and comments question.More than anything, a feature to export to a html / likewise file of all comments / tags added would be really great, if can be added / already somewhere there.
Jan 4 at 5:02am
nikos bozinis comments for files are supported, but there are a few windows gotchas there, see here:
www.zabkat.com/blog/06Jun...mments.htm

once you have comments then you can do whatever with them, e.g. search for them or print them (see the trick I mentioned above)
zabkat - Jan 4 at 6:09am
Nico Westerdale Happy new year Nikos! Great to have you back on BitsDuJour!
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 4 at 7:03am
John Derudder They add tax (= of the VAT % from the destination country). That's illegal !

If the product here in the US costs 14.97$, I suppose that's included with the US VAT tax.

So adding another VAT % from the destination country is not normal. This way one pays VAT 2x !!!!
Jan 4 at 8:16am
Roger Thomasson @ John

This is absolutely normal and absolutely not illegal. We don't expect vendors to subsume taxes applied by destination countries and nor should you.

We don't like VAT either, but we can't change national policy!
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 4 at 8:25am
Louis H John, in the US there is currently no automatically added on VAT tax for most folks who make a purchase online. So the price when stated in terms of US dollars is strictly the MSRP. When we do pay tax on something purchased in the US it is added on at the time of purchase. Just like the VAT overseas. Right now there is a lot that can be purchased online within the US that does not get a sales tax added on. (Our politicians on the state and federal level are working to try and change that.) :-(

The VAT,as I understand it, is something that is simply added on to any purchase made within the boundaries of a country that charges the VAT and the Vendor, nor BDJ has any control over that.

You are NOT, however, getting taxed double, as there is no US tax already added into the price as stated. If someone in the US has to pay a tax because of which state they live in, it would also be added onto the sale price as stated for today's deal.

Hope that helps....
Jan 4 at 2:15pm
John Derudder I don't think you understand it. The price is tax included or not, whatever, but if a country in this case the US it can apply the VAT taxes for that product, the VAT taxes that are applicable in the US. A vendor from a foreign country has no right to apply the amount of VAT taxes that are applied for that product in the country of destination. Only a vendor that sells a product in a country to someone living in that country can apply VAT taxes to that product. Here the vendor is not situated in my country so he has no right to apply the taxes that are used in that other country.
Jan 4 at 3:05pm
Roger Thomasson @John

I don't think this conversation needs to go any further. If you really think that Plimus (the eCommerce provider) is doing something illegal I recommend that you take it up with your legislators .

Bottom line, we think you are misinterpreting both the tax and the law.

Feel free to email me personally if you come up with confirmed contradictory information, but in the meantime please leave this comment thread free for product-related questions.

BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 4 at 3:10pm
Sam Calabrese I am a *long* time Total Commander fanatic. I'm looking at xplorer² as a possible replacement or complement. I, too, have been having issues with TC on large (3TB) HDDs. Sometimes it hangs for up to 30 seconds before completing a command and refreshing. (To be fair, I haven't worked with Christian on this yet.) xplorer² looked like it is worth a try at this price.

FWIW, I had some hitches installing xplorer² ULT 32-bit on a 64-bit Win7 Ultimate PC. I was not able to paste the activation code into the control window. The 64-bit version works fine.

Nikos has been prompt in answering email - sometimes within a couple of hours. Very surprising with this promo going on. Good marks for post-sales support so far. :-)

David Vaughan Hello Nikos Bozinis,

I purchased the Professional version January 2012 so my year of free upgrades is about to expire. Not sure if you are enforcing the 1 year upgrade policy. If so, I might want to upgrade to Ultimate from within the program for $20 if this also gives me another year of "free" upgrades? If this method does not extend upgrades for another year, I will be better off buying a new license today via the BDJ special! Please comment.
Jan 4 at 6:46pm
nikos bozinis David, either way will give you a fresh 1 year of free upgrades
zabkat - Jan 4 at 10:45pm
David Vaughan I did the Ultimate + Lifetime. Now I just need to start using it!
Jan 4 at 10:53pm
John Derudder @Roger, I just wanted to add that normally the VAT is charged by the country of destination and it is that country of destination that you owe that VAT too.. In this case I'm paying the VAT of the product and the amount of VAT that is applicable in my country to someone in another country. You seriously think they (Plimus) are going to pay back that amount of VAT to my country ? If the price of the product is w.o. VAT they can charge me the US VAT tax, not the one applicable to in my country. End of story 4 me.

And 4 such a small amount I'm not going to bother any legislators.

Can't even pay through PP it seems.
Jan 5 at 5:59am
NC Buyer It says

"*** Great News! zabkat has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***"

but I see the deal is expired. I would love to get this! :-(
Jan 5 at 6:30am
John Derudder It still remains a good product. I've been using the free version 4 several years. Here in fact I was only interested in the Ultimate version and unless I'm wrong there was no deal 4 that version.
Jan 5 at 12:41pm
Louis H The deal was for both versions. I picked up the Ultimate at the discount price.
Jan 5 at 2:07pm
NC Buyer Its conflicting. So I am confused.

On one side of the page it says the deal was extended an extra day and on the right side of the page it says expired. Which is it?

I would really like this product.
Jan 5 at 3:43pm
Louis H The deal was good for Thursday 010313 (the original day of the deal) and Friday 010413 (the extended day of the deal). BDJ has not updated the Ad Copy where the deal had been extended for a second day on Friday 010413, so it is confusing for folks just showing up.
Jan 5 at 5:09pm
NC Buyer Oh damn. How often does this go on sale? I cant believe I missed it.
Jan 5 at 5:26pm
K X @John Derudder

As with many Bits du Jour sale pages, when the sale is active, and you click on the buy button, there's a list of different versions on sale and their prices.
Jan 5 at 5:31pm
John Derudder I was a daily visitor of GOTD. But since they've added something to their programs, I prefer paying a little bit for a program without some sort of spyware they're adding to their free stuff these days at GOTD.
Jan 6 at 10:48am
Louis H NC Buyer.... according to the old comments, it was offered twice in 2009, not at all in 2010, once in 2011, and twice in 2012. (If I read the various dates correctly) So who knows? But if it does come back around this year it looks, based on the past, that it might not be for at least 6 months or so. (I'm now really glad I bought it this time around.)
Jan 6 at 5:08pm
NC Buyer @Louis:

I guess I will have to wait. Funds are very low for me. Just had a kid + the holidays. Was hoping to get in on that deal. Too bad the comments are not updated based on date because I tried to figure out what I was doing wrong when it said it was extended but also expired. Ugh.
Jan 6 at 6:00pm
Steven Avery Hi,

Write directly to the vendor, and share your case, sometimes they make special post-facto arrangements. No harm trying.

Alternatively, or if that does not work, or if you want to save up for a higher grade of oatmeal for the young one, just live with the best free versions for awhile, and jump on the next special you like.

I mentioned the big 3 above, there are various free versions and various specials down the pike.

xplorer2 and Xyplorer, both fantabulous programs, have been occasionally on Bits.
