xplorer² version 2!

Like Windows Explorer, Only Perfect!

*** Due to the overwhelming response zabkat has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***

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

Or perhaps you've recently moved 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!

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! The new version adds a number of powerful features. Take a look:

  • Dockable, floating panes allow you to drag the tree and drop onto to any of the 4 corners of xplorer² window.
  • Dual bookmarks are similar to bookmarks but hold two folders, one for the left (top) and one for the right (bottom) side panes.
  • Tab locking: Locked tabs stay put and any browsing in them results in the opening of a new tab.
  • The shell context menu now includes a custom xplorer² submenu where you can add any menu command to suit your needs.
  • Much faster browsing!

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.

Mike James Now seems to be at version 2.
Can't wait for this!
Jan 1 at 3:21am
Roberto uhm, i have total commander, ztreewin, xyplorer, directory opus.. but at 50% ill give this a try.

thanks for this deal.

PD: when include the lifetime option, looks like to order from the vendor with the 25% discount its cheaper than buying with BDJ deal and the lifetime separately.

but i think the v1... was from 2004 until 2011
Jan 1 at 6:54am
Stephen Kunkel Highly recommended. I've never been sorry that I bought this software. Yes, v2 recently came out. I think the above screenshots are v1 though. I'd recommend getting the BDJ deal, then later down the road, get the 'life time lic upgrade,' which is $25 US. Also, there's a free Lite version, if you want to check that out. (Though I think it might be a 30-day trial of Pro, that defaults into Lite... Don't remember.) There is a very active forum too http://netez.com/bbs/index.php so you can ask questions. Lastly, there are some cool free tools that forum members have made, which enhance the usability of x2.
Jan 1 at 9:13am
Greg Hanson Can you use regex when searching for files?
Jan 1 at 9:24am
Roberto Lifetime is 40$...
Jan 1 at 11:06am
Gonzo I hope the developer can clarify the following:
xplorer² is licensed per user.
xplorer² may not be used at the same time on multiple computers.

If it's licensed per user, then the customer should be able to install in as many computers as he owns, so the second statement doesn't make much sense.
Jan 1 at 11:36am
Jan-Christoph Ihrens @Gonzo: Normally one person does not work with several compters at the same time, so it absolutely makes sense. It still can be installed on more than one computer, but you can only use one installation at a time.
Jan 1 at 2:46pm
Gonzo I'm sure I'm not the only one that finds it a bit confusing and that's why I asked for clarification...
Thanks anyway.
Jan 1 at 5:38pm
nikos bozinis xplorer2 is licensed per user, so it means that if you are the only user and have 100 computers then you only need 1 license.

Regarding the lifetime cover, it is not part of the promotion but you can purchase it as a bundle for the reduced price of $30, you will find a checkbox for that when you order
zabkat Vendor - Jan 2 at 12:41am
brenda Adams I love the program. I bought Dec 18, 2009.
I want to upgrade to v2.xx. Can I take advantage of this discount offer for $14.97 and buy v2.xx Pro... as though I were a new customer? Worth full price to upgrade, but thought I'd ask before I purchase.
Jan 2 at 7:52am
Bruce Have been looking at XYPlorer and Xplorer2 off and on. Both look nice and have large feature sets.
This Xplorer2 deal looks promising.
I would love for the 50% discount apply to the lifetime deal as well.

(I confess to sometimes bewilderment at various vendors' multiple purchase options...)
Looks like:
- regular Xplorer2 = $29.95 Bits du Jour special = $14.95
- regular Lifetime extension = $39.95 (when ordered separately)
- Lifetime extension if bought with Xplorer2 = $29.95 (+ 29.95 = 59.90 bundled price)
So Bits du Jour special with regular bundle-price Lifetime would be 14.95+29.95 = $44.90 I guess.
It would be SUPER if vendor would offer the 50% on total bundle as an option as well.
Here is hoping.
Jan 2 at 7:53am
Roberto Hello Bruce, the vendor said about lifetime will be 30$. Then the BDJ deal will be the cheaper choice in both cases.
Jan 2 at 8:01am
Stephen Kunkel @Greg: I think it can use regexps for file content, but only wildcards for file/folder names... I don't often use them, so not sure. The PDF manual can be downloaded separately here:
http://zabkat.com/alldown.htm
And here is an excerpt from the manual:
"Regular expressions (“RegEx” in short) are used to find text that meets complex search conditions. You can use regular expressions to search text files and those non-text files for which Ifilters are installed on your PC. (We will use a common term, “text”, to mean the contents of all such files.)"
Here's an image of the Find dialog that I just made: http://i.imgur.com/7EsS2.png

@Pricing: See the comment of Nikos Bonzinis, above, he is the developer/distributor. Sounds like you CAN get the pro liscence AND the "life time upgrade assurance" at 50% off, which I recommend.
Jan 2 at 9:02am
Joe McCormick xplorer 2 v 2.0 is a good program. It has a lot of features, but I don't think it is as user friendly as other file managers I have tried. I have been using the trial version for about 10 days.

I also find that your online documentation is rather old. You need to update your manual so it reflects your new 64 bit version. I did download you PDF manual version 1.8.0.0.1. It looks rather outdated.

Even though I have some issues with the program I will probably buy it at the 50% discount when it becomes available.
Jan 2 at 9:40am
Benny Edward Is it better than XYplorer?
Jan 4 at 12:55am
winton guy There is no Paypal Option. why? website says paypal supported, plimus says paypal supported too.
Jan 4 at 1:01am
Software Guy Definitely shows no paypal payment option. Looks like 14.97 plus 29.95 for lifetime support. Portable is an extra 9.95.
Jan 4 at 1:49am
nikos bozinis you can order with paypal but plimus won't accept it. In other words you cannot use paypal and get the discount today, sorry! Please use one of the other payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, etc)
zabkat Vendor - Jan 4 at 1:51am
Gonzo If I pay the extra fee for the portable version, do I only get the portable version? Or do I also get the regular version?

Also, if I get the portable and lifetime upgrades, do I have to request a new file from you every time there's a new version? (ie. submit a support request or something similar). This question came to my mind due to the fact that the Portable version is "watermarked" with the user's name and stuff.
Jan 4 at 2:10am
Software Guy A lite version is also available for free. The comparison feature matrix vs windows explorer and the full version can be found here http://zabkat.com/comparison.htm
It is a nicely featured free version and might do the job for many users on their laptops and netbooks. A download button is located on the bottom of the page.
Jan 4 at 3:03am
Ralph Bressler I bought the program with the "portable" option. I got an e-mail saying I would have to WAIT a few days for my portable version to be compiled! WHY at all and WHY a few days? How about having some "compiled portable versions" on hand? What about a faster compiler? IT used to sometimes take us HOURS to get a program compiled but that was years ago on an a PDP-10!
Jan 4 at 4:07am
JT Newell Why does this say deal expired? I jut got the email this morning that the discount was available.
Jan 4 at 7:01am
Nico Westerdale JT - It's not expired! I blame those pesky gremlins again.
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 4 at 7:02am
Roberto It works for me.
Jan 4 at 7:04am
Ken Cotton I am not seeing the "bundle for the reduced price of $30" mentioned above.

The 50% discount is only being shown for the "main license" which is -$14.98

I bought version 1.x years ago and am still using it, so I think I simply need to get the "lifetime assurance upgrade", but a $30 bundle is cheaper than the normal price.
Jan 4 at 7:05am
Joe McCormick Benny Edward asked, Is it better than XYplorer?

In my opinion it is much better. I bought the lifetime XYplorer here a few months ago. I have used it, but the more I do the more I don't like.

One feature I really like in xplorer 2 is that columns selection is more customizable then XPplorer. XYplorer is only a 32 bit program, but xplorer2 has a native 64 bit version.
Jan 4 at 7:39am
d d Very fine prog indeed, with Comments column being displayed (select by Alt-k) and Quick Search (Menu: Mark - Quick Search, but you can assign a shortkey of your own if you want) to search (by : yoursearchterm Enter within the command line) for files (or even better, filter: ditto but with shift-Enter then) by entries / codes in that Comments column, thus it's possible to do some project management with it, e.g. by entering codes like $a, $b, $abe, $abf, for assigning one file to several projects, to delegate a file to somebody, to encode envisioned further proceeding of the file, etc....

But there is no way to close the Comments dialog (Alt-z) again, preserving changes, but clicking on the ok button with your mouse, which is not handy at all if you use this "tagging" feature again and again, always changing / adding / deleting "tags", upon proceedings with the files in question.

There's Escape, control-F4 and Alt-F4, which all close the dialog, but WITHOUT preserving the changes you've made, and Enter, control-Enter, shift-Enter and alt-enter all insert an unwanted line within the dialog, instead of closing it; a second alt-z does nothing, not working as a (possible) toggle.

Could you add such a feature for keyboard-driven closing of the dialog, please? Or is there a trick that does it already?
Jan 4 at 7:45am
Avi S I just purchased xplorer2 here and I am very pleased. Although I did already purchase the extremely flexible, customizable and powerful xyplorer when it was offered here a couple of months ago, I was nevertheless very disappointed with xyplorer when it came to shell integration. Specifically, whenever I copied/moved files within xyplorer, it insisted on invoking the standard (and poor) Windows copy dialog, rather than using my installed third party tools (supercopier2, teracopy); and after inquiring with xyplorer's support I was simply told that it's not supported.
On the other hand, xplorer2 shines when it comes to shell integration. First of all, file operations do indeed use the installed supercopier/teracopy handler. Additionally, it has an option to configure Windows to open all shell windows by default with xplorer2 (that is, I don't need to specifically launch xplorer2; I can work as I normally do, by simply pressing Windows-R for the run dialog, typing in the name of the directory - say, c:\temp - and then the directory immediately opens up within xplorer2).
My only gripe so far regards the keyboard customization window. In xyplorer the keyboard customization window was generously sized and easy to navigate, presenting hundreds of possible actions in a well organized format, and even providing a button to print a "cheat sheet" of all existing shortcuts and their corresponding actions. In xplorer2, in contrast, the keyboard customization window is *tiny* and not even resizeable (it actually looks like a relic from Windows 3.11 days). It is very difficult to locate relevant items, and the options are significantly more limited than xyplorer (for instance, xplorer allows assigning separate keyboard shortcuts for "copy filename to clipboard", "copy full path to clipboard", and "copy just the folder path to clipboard". In xplorer2, as far as I can tell, there is only a single option to copy the whole path). So, if you xplorer2 guys are listening, I would very strongly recommend that the keyboard customization component be revamped: (1) A bigger resizeable window for navigation (2) Ability to do a search to find the action item I am looking for; (3) ability to output a cheat sheet; and, most importantly, (4) to provide more options for keyboard shortcut actions, in line with the flexibility that xyplorer has, most specifically regarding options for copying to clipboard.
Nevertheless, all in all, this product is Highly Recommended!
Jan 4 at 8:17am
Lupke Brother @ Benny Edward "Is it better than XYplorer?"

This allways depends on your personal needs. Read a lot of reviews like the ones above and try them both. Xplorer2 is a good tool, but what I don't like about it is that xplorer2 uses Windows Explorer’s built-in file operations. Most other tools use their own file operation system. Correct me if I'm wrong. XYPlorer has a one time fee with a lifetime license (pro version) and a free portable version. Both tools have good support, but I prefer the very responsive and very active developer and support forum from XYPlorer. I'm not saying xplorer2 does not have this ;-) But in the end....you have to figure out which one matches what you do the most and buy that one. You'll do great with both I believe.
Jan 4 at 8:41am
PeLi Added to my file manager collection ;)
Couldn't resist being that cheap!

When will the manual (PDF file) be updated to version 2?
Jan 4 at 8:44am
Bob Horton I'm at the checkout page now and it seems that the total price if you buy the lifetime upgrades is $44.63, not $30. I thought I saw the developer say earlier in this thread that you could buy hte "bundle" for the discounted price of $30. Did I misunderstand or is the price wrong at checkout (note that it is reflecting the discount on the product itself).
Jan 4 at 9:31am
Roger Thomasson @ Bob, Ken

At first I didn't understand the confusion, but reading back through I see. I believe what Nikos means is that you can purchase the lifetime OPTION for a reduced price $30, and add it to the cart on top of our $14.97 promo price for the base program.

In other words, our $14.97 + the reduced $30 lifetime upgrade IS the bundle.

Still an amazing deal :)
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 4 at 9:37am
Michael Crosson Are there any deals for existing customers who wish to buy the lifetime upgrade option?
Jan 4 at 10:02am
Roger Thomasson @ Nikos

Please correct me if I'm wrong :)
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 4 at 10:06am
Prasad Paranjpe Yes, Nikos please clarify.
I purchased a copy of version 1 a while back. I was planning on buying the v2 package deal if it was $30. I really just need the lifetime option. Is there any deal on that? It does not make sense for me to buy the combined deal for $45.
Jan 4 at 10:53am
nikos bozinis as I said earlier, the lifetime cover is NOT discounted today. If you don't want to spend too much why not just buy v2 for $15 today and worry about upgrades in the future? Another option (if you already own v1.x) is to just purchase the lifetime cover for $40, but you can buy that any day of the week :)

so to recap today you save $15 buying version 2. If you buy the lifetime cover as a bundle you save a further $10 off its regular price, for a total of $45
zabkat Vendor - Jan 4 at 11:22am
Roger Thomasson Thanks for the clarification Nikos :)

There it is folks, I think we can leave off this particular discussion now and leave the conversation thread free for other questions and comments.
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 4 at 11:55am
Benny Edward @Joe McCormick
Thank you for your comments. I am trying xplorer2. looks good:)

@Lupke Brother
Thanks for the brief comparison. Surely I will grab this one today.
Jan 4 at 12:27pm
Thomas K @Nikos: great software and it seems also a great offer, but ...

1) I own a PC and Laptop ... can I use the software on both or do I need 2 licences?

2) Is the 12 month upgrade inclusion only for major releases (v3, v4 etc) or minor (e.g v2.1, v2.2 etc) or even for any bugfixes ?
Jan 4 at 1:30pm
Simple User @Nikos, the offer sounds great and my experience with the lite shows its a must.

But I still have two questions to the policy description:
1) it says upgrades will be free for 12 months - does this purely refer to a full new version (i.e. explorer2 v3) or minor upgrades (e.g. v2.1) or even also to patches
2) I own a PC and laptop -so do I need two licences or is one sufficient (these are non-multi user only purely me). Here I do not understand the description "...may not be used at exactly the same time on multiple computers."
Jan 4 at 1:39pm
Prasad Paranjpe Thanks. I just picked up v2.
Jan 4 at 2:22pm
Gonzo Apparently my last post got lost in the sea of questions, but I'd really like an answer, so I'll repost it:

If I pay the extra fee for the portable version, do I only get the portable version? Or do I also get the regular version?

Also, if I get the portable and lifetime upgrades, do I have to request a new file from you every time there's a new version? (ie. submit a support request or something similar). This question came to my mind due to the fact that the Portable version is "watermarked" with the user's name and stuff.
Jan 4 at 2:42pm
Software Guy Not having heard from the developer, here is how I read it straight off the order form-

the order for xplorer2 professional v2.x
Volume Discounts Available $29.95
Please consider the following optional extras. Just tick the relevant box below to add one or more to your order. For more information click on a
optional extras
free lifetime upgrades assurance $29.95
portable version upgrade (single user) $9.95

so as I see it, you should get the installed version PLUS the portable which only makes sense - why need to plug in your usb to your main use machine - seems redundant. It is an EXTRA..
Jan 4 at 5:36pm
HJ B Does the developer have any comment upon the question of whether de-installation of this application will restore the operating system to its prior status?
Jan 4 at 9:04pm
Steven Avery Five minutes to possible (recommended) extension ... we have so many comparisons to make, calculations, run through test mode.

Jan 4 at 11:54pm
Nico Westerdale Due to the overwhelming response zabkat has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy!
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 5 at 12:00am
James Kenney OK, just bought it and will add it to my toolbox, now I only need to complete my collection! :-)
I got the lifetime and the portable addons.

Just to be sure...
After my three portable version are used up, I have to order another $9.95 portable edition, and that will get me another three copies???
Or does the $29.95 lifetime license get me lifetime upgrades to the portable editions also?
Jan 5 at 12:22am
nikos bozinis further clarifications on the licensing:

1. xplorer2 is sold per user. So if you are just yourself and own 10 computers, you only need one license

2. the portable edition is something EXTRA you buy, and you get both it and the 'normal' version -- you paid for both! The portable version isn't covered by the free lifetime upgrades warranty, see here for more information: http://zabkat.com/x2port.htm

3. Upgrades are guaranteed free for 12 months but usually your free upgrade period stretches much longer (7 years for version 1.x!). However you may be asked to pay at any moment after the first year, unless you also buy the free lifetime upgrades cover.

if you have any more questions you will reach me quicker using the contact form: http://zabkat.com/contact.htm
zabkat Vendor - Jan 5 at 12:25am
Jim Ganw Any possibility of accepting PayPal as payment for this promotion? The zabkat.com site will accept PayPal when purchasing at full price. Other BitsDuJour vendors' specials accept PayPal, why not zabkat?
Jan 5 at 6:37am
Roger Thomasson @ Jim

This has already been addressed above, but the thread is getting a little long so I won't force you to search for it :)

Anyhow, it's not BDJ or Zabkat, but actually Plimus (the payment provider) that cannot accept PayPal. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it for this particular promotion.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

-r
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 5 at 10:11am
Jim Ganw If that's the case, then why can it accept PayPal when you order directly from Zabkat site?

Sorry for losing a sale.
Jan 5 at 1:59pm
Roger Thomasson @ Jim

If by 'it', you mean Plimus, it can't. PayPal is an alternate option on the Zabkat website, but it is not an option via Plimus on the Zabkat website. It's a little confused I know. This is a recent decision by Plimus and one that has more than a few people frustrated, but there's not a lot we can do in the middle of a promotion.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Note that we're aware of the problem and looking for workarounds.
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 5 at 2:05pm
Dave Davies Does xplorer2 have an in-tree folder-size display for all folders a la ExplorerXP? Don't think so, but if I'm wrong, I'll buy it.
Jan 5 at 2:05pm
Joseph Terry I have version 2.0.0.1 [Unicode] x64 purchased on 9/19/2011 -- is this an upgrade to 2.? and if so am I entitled to a free upgrade? When I hit "check for upgrades" the x2 website says I have to pay $29.xx for the upgrade?

Is this a substantial upgrade from 2.0.0.1?
Jan 5 at 2:06pm
Nico Westerdale More on the Plimus PayPal issue.
Plimus is making some changes as to how they integrate with PayPal and have some new features rolling out in about a month. We're watching this closely as other Plimus vendors that we feature might be affected, but we expect it'll all be resolved when that rollout happens.
BitsDuJour Admin - Jan 5 at 2:09pm
Joseph Terry I was able to do the upgrade from x2 website by downloading 2.0.0.3 and installing it over my current install.

I love x2 and can't imagine not having it. It does more than I need and what I do need it does effortlessly and comprehensively.

It is so comprehensive that I feel compelled to read the .pdf to learn about the functions I don't use... but I do agree that the current .pdf needs to be updated ASAP.
Jan 5 at 2:29pm
Louis H The Plimus PayPal issue shot this deal down for me. I recently had to cancel my card due to a suspicious charge that I could not account for and won't have a new card for a few more days. I have Pay Pal set up for bank transfer and simply not willing to do so via another system at this point in time. Nonetheless, it's a nice utility and hopefully one day such a deal will reappear here at BDJ.
Jan 5 at 3:03pm
Jim Ganw Still don't understand why you consider this a Plimus issue? It's a BitDuJour issue. Why would you create a deal whose point is INCREASE sales for a vendor, not reduce sales by limited payment options. And the basic question remains unanswered:
The Zabkat site offers the following payment options:
Plimus
ShareIt
PayPal
TrialPay

Why aren't these same payment options available for the BTJ sale?

There's nothing we can do in the middle of the promotion. End of story. As Nico already stated, we are aware of the Plimus situation and awaiting resolution on their end.

As to why we can't offer 4 discrete payment options on Bits... there is a complicated, convoluted set of answers absolutely inappropriate for this comment thread :) I understand that on the surface it probably seems simple, but believe me, it is not.

Roger Thomasson Folks, just want to pause to thank you all for making this the most successful xplorer² promotion ever on BDJ! We've already smashed previous sales records and this is with over 8 hours left on the clock.

And most of all, thanks to Nikos for bringing us this exceptional title!

Emil Kucera Niko said "if you are just yourself and own 10 computers, you only need one license"

My desktop is 32 bit, laptop 64 bit. I am the only user - would a purchased licence work for both downloads?

nikos bozinis yes, the same key will unlock both 32 and 64 bit versions

Walter Lindrum Q1. Have you now added the ability to buy the program as a gift for other people, or, to buy and register the program in a name slightly different to what is on your credit card?

Q2. Now that there is Version 2 of this excellent program is there also a version 2 of the portable version?

A friend of mine tried to post similar questions but they dont appear here at present so as I'm very interested I thought I'd ask too

Steven Avery Hi Folks,

And I actually purchased ver 1 a while back and let it sit (there are a few excellent file managers out there and I am used to Total Commander). However I will probably take 2 and try to push it into normal use, as I can see some very nice features and dedication, with nicely implemented tabs, saving of configurations and various other goodies.

I had to search around a bit to find a good pic of side-by-side dual pane, found it in the synchronization tips video. I ferget which of the two similarly-named programs resisted dual pane for awhile, so I wanted to see the pic.

Your forums, video, look-and-feel esthetics and dedication are note-worthy. The best type of Bits are these 100% sound companies.

Thanks.

Steven

As an FYI...

I could not access PayPal as an option from either the BDJ link nor the direct link at Zabkat. So AFAIK it is indeed a Plimus issue and not specific to BDJ.

Pay Pal issues aside, I still appreciate all that BDJ and many of the vendors do to bring us really great offers. I missed this one, not due to anything on the part of the vendor or BDJ, but I know that each day brings an opportunity for picking up other great deals on a wide variety of software.

So thanks again to BDJ and Zabkat for this one. I do hope it comes around again soon!
