XYplorer Lifetime License Pro

The Ultimate File Manager

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

When you really think about it, file management in Windows hasn't really changed all that much since the olden days of Windows 3.1. But the way that we use our computers, coupled with the explosion in the number of files that we now store, has made dealing with file management an onerous, almost painful task! Thank goodness XYplorer is here to inject some balance, order, and fun to file management!

XYplorer is the last file manager you'll ever need to install! With XYplorer, you get multiple tabs to jump quickly between folders, a powerful search function, a preview feature that should have been part of Windows years ago, and a highly customizable and intuitive interface. Even better, XYplorer offers this to you in a very fast, very light application that doesn't require any installation or make any system or registry changes. Intrigued? Read on.

If you're a fan of tabbed browsing, you already know how to work the tabs in XYplorer! Click between folders, rename them, reposition them, and drag and drop files onto them -- a whole lot easier than using Windows Explorer, that's for sure. You can even create a tab dedicated to a search filter! The Dual Pane makes it easy to move and copy stuff between folders, plus there's Manual Sorting to enable you to view files exactly as you like. And when you quit XYplorer and come back later, your tab configurations are there waiting for you!

Combine this extraordinary functionality with intuitive Tree, List, and Mini-Tree views, and you're all set with XYplorer. The Mini-Tree contains a history of files and folders that you've actually used, so it's easy to jump to something you've been working on. Ever wanted to create a magic button to launch files in your app of choice? Custom Toolbar buttons makes that happen! You can color code your files, tag files, highlight and bold favorite folders, or use the Catalog function to combine folders and items from all over your hard drive, LAN, and the Internet under a single heading. There's even support for file names longer than 260 characters, an impossibility in Windows! Plus, aliases make typing long directory structures into the address bar a thing of the past!

The robust features just keep on coming with XYplorer! Imagine one-click previews of any of your media files, plus multiple (up to 100) level undo/redo for your file operations that persists from session to session. An advanced Recycle Bin that leaves your default Windows Bin in the dust! You can even enable queuing in XYplorer and stack file operation jobs without even waiting for the first few to finish, then continue working as your jobs complete in the background!

XYplorer also offers Select Special, which lets you modify selections in one pane based on items in the other pane, synchronous scrolling and sorting of both panes, the ability to bring back accidentally erased selections, item name editing, and a quick way to bump selected files up in the folder hierarchy!

Version alert!!! Besides a new tag-based file management system that makes searching for labels, tags, and comments even more comfortable and powerful, here's a sampling of what's new in XYplorer v10.90:

Branch View: View the contents of all subfolders of a folder in a single list.
Multi-Branch View: Quickly view the complete contents of two or more folders in a single list. These folders can even be in totally different locations.
Automatic Rich File Operations: Now (where appropriate) copy/move/paste operations can optionally copy the source folder structure and thus avoid collisions of the sources in the target location.
Tabsets: Now you can save and load the tabset of a pane. That means all tabs including their layout (tab settings and tabwise list settings) and contents (cached search data, find settings, homes, history, etc.).
Grep: Finding files by content now supports Regular Expressions.
Rename Special: Now you can mass-rename files using meta properties like camera model, width and height, or bit rate.
and much, much more!

“Robust features and extremely fast. I have used this portable software daily (9 to 10 hours a day) for approximately one year. I truly believe this is my most useful software on the windows platform.

I have purchased/used several explorers over the last 14 years. This software stands in a league all it's own. I use the portable version on a Corsair Survivor GT. I often have 10-12 tabs open at a time (accessing Network drives). XYplorer is extremely fast at accessing the network drives and uses very little resources. Adding templates to the 'New Items' options (right click in a window) ==> provides a great deal of flexibility. The Wiki knowledgebase link (from the developer's web site) provides a wealth of easily understandable information. The scripting is also quite powerful. I spend approximately $1,500 on software each year and this is the best application I own. I liked the software enough to buy a lifetime license (and I very seldom buy these type of licenses). This software is consistently rated 5 out of 5 on many web sites. My review is typical of the comments/ratings posted. Thanks for the great software. SIgned, AS400 Systems Programmer for over 23 years.”- W. Droge, USA
“XYplorer is not about any one particular feature; it's about how all those little parts come together to form a cohesive application. Days, weeks, months after you install this gem you will notice those little treats that will make you smile, and say to yourself, "Mmmm, Nice." Anyone who has used this app for any length of time will see that every feature was carefully considered before it was added. Just USE it. You will love it!

This application is a work of art, it really is that.”- Ax Fleming, USA
“Let's face it, I'm a hopeless techno-junkie. My latest fix, "XYplorer" is the cleverest file management program I have ever encountered and I've been vetting software for quite a few years. Having used several file managers, including dual pane, I was blown away by XYplorer's tabbed interface. This makes flicking between several drive partitions and file groups unbelievably quick and easy.

The multitudinous things this user-friendly program can do continually amaze me but are far too numerous to go into here. It's even more astounding when you realise how small a footprint XYplorer leaves on your hard drive. It does not even have to be installed.

Importantly, I had an almost immediate and very helpful response from the developer himself, when I emailed a few questions. Not bad considering that I'm still waiting for replies months later, from others to whom I've emailed software queries.”- Brian, Western Australia
“XYplorer is perfect for an admin like myself to take with them on an USB memory stick when helping users logged in as users or power users without having to mess around re-authenticating all the time, since they can do a RunAs on XYplorer directly and authenticate just once to then browse to many servers without the need to log the user off and on as them and without constantly being prompted over and over again for credentials, etc.

Windows Explorer does not work well with RunAs. There is a trick of using Internet Explorer instead to get around this, however, this no longer works with Internet Explorer 7.

Using XYplorer instead works great for this! All of my favorite settings will save right to the USB memory stick, and there is no need to have it installed on all the computers that I use it on since it is portable!! Very cool!”- Bruce Weston, I.T. Manager at BASIC, www.basiconline.com
“I recently downloaded the trial version of XYplorer and am really impressed! I'm usually one to support open source communities by using and contributing to their software, as I am a software engineer by trade. Yet, there appears to be no open source project that I am happy with for file management on Windows PCs. I am usually very picky about applications' GUIs. As a software engineer, very few applications satisfy my high expectations of both visual aesthetics and usability.

Then I found XYplorer. Everything I want to do with file management is included in XYplorer. Nothing is out of place; everything is so easy to find, even information in the help files.

"I quickly found what I was looking for with your "Backup" option to act as a Copy w/ 'no to all' option that File Explorer and Windows Explorer lacks. I instantly transferred over new and newer version files from one folder on one drive to a duplicate folder on another drive. It found 2 newer versions and a dozen new files out of 16GB of 58,000 files. Wow. It would have taken me days to sort through my files and file the new ones. I might have even missed the new versions all together on my own.

I also found worthwhile options, including one of my favorites: automatic folder size calculations. I have a Western Digital Raptor drive with fast access, so I can take advantage of quick folder size calculations.”- John Suit, State College, PA, US

Avi S I purchased XYplorer last time it was offered on BDJ. Overall it is a very impressive program. The flexibility of its keyboard shortcuts is second to none, with a slick interface providing the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to hundreds and hundreds of very specific operations. For instance, you can have a shortcut to copy the current filename to the clipboard; and a separate shortcut to copy the current path; and a third shortcut to copy the name with the path, etc. Power users will appreciate this flexibility and specificity.
However, one drawback of the program is its lack of support for custom file handlers, like teracopy or supercopier. In contrast, Xplorer2, another competitor offered from time to time on BDJ, does support these custom file handlers. When I inquired with the XYplorer developers about adapting XYplorer to use such installed copy hooks, their response was a simple six-word negation: "sorry but this is not possible."
To be sure, XYplorer does sport its own Custom Copy Dialog, which fixes most of the shortcomings of the default windows file handlers. For instance, it provides a pause button, and it provides an option for verification. And it also provides queuing of multiple copy operations.
However, note the following:
1] For some odd reason, XYplorer's custom copy dialog is not enabled by default; by default it will simply use the Windows default handlers for all operations. So all of you XYplorer buyers, make sure to enable the custom copy dialog for a pleasant and robust file handling experience within XYplorer!
2] It still does not live up to the flexibility of supercopier2. I'll give two examples:
(a) supercopier2 displays a list of all files included in the given operation, and allows the user to remove and reorder files in the list as the copy operation proceeds. This is very useful when performing large operations over thousands of files, but completely lacking in XYplorer's copy dialog.
(b) one of the main reasons for pausing a long file operation is to perform some small but more urgent copy operations in between. However, in XYplorer (with queuing enabled), pausing a given operation also prevents all other operations from executing as well! That is, after pausing the first operation, there is no way to tell XYPlorer to execute one of the queued operations in the meantime. Nor have a found any way to reorder the items in the queue (is there such a way?)
Thus, all in all, the lack of support for 3rd party copy handlers is a serious shortcoming in XYplorer, and, and, at least for me, the primary reason that I stopped using XYplorer after my initial purchase of it.

Mar 2 at 1:24am

Donald Lessau That's a surprising comment because since v10.00 (July 2011) XYplorer comes with its own native copy handler called "Custom Copy", which can do everything and much more than TeraCopy or similar products. You just have to tick a checkbox in configuration to let all your copy and move operations be handled by Custom Copy. In the current version this checkbox is even ticked by factory default.

XYplorer Vendor - Mar 2 at 4:53am

Donald Lessau Hm, now you edited your first comment so that my last comment does not make much sense anymore.

Anyway, since you obviously just discovered Custom Copy some minutes ago it might be too early for you to review its functionality. Otherwise you would have seen that you can in fact start invidividual copy jobs while the queue is paused and thus manually alter the sequence of the jobs.

Conc. the factory default my previous comment was plain wrong, sorry about that. I really thought I had implemented that. I might do in the next version.

XYplorer Vendor - Mar 2 at 5:38am

Avi S @Donald,
(1) Please explain how one can start one job while the queue is paused. I've tried it several times, and the subsequent copies just get added to the queue. How can I have them proceed? (I can view the queue in XYplorer, but I don't see any option to startup items lower in the queue or to rearrange the order)
(2) You've stated that Custom Copy "can do everything and much more than TeraCopy or similar products." As I've noted, this is not quite accurate. There are quite a few things that supercopier can do that Custom Copy cannot do; for instance, supercopier displays the full file-copy list, and allows the user to delete or rearrange the order of items in that list while the copy proceeds.
I'd love to see this feature added to XYplorer's custom copy.
If you truly aim for your custom copy to match supercopier, this is imperative. And if you don't have time to add, please allow us to use third party copy handlers, as we can do in Windows Explorer and in xplorer2.

Mar 2 at 5:49am

Donald Lessau (1) Please post usage questions in the user forum (http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/index.php). You will get quick and competent answers.

(2) OK, "everything" was exaggerated, but "much more" was correct because Custom Copy surely has some features that not all of the others have, e.g. Verification, Safe Overwrite, various "Suffix increment on collision" options, and detailed Reporting to screen and to file. And, not to forget, Multiple Undo/Redo.

BTW, I don't aim for custom copy to match supercopier, or teracopy, or any other software. I aim for XYplorer to be a great file manager. Not for everybody, but for a good subset of all users.

Avi S OK

Mar 2 at 7:22am

Overtkill I'm a long time user of Directory Opus. It looks like this file management software has come a long way since I last previewed it (around 2009). One thing that is better about your product right away is that you offer lifetime licenses for a good deal.

Perhaps worth another look.

Mar 2 at 10:27am

Donald Lessau Yes, the lifetime license is a good deal, and it's per user, so it covers any number of machines.

For an alphabetical overview I recommend the Feature List (http://www.xyplorer.com/features.php) with links to detailed online documentation.
For a chronological overview (in terms of added features per version) I recommend the What's New list (http://www.xyplorer.com/whatsnew.php), again with links to details.

XYplorer Vendor - Mar 2 at 11:56am

Louis H I picked up the Lifetime license last time around and am glad I did. While I also use Directory Opus, my everyday - go to file manager has become XYplorer. One of the things I appreciate the most is that Donald is constantly working to improve it. I still consider myself a novice using XYplorer.... Lots to still uncover. I'd highly recommend this one to anyone in need of a good solid file manager.

Mar 2 at 3:59pm

manu.v I have the Lifetime license, my best purchase in years.

Mar 3 at 5:54am

sasa s This is my favorite software. I would probably crying if I have to go back on Windows Explorer. I've been using XYplorer since version 8.50 (illegally). I really want to buy it but in mine shity country (Serbia) there is no paypal service. Maybe next time.

Mar 3 at 6:56am

M B I bought your program from Bits, but how do I tell if it is a Lifetime License or not, or is that standard procedure?

Update: I found original purchase email and indeed it is LTL! :o)

Could you please tell me if there is a way to have XY auto start?

Thank you

Mar 3 at 3:07pm

Donald Lessau Auto start XY on Windows start? Put a shortcut (LNK) to XYplorer.exe in the Autostart folder.

XYplorer Vendor - Mar 3 at 11:55pm

Software Guy This is an great offer for a top notch file manager with a user license and lifetime upgrades. Always fast and top notch support from the developer. Lifetime license represents excellent long term savings. If you do not already know about XYPlorer then download and give it a try. The other 3 big Windows explorer replacements are Directory Opus (excellent, full featured but expensive and with expensive upgrades), XPlorer2 (another excellent file manager was $60 for lifetime license on BDJ as I recall, very full featured, different design philosophy than XYPlorer) and Total Commander ($46 with free updates to date - again excellent and full featured). Some users like Powerdesk (now charging for .5 version upgrades!!!)
XYPlorer is full featured, has great developer support, has a lightweight and fast feel. Though I have all of these file managers, XYPlorer is my go to file manager. It is the clear value leader with lifetime updates and a user license at $35. Highly recommended.

Mar 4 at 5:49am

Cameron Gay I have been using the application for anumber of years now and it's a great app.

One of the best purchases I have ever made!

Mar 4 at 12:08pm

J Scott I tried to order but received a strange notice "Unfortunately, the PayPal transaction for your order [order number] has been delayed. We will inform you as soon as we have received your payment."

Then I received an email saying the transaction had to be manually reviewed.... I do not see the transaction listed in my PayPal history, do I need to do anything or contact anyone?

Mar 5 at 12:27am

Donald Lessau @J Scott: I have not yet received an order by J Scott. I'm quite sure it will come through later. We have seen an occasional delay in previous promotions and in 100% of the cases it came through later. Thanks for your patience (and your order!).

XYplorer Vendor - Mar 5 at 12:49am

Nelson Carvalho I use XYplorer for years and I can say that it's highly recommend. It has many features, all useful and practical. XYplorer is continuously updated, adding new features.

Mar 5 at 5:04am

Steve Wood I can heartily recommend XYplorer. I used PowerDesk for years, and then Opus for a few years, and would probably have kept on using Opus without looking beyond if not for Win 7 requiring an expensive Opus upgrade. But, since I did go looking I found XYplorer, and it is impressive. Has most of what is good about Opus, and some things Opus doesn't--portability (no mucky install and can be run off a USB stick), manual file sorting in preparation for sequential renaming, custom highlighting of files in the file list based on age, size, type, etc. But, the best feature of XYplorer is the developer--never in over 25 years of working with computers have I seen the kind of support this product offers. If you want FTP in your file manager or want to manipulate images within your file manager, go with Opus. Otherwise, XYplorer is the winner.

Mar 5 at 6:57am

VLM Wish to buy it, but when I click to display the volume pricing I get a little blank window. Conald, could you post the volume pricing here? (Or fix the little window, but that might take longer. :):)

J Scott @Donald Just to follow up, my Paypal payment went through (according to emails received overnight) about 4 hours later and I woke up to my XYplorer registration info in my inbox. Not sure what happened but it worked out well in the end. Thanks for this deal! I already had XYplorer on my computers from Giveawayoftheday but getting lifetime updates was too good to pass up. :)

Mar 5 at 10:22am

VLM Donald - ShareIt (But Roger has already told you. :)

Roger - Thanks!

Observation: I last looked at XYplorer at version 9, and now version 10 looks vastly improved. I have to say, I bought Directory Opus 10, opened it, looked at it, and never really used it. I downloaded XYplorer 10, opened it, and began using it immediately. This just SEEMS more intuitive. Maybe that's because DOpus has a bunch of features this doesn't.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? What about with Total Commander?

Does XYplorer offer dual panes, so you can drag and drop back and forth?

Mar 5 at 2:05pm

Bruce Have been using a previous free (GiveAway) version, and like the product.
Decide to buy this Lifetime Pro license from BDJ today, so that I can keep up-to-date.

I do have a few suggestions from my use of XYPlorer,
- one is to allow for more customization of the directory file content reports -- a feature I would love to use more from XYP so I can 'retire' several other programs I use to get those lists currently.
- other relates to preserving folder dates on copy/move folder to another drive.
I can post details to your support forum, or email with example (which preferred?)
thank you.

Mar 5 at 5:32pm

Mark Stahler I bought xplorer2 when it was on sale last. It is okay, not great. I tried the trial of this too and xplorer2 is better. My trial of Directory Opus 10 only has 20 days left and I think I will cry if I have to use xplorer2 or XYplorer instead. Get DOPUS on BDJ ASAP!

Mar 5 at 6:45pm

David Hyre The developer recently added the ability to save groups of tabs and recall them quickly, also with the recent ones on a quick-retrieve list. WHAT AN AWESOME OPTION - each project can have its own set of directory tabs open, and switching projects takes less than 1 second. GREAT productivity feature! He is *always* adding new and USEFUL features like this, cannot say enough good about support and continued development.

I had bought a 1-year license from BDJ, and nearly cried when it ran out and the next version had a must-have feature! Luckily, the lifetime-pro deal came around shortly after, ending my pain.

Mar 5 at 9:49pm

Donald Lessau @VLM: Has it Dual Panes? Sure! Menu Panes / Dual Pane (F10). :)

ener virg @ Donald
Right now I got 4 computers at home. Is it possible to install XYplorer to all my system at the same time? It hard for me to buy a software that can only be installed in one system. My point is, most people now own more than one system.

toni S Hi Donald i am from Germany,i have bought the Liftime License for your wonderfull best supported Product yesterday, now my question - supported xyplorer in future version German language too? this was so great,my english are very bad.

Mar 6 at 12:38pm

brenda adams Donald,
Somebody asked if Icons are supported. (Apparently, Opus only supports colored folders (not icons).
It's my experience with XYplorer that it DOES support icons. I wish I could show a photo of mine. You might want to put up a photo of XYplorer with lots of pretty icons. (I love icons...I love to pretty up my world.) hee hee
To all:
Donald is always...so hard-working and giving. His program is fantastic; his support is continual. I wish every owner was more like him!!! I don't think I've ever encountered better, actually. (Great user forum, too. VERY devoted followers/users.)

Mar 6 at 12:39pm

Mary Wilson Thank you for the links. I am still trying to figure things out, but I think I will probably purchase this as it looks like it will be usefull when I finally figure out how to use it properly. Can I put this on both my main system and my laptop without purchasing two of them?

Mar 6 at 2:19pm

Steven Avery Hi,

Xyplorer and the others like Total Commander are all fine programs. My historic use is TC, but I own Xy from the previous Bits and want to branch out. Xy looks much stronger in integrating search (a major plus, and a TC weak point, lack of multi-threading, lack of convenient saving), and the tabs are a great way to have multiple spots on hold. Also the tree on the left is nice for navigation along with some of the highlighting.

All these programs work real hard, Lifehacker reviewed a top five once, including XY.

Xyplorer implemented dual panes a bit later than most, so it is not its most native use. One of the nice things on TC is the very trivial "F3View F4 Edit F5 Copy F6 Move F7 NewFolder F8 Delete" group of commands at bottom in dual pane mode, after you highlight a file or groups of files. Are similar buttons (the keys are less important) there, or can they be customized in Xyplorer ? Drag-and-drop is always limited, since it can only be one command. And Menu bar navigation is less elegant than a simple button.

A text under icons options would be nice on the bar, rather than thinking and hovering.

Thanks

Steven

Mar 6 at 4:50pm

VLM Donald, is it possible to get a tree structure in the right-side tabs, with the little + signs to open and close them. That would make each tab a completely self-contained unit. Just an idea, if not implemented. I've looked thorugh about 2/3 of the configuration settings at this point, so I may not have found it. And some, I'm going to have to look up in the manual. :)

Mar 6 at 5:00pm

Steven Avery Hi,

Great documentation of features at:
http://www.xyplorer.com/product.htm

Things like catalog and mini-tree look very well-designed.

Under My Network Places, does xyplorer get involved in reestablishing those webdav type of connections that you might have with your cloud save. (e.g. Drivehq). There are lots of utilities but that is a frustrating area, so I wonder if you have gotten involved in that.

Steven

Mar 6 at 5:04pm

VLM Donald - I'm beginning to learn this application, so far it seems great in many respects. I have found one thing that gets in my way, and I remember not liking this when I briefly tried XYplorer more than a year ago. When I open the Find "dialog", it's locked in the lower right corner of the XYplorer window. Unfortunately, I expanded the left column of the window, so that part of the Find dialog is cut off unless I shrink the left column every time I use Find.

So ... can Find be cut loose from that location and made to float?

Thanks!

Donald Lessau @ toni S: A German version is planned.

Donald Lessau Steven Avery: Are similar buttons (the keys are less important) there, or can they be customized in Xyplorer ?

Donald: Yes, you can create custom toolbar buttons and customize all keyboard shortcuts.

Steven Avery Hi,

Donald .. my point was that simply "map a drive" sometimes is a little dicey and spicey. Handwork each session. Finding the spot, which seems to be a bit different from point A to B.

Or trying to write the proper batch file. It is nice to be persistent, (which is not the native default XP method) and it is nice to have an easy disconnect . When you go back in, sometimes it is a bit funny the way the url comes up (granted, too, XP seems to need a signon).

And there is a whole history involving products named Netdrive and Webdrive. No one utility stands out.

Now, I do not know of any File managers that have incorporated this in their mix (so this is not at all a criticism) however it would be a good sub-unit, naturally related to File manager. To assist in the various aspects in mapping. Just a thought, a suggestion.
