You can download Far Manager here, i strongly recommend. It has integrated file preview and all the things you'd expect, but also throws in a great folder synchronizer, an amazing "mass file rename" token language for those large tricking bulk renames, rule-based file section, a macro language and it starts up faster than a new explorer window.īoth of these great tools are bound to hotkeys on my systems and make my life easier. Far Manager is a program for managing files and archives in Windows operating systems. It's got the same familiar Norton Command dual-pane view with the quick switching with "Tab" feature. There's so much goodness in xplorer 2 I will have to blog about it separately. My other favorite Explorer Replacement is xplorer 2 from Zabkat. It'll take a while to get used to, but wow, you can fly once you've taken off. Some of my favorite features? Start it up and press Ctrl-UpArrow for a while, then Ctrl-DownArrow. The first is FAR and the real story is it's plugin support. The best ever, even, there's no question of that (Seriously, get on board, the PowerShell is poised to take over the planet, but I digress.) but if you really want to stop dragging files around in Explorer and start doing some serious damage, take a look at these potential additions to your tools list. Misha Bergal emailed me recently reminding me of FAR, a text-mode Norton Commander clone with Windows long filename support. You think I'm fast now, back in day™ I was fast as lightning on a stac'ered 386sx. " The Norton Commander is the most useful DOS program ever written" says the Commander Homepage, a site dedicated to Norton Commander.
