Expressing a viewpoint necessitates a downvote?
Nothing wrong with expressing an opinion, and I'm not here to defend you against downvoters, but from my perspective it's an uninformed opinion. All of the "issues" you identified are really just preferences and the dev was kind enough to let you configure the app as you'd like. It would be impossible for the dev to create a set of custom settings that every user finds perfect, so your other comment about "hostile de…

BTW windows now ship with a clipboard tool like this using Windows + V shortcut. I use other tools you mentioned already though. Need to try ditto. Is there a list of similarly *fast* alternatives like this for windows (+other OSes)?
Idk if this is still the case but back when I tried the built in clipboard history when it was first released, it didn’t handle formatted text well, nor did it handle multi-media particularly well, if at all. One of the best parts about ditto is that you can choose to paste with or without formatting
The are indeed many clipboard managers across all platforms, but none have the perfect UI of ditto. Its ditto's UI that needs to be copied everywhere else.

#215I've used irfanview for more than 15 years now. Mostly for looking at pictures. It's plenty fast.
Doesn't work super well with multimonitor and should just ignore non-image files though imho

Each their own, that's mine. Note that this is not a tech user or developper list, but the list of what I install on any new windows pc, including those at work etc ... 7zip (open any archive) VLC (open any audio/video file) IrfanView (+ the "all plugins" installer on the same page, open any picture file) SumatraPDF (read PDFs) Libreoffice (to open any office files) NAPS2 (easy scan, and split/merge/... PDFs) Ditto (…
Thanks for sharing your list; I already use many of them but learnt about a few new ones that I'll try. I second Everything, the best, nifty little, Windows search utility that is blazing fast.
I find everything is more than just file search. It often works super well as a stand alone file manager.

As an only occasional windows user, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing such a list, maybe in a GitHub gist if you find yourself bored one day :)

You only left out Bulk Renamed Utility

There are many like it but none finer.

FYI, Irfanview might not be able to pull it from an url, but it's playing ful hd video just fine although I wouldn't use it for that.
>it plays full HD video WHAT? IN 4 MB??? WHAT??? That's amazing!
I'm just at the Revision demoparty in Germany, you should see the audiovisual stuff people are doing in 4kb (yes, 4096 bytes)!
Modern operating systems and especially web dev have made entire generations forget how powerful computers and software are / can be.

Not using windows much anymore, but great to hear about O&O and ExplorerPatcher. I notice you don't list an ssh client. I still install cygwin for that. Anything new besides putty?
