Just wow. Seeing the demo, I just hope Microsoft can do somthing like that with current Explorer app. It's good now but still can improve more with something like File Pilot
Are you able to clarify what it does better now than it did 10, 15, 20 years ago?
I’m not sure if this is really the right place to ask, but it’s close enough so I’ll ask anyway - why are there no apparent file explorers that allow simultaneous “multi depth” viewing? For example, if Folder A contains only Subfolders B and C which are both empty, why are there no explorers that show eg 2 boxes called ‘B’ and ‘C’ inside A’s icon/view? If a directly has dozens of empty folders, and 2 subfolders have…
It definitely seems useful to have a view where folders are simply boxes with ---names--- in their top border. A folder could also be a simple outline with its name in front of the file names.
Something like this
It looks stunning. Well done!
Another file explorer option is Files [0], that looks a lot more like the built in Explorer in Windows but with some additional features. [0] https://files.community/
Files looks great but it has performance issues and occasional crashes when I tried it out a few months ago. When going into subfolders, there is a very noticeable subsecond lag which I don’t get from native Explorer. For all complaints of lack of features that Windows File Explorer gets, it’s still a very respectable native GUI app for being Windows’ most used program!
Back when I used to torment myself with Windows, I used to use Zabkat Xplorer². https://www.zabkat.com/ It looks old skool now it did its job well.

It's not a file explorer so not exactly what you're looking for, but WizTree is good for finding out which folder contains the large files. It's like WinDirStat but much faster.

Sounds interesting, I use to use a tool that showed a drives or folders content by file size. Larger files being larger boxes. It definitely seems useful to have a view where folders are simply boxes with ---names--- in their top border. A folder could also be a simple outline with its name in front of the file names.

Could you share the name of the software it is/was, or perhaps a link?
It looks really great. Is there something similar for Linux?
