Wow that TortoiseSVN in context menu is a blast from the past! Looks like it's still under active development. Is SVN still being used in some industries? I know it used to be big in gamedev but I would have expected everyone to have moved on by now.
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
> I just hope Microsoft can do something like that with current Explorer app They can start by making explorer startup in less than 5 seconds. Let's face it, Microsoft devs don't care about performance and probably never will.
Fpilot is a great example of how it's possible to make something MUCH faster by limiting the feature set.
(also some of the NTFS APIs are horribly slow for extended information)
I was looking for this one feature listing: fast file deletes, guess that’s just how windows rolls
Well, maybe you could, just as "Everything" file search achieves speed by bypassing the API entirely, but I think an application that wrote raw NTFS block writes would be rather high risk for most people to use.
Nice work, really snappy, love the "speed at the your fingertips" approach. I absolutly am willing to shell out some EUR for such life-altering tools. I have been entrenched in the https://www.ghisler.com/ camp for 20+ years for three main reasons: 1. function keys for copy/move etc. like in mc, norton etc. 2. navigate (even larger) archive files in every format under the sun as if it were an extension of the file sy…
I was a long-time TC user too.
1) Those are not assigned by default, but all hotkeys in FP are reassignable, so you can create a setup very similar to TC.
2) This is a planned feature.
3) Not currently on the roadmap, but it's a possibility.
Wow, after so many useless bloated Electron based applications over the years, this is like a breath of fresh air. This is so fast, lightweight, portable, and uses only 17 MB of memory with XL icons of over 10k photos. Very impressive. If only more developers would quit their laziness and make such software again.
What GUI framework did they use for this?
If there's a portable version of this I can run on my work computer, I will! (stand-alone version, it's so fast!) The Windows built-in File Explorer is godawfully slow. Like, slower than I remember it being in the late 90's. Motivation-sappingly slow. But I think it's because my work computer has it's inescapable synchronisation to OneDrive, and so every folder and every file it has to scan for a thumbnail or whateve…
Also company computer: Built-in file explorer sometimes takes 3 seconds to display a thumbnail for a 10KB png I saved to a folder from my editor. I just don't get it. We also have OneDrive. Don't shoot the messenger alright but it really makes me want to punch the monitor.
This is SO much better than Windows explorer! And I'm more than happy to pay for it. The only issue I have noticed is that the context menu takes a while to open, and it is made worse because of the opening and closing animation. It keeps bugging me because I feel like the context menu of Windows explorer is a bit snappier than this. I might be wrong but that's what it feels like.
I have some things to try to mitigate these issues, but unfortunately, this whole architecture is broken. MS should not have allowed extensions to take over.
Looks pretty good but all CJK characters are displayed as questionmarks (???) and switching to a CJK native font does no help. So my user folder is now crowded with ???????? which makes it hard to navigate :(
You might as well sell this to Microsoft—they'd pay well, and more people would get to benefit from your great work! It really makes you wonder what kind of bloat is slowing down Explorer and whether it's lurking elsewhere too.
Please, I beg you dear developer, replace my stupid MacOS finder with your superpowers!
