- When the treeview had focus, the file action buttons on the main toolbar (cut, copy, past, delete, etc) would be incorrectly disabled. Fixed.

[Anonymous] Rudy.It seems to work nice. But it is rather slow on network drives. [2009-04-23 23:47]

[Anonymous] RickThis is the first Explorer replacement I've used that feels like Explorer, improved. Most don't feel right. [2009-04-25 07:54]

[Anonymous] Wellington MirandaXLNT, but with flaws:
- CheckBox [Tools/Options/Files And Folders]"Hide file extensions" doesn't work;
- Copy (Ctrl-C) doesn't work (send things to Clipboard) in the Folders box.

[Anonymous] TechnomancerI think it's great. I use 'FreeCommander' as well because it has a dual pane and some other features, but Explorer++ is nice to use. [2009-08-17 14:24]

[Anonymous] MaxThis is simply fantastic. The best Explorer replacement I could find (and I've tried them all). There are still some things missing at this point, but they'll be added. [2009-09-26 14:29]

[Anonymous] me1.0 rc1 is not mentioned on the title page, but it is on the download page, and is accessible through the forum.

I have given up using several of what are known as "orthodox file managers" (including Directory Opus even though it wasn't free) because I just like this better.

[Anonymous] stwumIf you create the config.xml file yourself, your settings would NOT be saved by the program. There is an option to run the program in portable mode under Tools => Option => General.
Check the that option and the program would run in portable mode.

[Anonymous] GmacriIt will need a preview window in a next update.
The preview in the botton bar is not a good idea, it must be resized and rest many windows sapace, a botton resizable lateral window would be fine.

[Anonymous] FrankLooks great and mostly works very well. At this stage I cannot copy and paste emails directly from Exchange to any folders. Interestingly I can copy the mail to my desktop then to folders. [2009-11-25 02:22]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
