UltraExplorer 1.4.4 released 10/7/07
http://ultraexplorer.mustangpeak.net/
UltraExplorer - configurable file manager
UltraExplorer 2 RC3 (Portable)
As of this version UltraExplorer is really portable. The version 1.4.4 linked in the database here is not. The final version of UltraExplorer 2 is going to be released within the next days if the release candidate proofs stable.
The RC3 is only available via the UltraExplorer Beta Discussions forum on mustangpeak.net (in this thread).
I just stumbled upon the beta version per chance (well, ver 1 had some quirks and I tried to pin them down). So far ver 2 is a lot more reliable and I think UE is a worth a try if one is looking for a highly customizable explorer replacement that also should work off a stick.

Version 2.0.0
- Each Listview now has its own Tabset
Faster switching between tabs
Timer delay before filtering while typing a mask
User definable "x" close buttons on, no tabs, active tab, all tabs
Improved keyboard handling on the Columns View
Columns View is now a stand alone view style for a tab this allows much better integration into UE
Columns View now works with filters, quick filters, action buttons, etc.
User defined options for the Listview now work with the Columns View as well
Columns View now uses a delay time to allow faster navigation in slow folders
Any View (Flatten Folder, Search, etc) now works as the normal Listview including
QuickFilter,
Filter,
Views,
Clipboard Operations (Copy/Cut)
File Viewer,
etc
Added a "Common Listview" options tab in the Options dialog. Hopefully this will end the confusion on how to make the user's favorite view type more obvious to the user.
Layout Manager to save and restore layouts of windows/toolbars/etc
Numerous stability issue fixes
User definable default column widths for the Listview
New Listview Common Options tab to easily find common listview options

Fixed problem with Win-E hook opening an Explorer window plus an UltraExplorer Window
Fixed problem with crashing when removing Tabs
Fixed problem with setting focus back to tabset if the only Tab was a Flatten Folder or Search Tab
Fixed spelling of Donate...
Fixed problem with WM_DDEUltraExplorer and the context menus.
Removed ability to hide the main menu. It can cause all kinds of confusion getting it back

Fixed problem with Launcher and *FilePathList*
Added Slovak translation thanks to Sepp Winkler

Fixed problem with shortcuts. Allowed changing of Listview Select All, Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete shortcuts but they did not work and/or the standard shortcuts still executed the action causing problems. Changing these shortcuts will affect the Listview ONLY

Ultra Explorer 2.0.1.0
UltraExplorer V1.5.0 as listed in the database here is quite outdated (as well as this version was not really portable).
The current Version is available at http://mustangpeak.net (under "Download" or the first news entry on the homepage). It has become much more stable and after a long break the development is now pretty fast paced again.
If you like betas, you can also try 2.0.2.0 here: http://www.mustangpeak.net/phpBB2/viewt ... =13&t=2066
Please note: The setup and the portable (exe) versions are really different. Only the portable version checks for the config files in the UE folder. (Just in case anyone would try

Re: UltraExplorer 2.0.3.1
I've just lost my 2.0.2.0 config file 
when I launched version 2.0.3.1.
It said my old config file is corrupt and a new config file is created.
Not pleasant at all.

Re: UltraExplorer V2.0.3.1
Is there a way to make ultra explorer the default explorer ?
UltraExplorer V2.0.3.1
Enable the "Win-E hook" shell extension (Tools -> Shell Extensions -> Win-E Hook). This way, when you press Window-E, UltraExplorer will open instead of WindowsExplorer.Dwel wrote:Is there a way to make ultra explorer the default explorer ?

Sorry for that ... I'm getting old old 
Did they have the portable version already?

Re: UltraExplorer V2.0.3.1
No problem at all!
I was amused by the fact that you were the one that posted the same update in that topic.
On the other hand if one searches for "ultra" for example, that topic does not show up. Strange.
P.S.: Yes, they did.
Later edit: 'just realized one should search for "ultraexplorer" and not only "ultra" for that topic to show up. Is this the behavior intended for the search function of the forum?
