WizTree v4.19 Updated

Special on 5 Mar 2024
  • 13MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 5 Mar 2024
  • Suggested by I am Baas

WizTree is a very fast disk space analyzer and search tool, scanning a single folder or your entire hard drive quickly and showing those files and folders using the most disk space. The program uses the NTFS Master File Table (MFT) feature in Windows to rapidly view files.

Note that this high-speed mode is limited to local, NTFS-formatted drives. The program must do a (much slower) scan of FAT-formatted or network drives for analysis.

Just downloaded the latest portable version, and it asks for admin permission. That is a no no for me.
Looking at the manifest it says: AsInvoker, so i'm not sure why it would ask.

I don't know if this is the case in Windows 11, but in Windows 10 the new "Windows 11 style" UI seems noticeably laggier.

Noticed the same thing here, I reverted back personally, and frankly this "change" is enough to keep me from updating to future versions. The dev is very good about these things though, so maybe he'll revert these changes back if he knew there were issues, he's somewhat active (I think) on these here forums.

If it ain't broke...

MultiCommander has a bug in log into other directories. I could not log into directories reliably. =( Check the directories you enter with MC!

Version 10 no longer supports Windows XP

Multi Commander unfortunately isn't stealth > creates MultiCommander-key in HKCU\Software. Could be triggered by some settings. Deleting apparently doesn't affect settings/functionality, but the key reappears on every start.

You need to run either the .cmd file e.g. Viewer.cmd or launch the .exe file (in the bin folder) with the /portable parameter.

Too Long Paths Detector v1.2

webfork on 16 Oct 2012
  • 268KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Wolfghost

Too Long Paths Detector (TLPD) is designed to tackle the 'path name too long' issue for path length limits of 255 characters. As Windows can't handle files and folders beyond that length, the program scans the directory tree, looking for files and folders with full path name longer than a specified threshold, and then alerts the user. For administrators, TLPD can also work in silent mode, with the results stored in a log file. No limitations on file system types.

Functional in 64-bit.

Category:
Runs on:Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7
Writes settings to: None
Stealth: ? Yes
License: GPL
How to extract: Download TLPD.exe and ReadMe to a folder of your choice and launch.

While guinness's command line application may be faster & better, it is still command line and so this is the version acceptable for the database.

CubicExplorer v0.95.1

webfork on 17 Feb 2017
  • 8MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 31 Jan 2014
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

CubicExplorer is a customizable Explorer replacement that supports bookmarks, themes, and multiple tabs. "Sessions" can be set with various customizations set to a particular setting (e.g. a picture folder set to thumbnails, a logs folder set to "details" and a program folder with desktop-like icons), and multiple sessions can be set for different folder sets based on tasks such as work, home, play, etc.

Unlike similar programs, CubicExplorer is built for ease-of-use and ability to adapt to your environment rather than a broad feature set, but includes some advanced features such as filtering, file preview, search, a built-in text editor with syntax highlighting support, and more. Multiple instances of the program can be run simultaneously.

Note: main site offline; linking to archive.org. Alternatively, CubicExplorer Portable adjusts paths in settings, bookmarks and sessions.

Languages: 26, including Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and French

Runs on:Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7

Unicode support: Yes

How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch CubicExplorer.exe.

Outstanding file manager for when you constantly work with a set list of folders. The tabbed interface, bookmarks, and ability to save sessions makes navigating folders easy and simple. I would have great difficulty on Vista/Win7 without it.

rodger123 on 2012-10-15 05:34

Portable version on authors site does not write to the registry at all-I like the stack feature as I can drag files there and then drag them to a folder on my external drive,a little buggy but very useful-could not live without it!

hamasaki on 2014-06-22 13:45

Very nice file manager. Really nice interface. A little buggy at times, but overall very good. I like the fact you can build your own tree via categories in the left menu, rather than the default c drive tree view others have. Means I can have only relevant folders showing.
