Two tips while on Windows:
Dark Explorer should be in the coming Fall (2018) update, which should be out around the end of September/first of October (best guess). I just wish it had tabs already, but I usually use MultiCommander as a file manager just for that feature. F.Y.I. Right-click menus are dark as well.
Another feature I like on the latest Insider builds is the new Clipboard history feature, accessed via WIN key+V. You can keep multiple things in Clipboard now, which, in my case, makes script writing a lot easier.
Đilas naravno. Ma skup je XY, da je 10 dolara pa i da uzmem, trenutno sam na free trial verziji na kućnom računaru.
Preferiram i ja nešto što je besplatno. Preporučio je neko MultiCommander Free i portable. Samo mi se ovaj UI ne sviđa sa ovim shortcut-ovima dole, ali to može da se isključi.
Explorer++ je open source ali ružan UI.
Verovatno ću se prebaciti ako XY nije nagware.
You might be able to delete it after rebooting.
Also try installing http://multicommander.com/ That is a file explorer alternative that has the capability of killing whatever processes have a file locked. I use it for that purpose frequently.
Also try the handle.exe program from www.sysinternals.com. That will tell you what processes have a handle on the folder/file in question.
> and IrfanView when those files were images that needed to be batch-converted.
One of the many great things about IrfanView is that you can manage the image file you are seeing just by pressing F7/F8 (to move or copy the file to another location). It's so well designed and efficient that it amazes me that no other multimedia viewer/player has something like this.
Moreso, no media player at all has any file management capabilities, that I know of.
If you need a file manager with move/copy functionality that doesn't look straight from the 90s (and I love Total Commander but...) I'd recommend you Multi Commander. Just be warned that it doesn't support NTFS permissions while copying/moving files; not an usual requirement but needs to be pointed out.
I use multicommander that runs from a network share. As a side benefit, I've configured it to have shortcuts to all my commonly used tools and the default editor is a portable visual studio code.
Isn't it amazing that Total Commander hasn't been surpassed by any other file manager in decades? Its renaming and file finding capabilities are only matched by specific tools that only do that.
The only defect it has is the file copy/move management/UI/UX. It's so obsolete and lacking -and important in such a piece of software- that is a shame. You can find a better option in that matter in MultiCommander, but my understanding is that it doesn't support NTFS permissions while moving/copying.
Fan of FB2K in here too! :) But I like 1by1 too.
Adware ridden and unnecessarily non-portable. The author does crazy things from time to time. If you want a better and frequently updated alternative try jaBuT.
Also if you only want to copy/move/unzip/queue a lot of files try MultiCommander. Best of the best (much better than Total Commander) on this matter, very flexible; but it doesn't copy file permissions yet.
grab multicommander or some other free commander based file manager. It's free, pretty quick, scriptable, has tabs, and encourages you to keep your hands on the keyboard instead of using the mouse but you can make that transition at your own pace: it's got plenty of customizable UI sections (button bars, etc). It also has a bunch of other useful features like being able to save selections, bulk renamer, id3 tag view/edit, registry browser/editor, deleting files inside a zip, etc.
I honestly don't use tabs very often; what's more useful to me is having dual panes. I did welcome the addition in osx as well, however for the life of me I don't understand how tabs got prioritized over a feature that's been available in windows for as long as i can remember and is far more useful: Cut file (cmd-x) to move.
