Scriptable, dual explorer, dual tree, tabs for both explorers. Many built-in features like showing folder sizes, generally a lot of settings, it’s one of those tools that comes with a search function for its settings.

Just a lot of tiny things as well, like tabs can be locker to a folder (either allowing changes and resetting, or not allowing changes), and also linked (so clicking a certain tab in one explorer always opens up one in the other). I probably use only 5% of its capabilities :D

Thanks a lot for elaborating. I installed Free Commander in the meantime, see if it's enough for my use.

For me specifically, the killer feature was dual explorer with dual tree. At least at the time, no others supported that.

Yeah, I dont think there's a dual tree in Free Commander... It's just the one tree for both panes. But there's a favourite list and that should cover most of my needs. Let's see. Cheers !
