• Looking for lightweight Windows Image Viewer that retains fuctionality even with folders that are past character limit

  Date, e. g. Paris_080517 for May 17th 2008 in Travels. Any general search tool like Locate32 can then instantly find all the Paris. Source: about 1 year ago

• Data Management Software Solutions?

  On my computer I've used Locate32 for years now. Not the youngest but works perfectly. Once the files are indexed it can find them even on disconnected drives and has lots of filtering options (which I generally don't even need). Source: over 1 year ago

• Making a snapshot of folder structure and files without copying

  People here think highly of Everything, and I presume it can do that, but I use Locate32 which satisfies all my needs. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Xtreme Download Manager: No file found after downloaded

  I that doesn't work, use something like Everything or Locate to index your files and search for the tar.gz extension. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Share your greatest free tools

  Locate32 : The windows version of updatedb and locate commands from linux. I've never needed the contents indexed, just the name. Source: about 2 years ago

You will find out that you will prefer jumping to navigation when you're familiar with the concept. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?

  There are great alternatives. I used Python and Qt to create my file manager [1]. It's a tool that needs to start quickly so Electron was not an option [2]. I open sourced my build system for creating cross-platform desktop apps with it in minutes at https://build-system.fman.io/. 1: https://fman.io 2: https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-in-2016/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Explorer: Move selected files into a new folder (like on MacOS)

  And for the record, I think over the years I learned to like Finder... I guess I like the sheer simplicity (I use fman) and started to love it back in OS 9 and those lovable purple hues :P. Source: about 2 years ago

• Non-Commercial Licenses Are Non-Free Licenses

  Fman by Matthew Herrmann https://fman.io From what I've gathered, success has been mixed. Duplicacy seems to be doing well based on forum activity and release history. Fman never made much money. If I recall correctly the Fman author was turned off by the number of people who criticized it for being fully open-source and wished he'd stuck with a closed-source full commercial model.
