• 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

  If filenames are the issue, use https://antibody-software.com/wizfile/ WizFile (free for personal use) or https://www.voidtools.com/ Everything (free). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Organize / Visualize files as Graph or Table using their folder structure

  There is WizTree and WizFile, but for the ability to look something up specifically via WizFile then you'd have to add it to the file name, which isn't ideal. WizTree is rather useful though. Https://diskanalyzer.com/ Https://antibody-software.com/wizfile/. Source: over 1 year ago

  The developer of WizTree also makes WizFile for instant fast file search. https://antibody-software.com/wizfile/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
