  • What is a piece of software that you need but doesn't exist?
    Try QTTabbar. Adds a lot of features to windows explorer including tabs (disable tab bar if using with windows 11 with native tabs in explorer) After installation enable the toolbars from View -> Options (or use the enabler app on windows 11). Source: 5 months ago
  • Enabling a feature in File explorer
    False. It is not the only software, I use Qttabbar since Windows 7 and thanks to it I have tabs that I can customize, and they are more useful than the native tabs. Source: about 1 year ago
  • This is a joke? we have icons for Paint in dark theme, but we don't have any option to activate a dark theme in Paint? Really? 🤨 The icons for Paint in dark theme on the left and in light theme on the right, as they can be found in the Paint installation folder.
    About tabs, since Windows 7 I use tabs in the file explorer thanks to Qttabbar. Qttabbar tabs are customizable and more useful than native tabs. I had to use vivetool to permanently disable native tabs, and instead I use Qttabbar tabs. You can download tab skins within Qttabbar or you can create your own tabs. The tabs you have seen in the image were made by me based on Edge's new rounded tab design, as you can... Source: about 1 year ago

  • Any "Miller Columns" a.k.a "Cascading List" File Manager for Windows? (Screenshot)
    Have a look at onecommander at https://onecommander.com/ it has a nice and flexible column layout (at least in v2 that I am using). Maybe that's what you are looking for. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Replacement for QTTabBar?
    You might also check OneCommander it's a TotalCommader alternative but maybe it will fullfil your needs. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What useful software or programs do you install right away after building a Gaming PC?
    OneCommander is probably the best File Explorer alternative I've come across so far, I haven't done a deep dive on all the possible features, but it's in active development, and pretty in-depth already, so I think it might be worth taking a look at. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Honestly , windows 11 is great !
    One Commander as my default explorer, and use that miller column navigation,. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Files V2 looks more native to Windows 11 than the inbuilt File explorer.
    Now testing One Commander V3, which alleviates all the issues, plus now I am a fan of miller column and its navigation. Now I can see why Mac users like it. So far so good. Source: over 2 years ago
