  • 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
