Fadmin Free3.0.5.782

File management is not a difficult operation, at least not when having to perform simple tasks like moving them from one location to the other. However, the default editor in this regard is only fitted with one navigation pane, but you can always rely on Fadmin Free for tab support, and a large variety of advanced functions.

Advantages of a portable app

First of all, the application skips you the whole effort of going through a setup process, giving you the flexibility you need to use it on other computers besides your own directly from a thumb drive. Moreover, portability means that the target PC’s registry system remains intact, without having any impact on stability.As far as the visual design is concerned, you might have a hard time getting around the crowded space, and rather ambiguous structure of panels, icons, and other functions you get to work with. On the other hand, navigation is enhanced by tab support, allowing you to keep multiple pairs of explorer windows active, but also some other tools.

Good, but far from being a pro

Probably the biggest disappointment comes from the missing system context menu assigned to the right mouse button. Sure enough, it can be accessed from the file menu, but you need to make sure the window, file, or folder of interest are active. An alternative is to learn all associated hotkeys to move faster, and better through menu, and trigger functions more efficiently.The application also allows you to go online in its own web browser. You might not stick to it though, because of the lack of support for modern content. There are several other built-in editors, for text, and a process viewer. What’s more, you can configure your own external viewers and editors for a greater deal of comfort.

To sum it up

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Fadmin Free comes with good intentions, and a pretty impressive array of functions to help you with any kind of file management operations you might need. The only downside to the entire experience is the visual design and structure, which might take too much time to get you up and running.
