XplorPlus1.8.6 / 1.9.5 Beta

XplorPlus is a complex piece of software, designed to provide a more efficient alternative to the standard Windows File Explorer.It is made up of numerous components that can be accessed whenever you need to perform certain tasks. These include a file explorer, image manager, thumbnail viewer and hex editor.While XplorPlus is clearly packed with features, it may prove difficult for first-time users to get to grips with them. The application's interface is rather outdated and not particularly intuitive, which sometimes makes finding certain functions a difficult task.

Dual-panel explorer interface

A common characteristic of file explorers is the fact that they allow you to navigate through multiple folders and view two sets of files at the same time, in a single program window.XplorPlus also displays a tree-like structure of all directories on your computer in a convenient side panel, allowing you to find particular folders quickly and view them in one of the active file lists.You can easily move files between locations, select documents with specific extensions, e-mail them as attachments or wipe them from your storage devices.

Comprehensive image management functions

The application includes a powerful image viewer and editor, enabling you to navigate through your photos, compare them and adjust various parameters. You can also batch convert images to other formats.XplorPlus can be used to perform a broad range of operations with images, such as creating contact sheets, web galleries and generating AVI files.

Offers powerful features, but may be confusing for first-time users

While the program aims to provide you with the ability to perform a broad range of operations, this may also work against it. While its complexity would not pose any problems if the application were more intuitive, this is not the case.Overall, XplorPlus is a comprehensive alternative to the Windows File Explorer and offers numerous image management functions. However, the application may not be well suited for novices as it features a rather steep learning curve.
