![]() ![]() Among its many new features you’ll find the split-screen sync ability is much improved over XTree.įor those not familiar with XTree, this is a console-mode program, so it’s not GUI, and at first may appear to be very DOS-like. This is not only a perfect successor to XTreeGold, but in my opinion the most powerful file manager available for Windows. #POWERDESK PRO 9 REVIEW UPDATE#Does anyone have experience of an update version of something akin to Xtree that gave a simple clear visual comparison of of 2 directories in a split screen, and could easily sync the two? Many thanksįor something akin to XTreeGold, I concur with dg1261. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I couldn’t find it. None of them come close to the capabilities of FreeCommander XE. I have tried Explorer++, QDir, Total Commander, Xplorer2, Double Commander, Multi Commander and Explorer Plus. I can configure which program to use for file comparison (I use WinMerge) and it can be used to compare 2 highlighted files in each pane using the toolbar icon and is also available from the context menu in the folder sync function after comparing 2 folders. I can configure FreeCommander to use different editors to display different file types (.txt. Also, I configure the program to display executables in a different color than data files. You will notice in the screen capture above that I have set different colors for the Tree Display and the File display. Please use it for a while and try as many as possible. This is a program with many options as I mentioned earlier. Notice that the icons for KeePass.exe and KeePass.ico are extracted from across the network. I have mine configured to use extracted icons for network access as seen in the screenshot below (this is the same version 650 that you tested). On point #2 – The icon display is configurable in the options. A 50 MB transfer as described takes about 1 second on my system. I have never seen the message during a 1k file transfer from a local drive in one pane to a network drive in the other pane. On point #1 – I have also seen the “(not responding)” message in the title bar, but for me the cause was a delay in the network, not a problem with FreeCommander XE. This may be minor but was a little disconcerting. ![]() I also found that it would only show remote executables with a generic icon, not the program’s icon itself. one on another network attached PC) in the other pane, taking almost a minute to do a simple move of a single file less than 1k in size between the two. Unfortunately my (admittedly very short) experience with it was that it hung frequently with ‘Not responding’ showing in the title bar when used with a local folder in one pane and a remote folder (i.e. #POWERDESK PRO 9 REVIEW PORTABLE#I downloaded the portable version of FreeCommander XE (v2014.1.0.650) and played with it for a while. I am sure it will fit your needs.īTW: I am a beta tester and I primarily use the 64-bit version which has not been released to the public as yet. Try it for a week and play with all the options and toolbar configurations. There are a lot of options in FreeCommander XE that allow you to configure it to most any personal preference. It works great across the network to sync multiple computers or a Network Attached Storage device. I can highlight a folder in each tree (pane) and use the compare folder function with one click. #POWERDESK PRO 9 REVIEW FREE#It also has a great folder sync function which is almost as good as Free File Sync (Sourceforge). ![]() I use it every day in side-by-side dual pane configuration, using a tree display per panel. I have to strongly disagree about the “number 1 pick” FreeCommander XE. (The number 1 pick didn’t offer dual panes.) I haven’t used it personally but it came second in a review of the 5 top free file managers where you can read the pros and cons. It’s free and has a dual pane interface (and more). ![]()
