Paid full price for it and never felt satisfied. xplorer2 came with this feature first which I then requested of Don to implement this feature (thanks Don!). xplorer2 also have "scraps" which are basically the same as well. So basically XYplorer is my Opus has "Collections" which are the same functions as Papers in XYplorer. However, most of my customization I have done with shortcuts, catalogs, custom buttons, Papers for various uses, and more are in XYplorer. I love them both very much so I always switch between the two depending on the mood haha. It sounds weird but I actually use both Directoy Opus and XYplorer side-by-side daily. In terms of portability and other functions related to portability such as File Associations (Opus does support this) and File Icons, not as much compared to XYplorer but decent enough. Personally it's quite ahead for browsing images (though XYplorer is not too bad at all while xplorer2 is horrible horrible horrible). It functions really well too due to multi-threading support. So you can also make it look however you want it. In terms of interface customization, it's waaay above XYplorer. Functional just like xplorer2 but VERY FUN TO USE and LOOKS VERY GOOD.ĭirectory Opus: Also awesome. Basically you can take the file manager with your own pre-configured favorite apps and do your business on any computer. Portability is freaking awesome in XYplorer as you can even choose custom file associations that can work portably which is really neat for USB drive usages with your own tools. Very easy to use, looks good, portable, and responsive developer.

Is portable but does not come with any other portable features such as custom file associations.

The developer is stuck in his own world so it's really hard to convince him of anything and the software itself does not look good and also does not feel "right". I actually own xplorer2, XYplorer, and Directory Opus.

I haven't used, for example, my pre-XY favorite, "Bulk Rename Utility" for ages - it's very lonely.įor me, I like both a ton. Combined with the flexibility of his search dialogue to select the files you want to 's a great combination of features. And finally, the regex rename is absolutely rock solid, bug free, learn regexes, you'll use it daily, beautiful. Then there's a context menu with some common renaming tasks on it. Also a simple find/replace is sometimes handy and the quickest solution. Each has features the other doesn't - but I'd never switch, price irrelevant.Īnd renaming! The batch rename is very intelligently designed, easy and elegant. And as mentioned, XY's pricing and licensing is amazing Dopus, not so much - at least not in a good way. I'm amazed at the rapport Don has with his users, his development cycle, and the sheer usefulness of the features he consistently provides. I like its use of screen real estate and love its feature set. My two bits: I didn't find it any deeper in a useful way after my evaluation, and I didn't like the interface as much - I personally found XY to hide its complexity more gracefully while being immediately approachable.
