BetterFileBrowser

Last edit July 26, 2013
Can anybody recommend a better file browser for Windows? Windows Explorer is annoying, and I'd like some customizing. Possible features:

  • Separation of folders from content in the main panel: 3 total panels instead of 2, one vertical and two horizontal (at least for default layout).
  • Scripting control in a "familiar-acting" language, like C, JavaScript, or heck even BASIC?
  • Folder-specific settings (MS's seems to randomly forget them every gibbous moon or something)
  • Tree inheritance of above folder settings
  • Custom tool-bar buttons and short-cut key mapping (map to both built-in options and scripts)
  • Knows how to "read" and use the Windows association lists
  • Non-stupid text and content searching/filtering (MS not friendly to non MS products)
  • Works on Linux also
