XYplorer 24.20.0300 – multi-tabbed file manager
XYplorer is a multi-tabbed file manager for Windows, featuring a very powerful file search, versatile preview facilities, a highly customizable interface, and a large array of unique ways to efficiently automate frequently recurring tasks. It’s extremely fast and light, it’s innovative, and it’s fun!
XYplorer (formerly known as TrackerV3) is a hybrid file manager that combines features found in navigational and orthodox file managers.
Instead of dual folder panes, it features a file tree and a tabbed interface for folders that supports drag-and-drop between tabs.
A central feature is the hideable information panel at the bottom that you can use to view file properties and contents, generate reports, find files and preview files. Such as PNG, TIF, GIF, JPG, TGA, PSD, ICO; WAV, MP3, MPEG, AVI; TTF, PFB; HTML, EML, MSG, DOC, XLS, PDF, and many other formats.
The XYplorer search facility supports Boolean logic, Regular Expressions, whole word and fuzzy matching, binary string search, and multiple location search. The unique feature is the Catalog, which is a user created panel of links to files, folders, URLs, and similar entries. Another feature is Scripting, which allows user to create stored sets of commands, similar to a macro. Also the UDC (User Defined Commands), which allow user to create a limited set of customized commands.

Changes in XYplorer 24.20.0300 (2023-03-18):
- Minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Changes in XYplorer 24.20.0000 (2023-02-28):
- Image Columns. So far a data record in a file listing consisted of an icon, maybe a thumbnail, and various bits of text. The signature look of a details view in a file manager. Those days are over. Now you can add images to the mix. And not just one per file, but many: Up to 80 different pics per file, all in one list!These images can be arbitrarily assigned to a file (and recorded in a database), or based on rules (e.g. based on the file name or other file properties). Typical use cases would be showing wave forms for sounds, or album covers for songs, or different states or angles of people or designs.And that’s just the beginning. Since columns can be scripted, the possibilities are endless. A column could even create the image it’s about to show.By the way, if you move your mouse over these images, you’ll optionally get an enlarged view, the so-called Hover Box. Absolutely massive new feature. Ground-breaking.
- SketchUp Preview. Now previews and thumbnails are supported for SketchUp Pro (3D CAD software) *.skp and *.layout files.
- Many Other Improvements. See change log.
Changes in XYplorer 24.10.0000 (2023-02-16):
- Empty Cell Defaults. If you suffer from fear of the void you will be glad that this version offers easy ways to fill the void. The marking of the different types of emptiness can actually serve a better overview.
- Fake Right-Drag-and-Drop. Now you can fake a right-drag-and-drop by holding down CTRL and SHIFT while doing a left-drag-and-drop. That way you can have the drag-and-drop context menu on left-drag-and-drop, which is pretty cool in limited hardware and software contexts.
- Many Other Improvements.
Changes in XYplorer 24.00.0700 (2023-02-08):
- Minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Changes in XYplorer 24.00.0000 (2023-01-23):
- Virtual Folders. Virtual Folders are folders where you define the content directly in the folder name. You can directly “create” such a folder by typing it into the Address Bar. Nothing is created on disk, it’s all in the name. And it’s super fast because almost no file system browsing is involved. A revolutionary new concept that adds a number of interesting possibilities to your file management.
- Drop Menu on Hover. Now the menus optionally auto-drop on hovering a component separator. No more clicking. Smooth and comfortable.
- Many Other Improvements. See change log.
Changes in XYplorer 23.90.0000 (2022-12-20):
- Native Context Menu. Now you can replace the normally slow shell context menu with a blazing fast native one.
- AIFF Audio Properties. Now AIFF files (Audio Interchange File Format: *.aif, *.aiff, *.aifc) are supported natively, i.e. you get Length, Sample Rate, Bit Depth, Bit Rate and Channels, each in its own column.
- Media Length Custom Format. The context menu of the Length column header now offers the toggles “Show Hours” and “Show Milliseconds”. Lets you format the length display the way you like it.
- Many Other Improvements.
