Windows 10: Is Microsoft Ignoring One of the Top User Requests for Windows 10?

Same reason people like tabs with their web browser I would think.

 

I had been a long time Total)Windows) Commander user - but I got so used to File Explorer (when learning libraries because of our IT attitude) that I don't see a reson to go back. I am not a true power user anyway...

 

I guess the Topic was just about to include such Features in W10 itself... maybe somebody can raise a Suggestion at W10 so they might add it.... Should not that a big issue since the parts of code for it should be already there for their other products like IE and the new browser...
I would also be happy about such a nice feature inside of the Windows Explorer.

 

As far as the issue of opening windows side by side is concerned, it may not matter if you had 'tabbed' file explorer or not, you would still need to snap them side by side.
By default, just open File Explorer and snap it left, then wheel click another from the taskbar and snap it right. Done!

 

I'd love this too, but honestly, Clover is an amazing fix. It pretty much mimics chrome's tab feature in explorer exactly. Even adds a nice bookmarks bar.

 

Nothing beats Total Commander, with right addons you can do practically anything with file system, bought it yeeears ago, updated for free ever since and at still works.

 

Unfortunately, Clover is basically dead... the author hasn't updated it in about 2 years, and there are existing issues that need to be fixed.

 

Cant remember now which one but there was a program that could divide FE into more than 2 panes. I can't stand those Cut &Paste. so many unnecessary moves comparing to just dragging.

 

No joke! I'm surprised it still loads!

 

Microsoft has been ignoring Power Users for years nothing new. I hardly ever use Windows built in tools, I have bought everyone of these. Check out the following tools:
xyplorer XYplorer - A Windows File Manager and Explorer Replacement
Xplorer2 xplorer² Windows File Manager (Explorer replacement)
and the best one of the lot, worth every single penny......... get yourself multiple licences if you can afford it.
Directory Opus
Then again I do buy a fair amount of software to use on my PC's.

 

Thanks for the tips.. I need to look into those.

 

While both XYplorer and Xplorer2 are interesting for different reasons, Directory Opus is a huge pig on resources, and I find it totally unusable due to it's startup time and cluttered UI, in my opinion...

I have fond memories of using Directory Opus on my Amiga 20 years ago, but it's just painful and has been for a long time on the PC. But, of course, your mileage may vary.

 

The creators of 'QT Tab Bar', who had put the project on hiatus for a time, have resurrected it due to the many requests for tabbed Explorer in Windows 10.
Their new beta version works quite well in W10 and has lots of features including preview flyouts for folders; so, forget the Navigation Pane, the Preview Pane and the Details Pane and get your full window showing.













If you want to try it out, get the Beta version, 1.5.0.0 Beta 2, here:

Thanks @Edwin..

EDIT: No.. this rocks!! A must have.. IMO!!!

 

It's pretty nifty! I think it may be a hit.
You can even 'bookmark' the good ole MS-Search, (for those who despise Cortana! *Wink ), Recycle Bin, GodMode and others!
