you can completely replace the windows explorer

these are some pictures from mine

here you can use cut copy paste delete

even undo if you mistake any action

copy name, copy path

show properties, show hidden files , show system files, show extensions

create new folder and so many see and imagine

to be easy to reach any where in your PC
you can create tabs for every please and make these Tabs fixed (even you close the program)

you can create tab for most commonly used shortcuts
and so even you can replace the start menu which needs multiple clicks in windows 7

try and thank or discourage

Question: is it possible to have each tab as a separate thread, so it doesn't restart a search when you tab out and reselect a search result tab? You can only maintain search results when the explorer window is separate :(.

Maybe its possible?

Thanks again

Additionally i tried to install fences after removing em all and no problems. but as soon as i install qttabbar the problem comes back

anybody got a solution ?

I ran QTTabBar.exe then logged off and logged on to the system. But the View toolbars menu does not show QT TabBar.

Any insights into the issue?

Thanks

In my earlier installation, if I had an explorer window open and then opened a new explorer window, it would open as a new tab in the existing window. Now what happens is that if I have an explorer window open and then open a new explorer window, it opens as a new window. I have to manually merge the open explorer windows by right clicking on the QtTabBar window and selecting "Merge tabs of other windows".

How do I get the new explorer window to open as a new tab in the existing explorer window by default?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks much — I cannot do without this program.

P.S. I agree with others on this forum that making it open source would be great.

after playing around a little time - here's an idea to have qt working under windows 7. i have build 7100 with qt 1.2.2.1 running.
what i do is: open explorer, and first of all uncheck qttabbar at the menu bar and enable it again.
it works only in that window, so every new explorer window goes like that, but which is not essentially necessary with qt :-)
i wonder why nobody seems to have figured this out.
well:

- qt does not save this setting and the arrangement and
- folder preview is not available (which was great)

but if any of the geeks could make qt disable/enable itself each time explorer starts it could be an approach to fix it in win 7 and there would be more time to waste on other 7-related shit (which remains sufficiently).
can you imagine longing for vista again, haha!? i do…because there's no suitable alternative to qt.
any experiences?

Instead of the contents shown when you hover on the arrow down button of a folder, can you please add another feature like copy, paste, and send, etc like when you right-click on a file so we don't have to right-click to see the tips.

Hovering should replace right-clicking. This is faster and more efficient.

it'll be nice to use that arrow down on other files and not only the folders. it'll be a good new feature.

So the hover arrow button on folders should include open (instead of double-clicking), cut, copy, paste, send to, delete, rename and the contents of the folder can still be shown in a click-able button like an arrow to show folder contents.

And for files: run, cut, copy, play (for media files), view (for pictures), delete, rename, send to, and if possible the file's properties is also shown when you click on it on something like "properties" and it drops down.

Hope this suggestion included on the next release and I can't wait!

This could help many people!

The core features I think are..

- It's an explorer addon
- Tabs and saved tab groups with mousewheel navigation
- Ability to see all subfolders and files without going inside the volume/folder (one click auto expanding and closing drilldown menus)
- Capturing all new window open requests into one window as tabs e.g. control panel, networking folder to prevent cluttering the windows taskbar and to speed navigation.
- Filter current view with text input.
