[REQUEST] Dual/Multi pane explorer - Explore multiple locations in one window

I have tried many "Explorer replacements".
None of them match the ease of QTTabBar.
They all lack Quizo's excellent features like sub-folder tips and tab exploring.

However, Quizo is missing one important feature: A MULTI/DUAL PANE EXPLORER.
This means that you can see two (or more) locations, within one window.

If Quizo can add this feature, as a seperate program or part of existing program…
He can destroy the competition!
His program will be the most complete Explorer add-on ever!

Here are some examples:

There is one existing program that integrates this feature into Windows Explorer.
It is called "FolderBox": http://www.baxbex.com/products.html

However, it does not adopt QTTABBAR features.
It just adds an extra general pane into Windows Explorer.

If Quizo tried, he could create multi-pane view where BOTH panes adopt QT settings.

Competition? What competition? Quizo has no competition! BTW, Baxbex applications are extremely buggy and crash prone. I strongly suggest avoiding them.

Besides, I don't know why you want that feature…the features that Quizo has recently implemented let you move files around in a similar way without the need for extra panes.

You do know that you can drag items onto other tabs/tab icons to access other directories, right? ;)

I am the original topic-starter.

I agree that "Baxbex" programs are crap.
But it's the only program out there. That's why I'm forced to use it.
Which is why I hope Quizo can create one that is better.

As to the issue of why extra panes are needed…

1) Dragging and dropping.
With an extra pane, it's much easier to drag and drop files.
With a tab, you can't see the result of your move. You have to go to the folder & make sure everything is in place.
Whereas with a pane, you can see the result instantly.

2) Comparison of contents.
With an exrea pane, it's much easier to compare files in detail.
With a tab, you can only see the file name. You have to open an extra window to see the details.
Whereas with a pane, you can compare files from different folders with their details showing.

As much as I love Qttabbar, I have to say that XYplorer and xplorer2 are also both excellent (albeit shareware) programs….

jdhas, I have tried those programs.
They don't have most of Qttabbar's file-handling features…
Such as sub-folder tip.
Such as name-copying.

That is the problem out there.
Some programs have some features.
Other programs have other features.
None of them combine EVERYTHING.

That's why I hope Quizzo adds a dual-pane explorer.
Then he would have EVERYTHING.

I just wish multi pane functionality as Q-Dir. You can use Q-dir and you will love it. but QTtab give me a more friendly feeling for a Windows File Manager. Thanks.
