File Explorer on Windows 7, and Windows 7 in general, provided a far better (and faster) user experience. It's been downhill since then.

Yes, there's a command called "Empty Trash Items", which you can assign to any hotkey or access via the command palette. You can also right click on the trash in the left sidebar.

Sorry, I based this on your comment "If you can accept a Rust dependency". I haven't actually looked into it yet, but I'll check it out, thanks for sharing. However, I'd still prefer to go with my own solution, if p

I'll check it out, thanks!

Hello! I can't promise anything on this topic yet, it's on my list, but it's fairly low priority right now. The program was written in C with no dependencies, so introducing a huge dependency like that isn't an option. B

Speed, modern UI, rearangable panels & tabs, globaly accesable and remmapable all actions via cmd palette, GoTo window, batch rename... And many more things to come. Since this was built from scratch, a lot of time and enginering effort

Way more maintainable than anything from MS that I'd have to deal with.

Yes, the separation between folders and files is a toggleable option. You can sort by date modified. Also, you should try it yourself, it's in free beta. :)

Hey, thanks! Yes, I know about Fman. I’ve tried pretty much all file explorers on Windows, a fair number on Linux, and fewer on macOS. I watched that video a couple of years ago, it had some nice insights. Thanks for sharing that. I've

It does not integrate with Everything. It's already blazingly fast with the regular WinAPI for indexing. However, MFT indexing (which Everything uses) will be added as built-in support in the near future. It will be an opt-in option fo

Are you running it inside a VM or Wine?

It will come to other OSes in time. The Windows platform layer is decoupled from everything else, such as rendering and UI, so I only need to write platform-specific code for other OSes.

FP has been mostly tested and improved for mapped network drives, as the focus has been, and still is, on providing a very solid local experience. Direct network access (and better integration with NAS) will be added in the near future.

PDF previews are not supported yet, but they are planned.

If everything goes well with Windows and the project becomes financially stable, a macOS version is planned.

It's an open possibility :)

Unfortunately, I only support Latin and Cyrillic for now. But full unicode support will come in the future.

That's FP waiting for Windows. When it takes longer, it's usually a third-party plugin initializing. I have some things to try to mitigate these issues, but unfortunately, this whole architecture is broken. MS should not have allo

It was written from scratch with a custom OpenGL renderer (a DirectX port is in progress for Windows) and a custom IMGUI layer on top.

Thanks for trying it out! I was a long-time TC user too. 1) Those are not assigned by default, but all hotkeys in FP are reassignable, so you can create a setup very similar to TC. 2) This is a planned feature. 3) Not currently on the road

I started this few years ago as a hobby project. Inspired by Handmade Hero series hosted by Casey Muratori, I wanted to use gained knowledge on something concrete. Starting 2022, I committed myself to the project full time. Design goals and
