XYplorer is a portable multi-tabbed dual pane file manager featuring a powerful file search, versatile preview facilities, a highly customizable interface, and an array of unique ways to efficiently automate frequently recurring tasks. XYplorer is a tool rather than a toy, and targets power users and computer professionals who are looking for an Explorer replacement that deserves its name.
Here are some key features of "XYplorer":
· Thumbnails of image files can be shown right in the details view, introducing the unique "Mouse Down Blow Up" functionality which allows you to popup an image in original size just by holding the mouse down on the thumbnail.· Preview of *.TGA (Targa), *.DNG, and *.NEF files.
· Instant Font Preview of installed and uninstalled TrueType and Type-1 font files (displaying detailed font information).
· Instant Preview of Office files (except in Vista/Win7), and of HTML, MHT, PHP files (including configurable server mappings) with printing option.
· Instant display of complete file/version Information for each selected file.
· Support of Icon Overlays (as for example used by TortoiseSVN, a Subversion client, implemented as a Windows shell extension).
· File Info Tips and MP3 Info Tips: extensive file information (depending on file type and individual file up to 35 fields!) pops up when you move the mouse over a file's icon.
· Special MP3 service: instant ID3v1.1-tag view and edit, plus automatic filename to ID3v1.1-tag routine.
· Sorting files... you are in full control. Easily choose what is sorted how and in which direction.

· Export extended file information of whole directories (or even directory trees) to CSV-formatted files.
· Autosize Columns: Optionally, file list column widths automatically adjust to their current contents.
· On-the-fly Font Sizing: Hold Ctrl and wheel your mouse to quickly change the application's font size to either see more information in the same space or go for more detail to relax your eyes. Check out a Video.
