Why do I even publish software one year in advance if people don't test it before it's too late? 

Not renaming the .exe would require to write one function per platform, as C++ does not have a cross-platform way to find the "current .exe path" as far as I know. 
Coming closer with version 1.2.0... (attaching above.)

I hate everything.
Will look at it... after having updated remv which will happen, uhm, maybe today.

Granted, the ".\.\" part looks inconvenient, but good enough. 
I'll look into it on Wednesday again. Checking in, updating the RAR and leaving you alone for today/tomorrow.

To come back to 3.: I use the standard C++ regex header. Technically, $0 is supposed to work. 

1. is fixed (I removed the reference). 
2. Head -> wall.
4. is actually already in, just skip the -r flag and remv will gladly ignore directories.
5. is fixed as well (new flag "-E").

1. Yes, thank you.
2.  I'll check that.
3. If you use invalid variables, that's not my fault. 
4. The possibility to include relative folder paths (to move whole structures) is actually a feature. How would you do that?
5. File extensions are technically not a separate part of a file name. Handling files with multiple endings (.tar.gz) could be tricky...

Note that I'll have to fix the Decision Sieve first anyway, so take the above comments as temporary ideas.

I have just noticed that the "supported OS" field said that you'll need a C++ compiler. Oh man... 
Fixed.

Hmm, the general idea of a sieve is that some things will be removed from what is fed into it. Is there a use case for restoring everything?

The only reason I could imagine is that you are unhappy with the results, but then, why did you use it anyway?

I had three projects in my pipeline, but I struggle with all three programming languages, currently.
I'll leave them for NANY 2020.

it enables one to label files with different colors and statuses, and to sort and organize the files accordingly.

Even xplorer² does that.

I stopped keeping more than two third-party file managers on my systems. Currently, I have x² and Total Commander at work, One Commander* and Total Commander at home. (I finally got away from SpeedCommander, right in time before the next paid update...) I use a file manager to manage files. Do one thing and do it well. A thing that can manage files just as well as what I already have does not have any additional value to me anymore. It must be very convincing.
