jadinolf:
Home edition looks fine to me.

Thanks again.

I had bought recently with BitsDuJour help and been trying to use only this for couple of days and I must say: it takes me back to Total Commander more and more each day.

One of the reason, obviously, is the fact of being long time TC user (10 years?), second is - lack of features I need like:

* custom columns - XY has 12, Windows Explorer 41, TC hundreds; I can switch between saved list view configurations any way I like,
* previews and thumbnails for lot more filetypes than standard explorer can handle; I admit TC has WLX plugins (MultiLister is the best here) but it can also call XnView or IrfanView via WM messages to get data from them,
* no freezes on large directories - if directory contains dozen of executables XY freezes (I have antivirus exclusions for it already), if there are non-standard (i.e. PDFs) thumbs… freezes again; can't it load thumbs/icons in background and cache them?
* TC can browse inside archives while XY calls WinRAR; couldn't it support ZIP and RAR at least?
* and if I click on thumbnail it would be nice to have it selected, not only the file name which gets unseen between dozen of thumbs.OK, enough complaining for today ;)

Something in plus: mini tree view is just awesome and it would be even better to have it implemented with list properties like these:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14741/Advanced-TreeView-for-NET
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/93/A-TreeList-Control

Another idea: more Excel-like features for files list and you have a winner.

If XY is not super-fast something is wrong. Maybe you forgot MSE? You're not the only one, see this:

Ugh, your advice is to add MSE exclusions? O_o

For what it's worth, MSE doesn't seem to bog down xyplorer here, win7-x64-SP1 with MSE 4.0.1526.0 - it starts very snappily indeed. Only tested the trial xyplorer_full_noinstall.zip. Doesn't look like there's any stupid exe compression or other stuff that would slow down MSE, so sounds a bit weird.

Most users indeed never have a speed problem to begin with, but I have a couple of users where the "MSE trick" definitely helped dramatically. There must be some unknown factor... weird.
