Lutz_:
Yes, Expicula seems to be pretty straightforward, intuitive and quick.
Thanks for the reminder!

 Users speaking German might also want to try Expicula which looks promising indeed.  :)

De nada.  8)
Just stumbled upon it and thought it could be a valid alternative.

Curt:
The most important features I get from (overlapping and eyecandy included):

QT Tabbar, CFi ShellToys, Xentient Thumbnails, WireKeys, PS Hot Folders, Send To Toys, MediaInfo, Punk ÜberIcon, BAxBEx for IrfanView, and DM2.

Because of Quizo QT Tabbar I never got to realize that CFi Shell Toys includes a magnificent, tabbed, full Explorer "replacement"!

I have a license for several file managers, but the one I keep actually using besides Explorer is Q-Dir (the Unicode version). Now at version 4.28

Steady as a rock, and with this oh so useful "Quadruped-View" window ;-)

For awhile I kept trying this one.  Looks like the author tries to perfect it. But it seems like every time I try to do something while something else is happening, the window goes white and it stop responding(well, not "every time" but a high enough percentage that I gave up on it.)

I like the idea of it.  Just seems like the threading is too fragile.

edit: this may be exacerbated by large files.  I tend to move around multi-GB files. If all the drag & drop are trivial files then it handles it. It just seems like once you put a load on it by having a long file copy in the background, it can't deal with it unless you just leave it sit 'til completion.
