Yes, I had some crashes the first day, but they left for good when I changed the settings. You may have to look into the Options and try your way around, because Ultra is not that clever and will not tell you if you have made a bad setting.

I'm testing TC right now.
I think this is THE hardcore file manager.

steeladept: i had the same problems with mtExplorer and also that it wouldn't "remember" the last used folders. i e-mailed the author but hadn't received any replies.. do let me know if you had better luck..

after i reading this thread, i tried it once again and just noticed that at times it can remember but only 4 of the 6 panes but places it randomly.. so i guess one must be lucky with this program..

I ... was forced to look for a temporary replacement for Explorer, ...

- not too precise formulated. I could have used Power Desk 6 Pro, or Aron's Explorer, because I have both of them installed. Whats that; never heard of Aron's Explorer? I can't blame you; I found it by accident. I don't think the program is a joke, but the price certainly can be taken for such: $30

You might think that $30 is a quite normal price for certain types of programs, and maybe the author of Aron had the same thought. Never the less, I bought the program for $3 (THREE dollar) at Bits du Jour and is happy with it - I realize I would never have looked at it, at $30.

Aron's Explorer is what some people refer to as a minimalistic program, made for half blind IT-analphabetics - and maybe that is just why I like it; back to basics! I use it because one can add favorite folders, so I have it to show all of the start menu for both user and all users - one folder per tab. Not even mtExplorer can show that many folders.

There is no trial, only 30 days money back, so only a few will ever install this program.

Here is my version:



Here is the same with size 20

"The only problem I see switching from Dopus to UE is that Jim, the developer, doesn't consider this his main product;I mailed him 2 days ago, with kudos and a feature request, and never heard back from him yet."

Thanks for the kudos.  I get so many emails and questions on the message forum I can't answer them all.  If the request is simple I will do it quickly.  If I don't reply it is because it would take more time then I have.  I am trying to get it stable so simple changes now I will do, more complicated I want to wait till I am satisfied with the stability (measured in bug reports I get).

This is just a hobby for me so my time is limited.

With two young daughters growing up I fear the opposite will be true. 

Jim

I find UE both pretty and stable but what - no file search? Now that is a deal breaker.

I installed Ultra Explorer 2 week ago and... was impressed too.

BUT... The only problem is that it crashes very often on my PC (and I lost my configuration each time it did).

Anybody experienced crashes?

I was just about to write that. Yes, it crashed the very day i installed it and tried to save a folder as default. Not a good first impression.
PowerDesk Pro has become my default. Although my preference above others, even it has it's own glitches every once in a while, so i end up going back to Windows Explorer in certain situations.

With regards to a recent post. Can we hope that FARR will have a better file search, not only than UltraExplorer etc. etc. but even better than CopernicDS or Google's? 

Check it out!:

DITTO!!!

I really love UltraExplorer cause its' column view  - Mac like
But it crashs very often on my computer ( NO SETTINGS CHANGED )

Ultra explorer is such a nicely optimized and organized explorer replacement. It has drop box, history,column view etc that are not available in free other replacements.

Oh, yes, Ultra Explorer is now with Search!
