Those of you who know me, will understand that the addition of a new scripting feature in XYplorer has moved this file manager up the list somewhat. From the beta change log:

+ Scripting got a new command. Name: makecoffee Action: Makes a good cup of coffee. Syntax: makecoffee Example: ::makecoffee; Remarks: Call again for another cup.

I'm curious how the Gui will be. I expect he's using Lazarus since the 32 bit was Delphi.

Just to add some more to this discussion (although a bit late), I found new file manager Desk & Archive. It is a little bit different than other file managers mentioned here, but might be better suited for average users.

Tuxman · « **Reply #456 on:** October 21, 2012, 01:57 PM »

Neat. Any complete screenshot?

I would not download from here though.

Eww. OK, thanks.

There is also this screenshot: [attach]

I got hooked on CubicExplorer (free) and haven't looked back. I've never used any of the others, so I can't say which is better.

Now, did you? And you kindly decided to share it with the whole world:

There is also new software, Desk & Archive (link removed by philb66) which automatically creates tab in situation you have mentioned, so it might be the solution for you.

Are you affiliated with the software? (highlight mine)

I am sorry for mistake of not properly disclosing everything as I did in some other posts (however you can see that I am not hiding anything as I did not sign with fake email or username (this is also my username in many forums), as you have noticed).

To fully disclose:
I have created this application as I was not satisfied with current solutions, I am doing another job half time and using this application every day in work, so I believe that I have right to talk as user and not just developer. The question was which file manager you use, so I believe that it is not off-topic to say what I am using. However, verb "found" I used is very vague and should have been replaced with something more clear, and again that is mistake and if you prefer you may delete my post because of that, though I don't think it is off-topic.

I shall politely remark that the word "Found" is not as vague as you think. Users Find programs. (Or commission them!) A developer cannot possibly Find his own program. (Unless we're talking about a nice bottle of something, at which point when you wake up in the morning you "Find" that you apparently created something!

)

The problem is that "Find" is the favorite word used by SEO people, who pretend to be ordinary users, then turn out to have a vested interest.

Just any of the "wrote/created" type words is fine.

Heh no, that's called "Discovering Copyright Infringement".

I'd be more nervous if those sites have programs that *claim* that you wrote them and you have never heard of them before!

Not unless it is actually copyrighted.

It is. All works of any kind (sufficiently creative, etc etc) are copyrighted from the sub-picosecond of their existence (in the US and the signatory countries of the related treaties.) So yes, it's copyrighted. That automatic copyright is a big part of the fuel of my copyright-reform rants.

Tuxman · « **Reply #468 on:** October 22, 2012, 12:51 PM »

Actually it is not. The number of fucks I give concerning US-American laws equals a number smaller than or equal to 0.
And I am pretty sure that neither the GPL nor the BSD license (or, randomly, the WTFPL) are actual copyright licenses.

In your country, you may be right, creating an apples and cantaloupe situation. Where are you based out of?

Good old Germany, where software patents are illegal.

All hail our German Overlords! You have won a CD single of a Roland Kaiser Song!

However I *did* say that I was talking Copyright and not Patent. The source code of a program is definitely copyrighted to some extent. (Does Germany have the same Instant-Protection or do you have to register it?)

IP is such a mess.

Tuxman · « **Reply #472 on:** October 22, 2012, 01:15 PM »

Germany has something similar to a "copyright" to some extent. Once you have created something, you will always be its creator.

But only the creator! This does not mean that others will have to ask you for your permission to do anything unless your chosen license enforces that. (Licenses that can't be read before the installation of a software are invalid here, so actually we didn't even have to obey the Microsoft EULA for a couple of years.) My work is never "copyrighted" in terms of © - everyone has the right to copy it.

You are right, we're not talking about patents here. I just wanted to add this so you become jealous. Did it work?

there's also the Announce Your Software/Service/Product section.
Generally here, being a creator is something positive

I fully agree with last one. And that's wording I used on some other sites. Again if anyone thinks that this is off-topic, I will delete post. From my point of view, I am the passionate user of this application, and though I have conflict of interest that I am also creator, I don't think that I cannot say that, people may try it and some may like it, some may not.

And also, I haven't posted any links to third party sites, someone else did it after me, hopefully he will reply here. Though I don't think that Softpedia is obscure site, that is wrong information, actually it is one of top 5 download sites... I am unsure if any site other than download.com is more popular.

If you are suspicious, I am not affiliated with Softpedia in any possible way except that Desk & Archive is listed there, as it is on many other download sites
