Why Are File Managers So Stupid?

[dunfiddlin]

So you have Explorer open, navigating the folder tree to find a file, and what do you see? More %$£$^& folders!!!



I don't want to see folders in the right panel. I've got folders in the left panel. Do MS offer an option to hide folders in the right panel? No. Do any of the 3rd party file managers offer such an option? No! Why not? It's supposed to be a file manager for pity's sake so why can't I see the files without scrolling over screeds of folders in both panels?

After years of frustration I've decided there's no choice but to program my own file manager but before I commit months of my life and sign a waiver on my sanity, just one last appeal for anybody that knows of a 3rd party file manager, or an Explorer extension, or anything that will give me what I want without having to totally reinvent the wheel. Anyone? Please!

There is an intelligent file manger can do almost anything you can imagine, it is Total Commander which i wrote many addons for it (visit my site link in my signature)

Someone ask your question in TC forum and he got the answer, see the topic

Ok. Then I shall give it a try out and see if it's worth some of my hard earned cash. Thanks.

Just note, there are lot of hidden features under its default (many users say ugly) interface, but it is highly customizable to look so modern.

It is fully functional shareware which you can use for years until you feel that you cannot live without it.
