Having it pointed out like that, you're right. I think my 'big' complaints about Windows Explorer have just been the lack of tabs, which I think are being/have been added in Win11) and the multiple-windows-single-process model, which hasn't been as much of an issue lately with explorer being a lot more stable.
Otherwise explorer is a very smooth experience. I just treated it as bad because of frustrations with Windows in general.
- itsTyrion 5y agoI use QTTabBar and Link Shell Extension. Only thing I sometimes miss is the option to dropdown-view folder contents
- satsuma 5y agoexplorer also allows you to create a new window in a new process now, but not using a keyboard shortcut as far as i can tell. you have to go file > new window > new window using a new process. finicky, but possible.
- rstat1 5y agoThere's a setting in the Folder Options that lets you force folders to open in their own process. Find the "Launch folder windows in a separate process" option under Folder Options -> View Or at least there is in Windows 10, idk if they removed it with all the other useful stuff removed in Win11.
- viraptor 5y agoIt's still got some weird behaviours. For example right-click gives you the context menu for the currently selected file, not the one you just clicked. And no confirmation for large operations - you accidentally dragged one folder onto another because of a dodgy touchpad driver? You're now moving those GBs and will have to revert it manually afterwards.
- dsego 5y ago> lack of tabs, which I think are being/have been added in Win11 Unfortunately, they backtracked on that, so still no tabs.
