Yah Exploring is not for everyone nor is Finder. I think that the tree view in Exploring while still showing the contents of the tree is great (compared to thee sliding panes in Finder for example) and the context menu integration of many apps is also good (eg win merge and tortoise).
- unalone 18y agoI think that the tree view in Exploring while still showing the contents of the tree is great But that's something that Finder handles, also. The CMD-2 view. Or am I missing something? Also, what are in Merge and Tortoise? I don't get what context menu integration means.
- elai 18y agothe cmd-2 view shows files & folders in one window, while explorer shows a tree of folders only on the left and the contents on the right.
- unalone 18y agoSounds a bit excessive. But whatever works, works. Thanks for clarifying!
- wizlb 18y agoContext menu integration (more commonly known as shell integration) means that when you install certain programs like Tortoise, the program will add extra menu items to the context menus that show up when you right-click files of a specific type or a folder. I love my Beyond Compare shell integration. Right-click on Folder A, choose "select left side", find Folder B, right click, choose "compare to Folder A" and then Beyond Compare pops up and diffs all the files in the two folders.
- unalone 18y agoOh, gotcha. I don't know. I never really used that as a Windows user. It seemed to add clutter, and that always bugged me. But I guess it helps for some things. Beyond Compare sounds nifty.
