Re: Replace Explorer

This would classify as "tighter shell integration". I agree, there are many places with an option to "open containing folder", in FDM for example. Of course we'll want xyplorer to open it rather than explorer. Seems pretty basic, I can't believe it doesn't do that. Another thing ...
