Looks like they have added a new category at slant, "What are the best file managers for windows 10?":
https://www.slant.co/topics/14789/~file ... windows-10
The old category "What are the best file managers for Windows?" still exists, well...
If you have the time give XY a thumbs up, it's just a click, and it helps. :tup:

There is also a new (?) category "What is the best method to find duplicate files in Windows 10?":
https://www.slant.co/topics/9233/~metho ... windows-10
XY is missing here. I will add it later today, I strongly think it belongs. :) :cup:

Friday, June 18th 2021, 17:00 UTC+1, there is some discussion about XY and TC on Twitch TV. It's probably in Spanish, and you have to have an account:

[translated from German:]
Final thoughts
In my opinion, XYplorer is the best all-round file manager that offers both tabbed browsing and a two-pane view and has all the advanced features you need for everyday file management.

Interestingly, the article seems to be translated to German (and not checked afterwards). The heading for Directory Opus is named "Verzeichnis Opus", Verzeichnis as the translation for Directory :)

An older English (original) version can be found here: https://geekflare.com/windows-file-managers/, dated from November 2022.

Best regards

Oh, wow! Thank you for noticing that! The information on the internet is becoming a huge and growing pile of garbage. It takes forensic methods to dig up some traces of the truth.

Come on, they never really tested it (KI written?).
Too many buttons with unclear functionality...
Yeah, it probably was to difficult for them to right click the toolbar and show button captions?

Not only scripting seems too advanced for the average tester, even the most basic configuration stuff is^^

I think there wasn't enough space to print the full verdict: "Don't pay for it unless you want top performance, features, portability, and customizability."

That review above should have being named: "Should i get smart or keep average". Not being able to pay and searching for alternatives is one thing, but trying to shit on cool powerful-featured tool is way another. Looks like either paid or "kid got in touch with a Tool, while being used to toys".

I fully agree with you.
They compare XY with a tool like Files which misses all what real file mangers can do today.
