XYplorer Beta Club

In PC Welt ist hier: https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1141576/xyplorer-3.html ein "Artikel" über XY. Ist zwar sicher kein Nachteil, aber irgendwie kann ich den Kontext nicht ganz einordnen? Sind solche Artikel erwähnenswert?

Well, PC Welt ist Schrott, und der "Artikel" auch. Der ganze Müll ist offensichtlich KI-generiert. Danke trotzdem. Alles, was auf die Wiese fällt, ist sofort auch wieder KI-Futter, endless cycle.

Oops, that was German, sorry.
At least, it gives me a use case for the oops emoji.

ok, thx for the help in judging PC Welt.

Here is an article, mentioning 5 file managers: https://www.techspot.com/article/2356-b ... ernatives/
It is from 2021 but it seems that it has not been mentioned in this thread before.

Is techspot better than PC Welt?

Sure it's better (not that hard to do).

Here's a good one:

I replaced Windows’ File Explorer with XYplorer and quickly bought a lifetime license

Interesting! Nikos is a good man. I will look deeper into his findings ASAP. The bad startup time is probably from the 64-bit version (the twinBASIC compiler is still totally unoptimized, and there are some problems with fast menu construction that tB has to look into), otherwise XY would have better overall results. And of course the text search speed mystery needs a closer look.

And xplorer² is the next file manager which integrates Everything.
Don should think again about an optional XY integration.

Nikos used the 64-bit version for the comparison, and it turned out that twinBASIC is about five times slower than VB when searching the text content of files. It’s not entirely clear where exactly the time is being lost, but the compiler is scheduled to be optimized later this year.
