Formal Request: Add Column View

I would like to see this added in an upcoming version of XYPlorer.

As a dual-platform user (OS X & Vista) I believe that being able to view multiple levels of your hard drive AT THE SAME TIME is quicker for finding and moving files than Tree View.

For those not familiar with Column View, here is the Linux version (Dolphin File Manager):

OS X Finder column view:

What are the chances of this being added any time soon?

Well, rather low. It was discussed here in the forum some weeks ago, and IIRC the consensus was that it's not that good unless you are coming from the Mac world.

I'm 99% sure this was discussed in a prior thread, because I seem to recall asking for a screenshot example, but under what title, I've not got a clue, and I'm quite busy today, so maybe you can search older threads?
Update: :roll: Oh! So you were the one who asked for this back in Feb! In this thread: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=2155
So why start a new one? :? I don't get that...just bump the old one...I don't see how a new thread will make it happen any sooner....just my $.02!
