"XYplorer" WITH A LAUNCHBAR!

I am currently using another file manager/explorer. I am debating over yours or the one I have. I can not seem to do some of the basic things I need to do. I have looked at the help files.
I need to have a launch bar. This I use when I need to go to different folders. Like I have all my temp, history folders here. After I am finished on the web I go there and an systematically able to go to each one and clean out/delete all the garbage.
Also I, on the other file manager, I call up dual window panes for the tree directory. I then can move files from a plugged in usb, hd or another folder on my hdrive.
Thanks JC

If you need a place to store locations (to go to), applications (to start or open files with), and much more ; you might wanna have a look at the Catalog !

Hi and a belated welcome to the XY forums!

Regarding dual panes: It's been the subject of many discussions here (some quite heated/hostile) but if you want to see the current thread, look at this thread "Dual Pane Proposal" so DP is not out of the question at some future point.

BTW, it might get a tiny bit confusing with a signature of "JC" as that's sometimes how I'm referred to here...plus a signature isn't really needed anyway here, so possibly consider that option.
