[POLL] File Managers-2008 Member Choice

Click for full size
Windows 3.1 File Manager-circa 1991
What software do you use for file management? A file manager is a graphical interface used to copy, move, delete, or create files and folders without typing arcane text

commands into a black screen. Some will include more complex features like ftp, telnet, directory size, etc. Do you use more than one program depending on the task?

Please comment on your vote.

Great Poll tahoejeff!

I usually let Windows do the tasks... but if I get a problem file/folder, I use FreeCommander.

Thanks for the poll, tahoejeff See Profile ! Good job.

In Windows I much prefer ExplorerXP - that's saved me a LOT of time doing bulk editing. In Linux I use whatever comes with the distro, most often Konqueror or Nautilus.

Good poll! Just use Windows explorer, tried some of the others and and got the feeling they were reinventing the wheel.

Great poll - I voted Total Commander, been using for many years.

XYplorer (»www.xyplorer.com) is fast becoming a favourite with many people it was even discussed and raved about in a recent podcast where it got software pick of the week... »www.twit.tv/ww37
XYplorer review starts at 1:06:00 min and runs for 4 minutes

The author release new version on an almost daily basis with some very innovative new features not seen on some of the other similar tools.

Windows explorer when in Windows and Thunar when in Linux. Can't really see any reason to use something different in either?

Don't know about a "great" poll, but different!

I've always used Windows Explorer, but with Vista's version of Explorer being more diabolical (things just seem to be buried deeper in it), would a third-party file manager be a better choice?

The Finder

A couple days ago it would have definitely been Windows Explorer. Now, my favorite choice is the Finder, which was massively improved in its latest revision (and boy, did it need it!).

Followed by:
2nd - Windows Explorer
3rd - Nautilus (Ubuntu 7.10)
