Description of features[edit]

A central feature is the hideable information panel at the bottom that can be used to view file properties and contents, generate reports, preview files (PNG, TIF, GIF, JPG, TGA, PSD, ICO; WAV, MP3, MPEG, AVI; TTF, PFB; HTML, EML, MSG, DOC, XLS, PDF, and many other formats) and find files. The search facility supports Boolean logic, regular expressions, whole word and fuzzy matching, binary string search, and multiple location search.

Some unique features are the Catalog, (which is a user created panel of links to files, folders, URLs, shortcuts, and similar entries), Scripting (which allows user to create stored sets of commands, similar to a macro), Mini Tree (a custom subset of the tree) and UDC (User Defined Commands, to create a limited set of customized commands). Other features includes advanced batch renaming capabilities, custom file copiers (supports file verifications, pause and resume, and course of action on file collisions), highly customizable color-coding for files (aka Color Filters. Allows color-coding of files based on one or more combinations of file types, dates, age, and size), and highly customizable visual filters allowing only certain files and folders to be displayed depending on the filter criteria. Also available is flat file viewing that allows parent folders to be seen in the same window.

XYplorer is continually developed with regular beta releases. Recently added features include Live Filtering, Sync Folders, Filtered Sync and Touchscreen Mode.^[2]

XYplorer is a portable (stand-alone) file manager. It does not require any installation, stores all data in the program's folder or a user defined folder, and running it does not change the system or registry unless by user request to set XYplorer as the default file manager or add to Windows context menu.

Historically, the application was first a search engine, and later grew into a more complete file manager.

Starting with version 12.00 (released January 2013), XYplorer became multilingual. In January 2018 it was available in 24 languages.^[3]

License types[edit]

As of January 2018, XYplorer is offered under a 'Lifetime Professional License' that gives access to unlimited updates for life and a cheaper 'Standard Professional License' that allows updates for a limited time.

Previous versions and license changes[edit]

XYplorer has been actively developed by Donald Lessau since 1997, originally dual-licensed as either freeware for non-commercial use or a professional license.

A feature-limited freeware version of XYplorer, XYplorerFree,^[5] was made available starting January 2, 2014.^[4] On January 10, 2017, it was announced that XYplorerFree had been discontinued. The last free version is still available as of January 2018.^[5]

An alternative to Windows Explorer, providing advanced file manipulation options and a tab-based interface you can easily get accustomed to

What's new in Portable XYplorer 20.20.0200:

• Minor bug fixes and enhancements.

Portable XYplorer is a powerful file managing system that can be used as an alternative to Windows Explorer.

Since this is a portable software, installation is not required. You can simply place Portable XYplorer on an external drive and run its executable file on any computer. Also, your Windows registry will not be affected.

The interface of the application is familiar to the one of Explorer, so navigating within it shouldn't be a problem to users of any level.

So, you can copy various elements to the clipboard (e.g. item base, compact file info, large icon, image, selected list row) and use special functions when renaming files (e.g. batch rename, search and replace, keep particular characters).

But you can also move, copy or backup files to a particular location, open an item with command-line arguments and paste special (e.g. image into new PNG file, text into new file).

In addition, you can locate files and repeat the last search, compare files (e.g. selected file with the one in clipboard), create new items, as well as manage and apply search templates.

Furthermore, you can view tabs and a mini tree, calculate folder sizes, go to the hotlist, create and manage a favorites list, add tags, run scripts, customize keyboard shortcuts, switch to dual pane mode, create new tabsets, and many others.

The file manager runs on a low amount of system resources, includes a comprehensive help file for beginners and has an excellent response time. We haven't come across any difficulties during our tests and highly recommend Portable XYplorer to all users, especially the experienced ones, since it comes with many advanced functions.
