Does it need administrator access to install? If I can weasel that onto my work desktop without having to contact our support that would be great.
I have to use windows for work, and Windows Explorer annoys the everloving hell out of me.
What idiot thought that the "Home" folder and the User folder should be the different?
And regularly, when "Home" hasn't loaded I'm halfway done typing the address in the address bar "//someletters/adv" for example, it will decide to clear it to let me know I'm "Home"
You might have made my life just a little bit easier.
spent almost a decade straight on Win10 LTSC then switched to regular Win11 - I think Microsoft forgot how to make software. Vanilla edition is so bloated it is scary. Considering embracing Ubuntu.
The thing that really annoys me with Linux file explorers is that none of them have a "sort by extension". They have sort by type, but it'll mix .jpg, .png, .gif and .webp together, for instance.
obligatory linux user: whats an extension? Surely you mean File Type.
This might have been just a me issue.
But I used to be a long time Total/Double Commander user on Windows Vista & 7. But sometime after I switched to Windows 10 it stopped letting me change the default file manager to anything other than explorer...
I use the split panel feature in dolphin a lot. the shortcut is F3 if you didn't know already.
I like Thunar better. There was something really minor about Dolphin I didn't like. Maybe it was the way it handled tags or something, I can't remember anymore.
Great! Dolphin is also better than macOS Finder. I would replace it with Dolphin as well.
However, Windows Explorer in Windows 11 still excels in one area: it doesn't have a header, and the tabs are displayed on the header, like in Chromium.
It's also annoying that all KDE Dolphin tabs have that red [X] button. Sadly, the KDE developers reject great PRs like this one: https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/269
Who even presses those [X] buttons? I always use the Ctrl+W shortcut.
