Another nice software to compliment Windows Explorer

mtExplorer is a minimalist multi-pane file explorer. I have tried quite a number of dual-pane and tabbed file explorers, but none of them could give me four to six Explorer panes simultaneously in a single window.
So I wrote mtExplorer, which can be configured to display 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 Explorer panes at once. You can drag-and-drop files between panes easily. There are no menus, status bars, or fancy toolbars to get in the way. Buttons are kept to a minimum. The right-click context menu is used to perform most operations.
mtExplorer consists simply of a small executable file. Settings are written to an INI file in the same folder as the EXE file. No installation is required. You should be able to run it from any folder, or pop it into a USB memory stick and run it on any Windows PC.

This is fantastic. A good example of how minimal can be powerful and efficient. I thought 6 panes was a little overdoing it, but actually the extra panes are quite helpful.
When the view settings are set to thumbnail, it makes for a pretty good image viewer too. With the extra panes, you can easily have one set on details and another set on thumbnails for easy image browsing.
Really smart programming.

I wrote a review of Directory Opus which I found solves many problems with Vista explorer

Hi,
I like the idea… It is a creative software… Thanks… Wouldn’t it be better if options available for viewing in large size (like preview of a photo etc)?
