FREE MULTI-PANE FILE EXPLORER FOR WINDOWS EXTRA

Power users often find the standard Windows File Explorer too limited and need a
more complete file manager to suit their needs. If you're among them look no
further because we've got the right app for you with Q-Dir.

Q-Dir is a multi-pane file manager for Windows that makes file management more
convenient and above all, far more comfortable for you. Having several windows
pointing to different locations on your hard drive makes it much easier to move
or copy data from one folder to another, and also makes browsing faster. Q-Dir
supports different layouts with 2, 3 o 4 panes and each one of them can be
configured separately.



Q-Dir doesn't really add any extra function to the ones already featured in
Windows Explorer, but there's one special feature I did like: the possibility to
show files in different colors according to the file type, such as blue for
images, red for music and so on. Plus, this color code is totally customizable.

Q-Dir doesn't require installation and can even been run from a USB stick.

Though it doesn't feature any special tool, Q-Dir is still a more complete file
manager with multiple panes and customizable color codes for file types.

changes: Open Quick-Link's in new tab via midl mouse button Open Folders via
Folder menu in new tab via midl mouse button Disable Transparent Selection (at
W7/Vista) via Menu/Extras/List-View Too long path, we shortened the text in the
title bar correctly eg ../../file.xxx pros: Multi-pane interface makes file
management easier, Several layouts to choose from, Color code for files cons: No
extra tools like you find in other Explorer alternatives

Q-Dir makes your files and folder easy to manage. Fast and easy access, with an
amazing Quadro-View technique.

You don't have to renounce the usual, Drag and Drop, all Views, and other
functions of your system. No! Q-Dir gives you other nice functions, that make
you happy. One can save many hand moves and also time!

Q-Dir does not have to be installed and can be executed easily from the desktop.
Rename Q-Dir_Installer.exe to Q-Dir.exe and GO. It's a small famous utility for
Windows PC-s and also an USB-stick friend. Moreover, it is also Windows 11
compatible.

   I dunno... looks a lot like Total Commander which I've been using for last 25
   years... Did you rip off Total Commander? ;)

   Basically, It's good, but look at Total commander. Some cool and very
   efficient features missing. I.e. efficient configurable search etc BR and
   keep god work More

   Once you use it you got it FOREVER..
   Not a bad program but decided it was not for me. BUT after deleting this
   supposedly portable program's files I found numerous registry entries I am
   still working to eliminate. Since its portable none of my uninstallers see
   it. You better like this program cause you may very well have it forever.
   Pros:
   works OK
   Cons:
   No way to remove portable program More

   Good program.
   This program has option to save settings/dir/everything as a shortcut (.qdr
   file), i like it so i has couple qdr in my desktop for easy browsing
   dir/files. Q-Dir is the best Explorer Replacement (ER) in my opinion, because
   i hate bloated and slow ER. I've used most ER on earth like Total Commander
   which is the best in functionality, or ExplorerPlusPlus which is simplest but
   no DualView. They are all good, but i always ended in Q_Dir.
   @ Matt Perkins: turn off/on auto expand in
   Extras/TreeView/SelectFolderFromList (and expand) Pros:
   - qdr creation
   - Fast as Explorer.exe
   - Smallest FootPrint
   - Has options/functionality that i need
   Cons:
   I think some new user will found some problems with the interface and
   options. they must try it one by one unless they found "...more
   option" and sometimes they ended with wierd/hard to use
   configuration. More

   Q-Dir is an inferior application.
   I read all the reviews thinking "wow, this application is so useful and
   yet it's free." I went ahead to download and install it. Well, sometimes
   you have to actually use one to verify for yourselve. I verified it myself
   and decided to uninstall the good-for-nothing application. It never worked.
   It froze each time I try to experiment to see how good it was with lots and
   lots of reviews. More

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any
potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is
uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This
comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as
follows:


Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more
than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been
detected.


Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled
software.

WHY IS THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM STILL AVAILABLE?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false
positives.

WHAT IS A FALSE POSITIVE?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly
broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.


Blocked

It’s highly probable this software program is malicious or contains unwanted
bundled software.

WHY IS THIS SOFTWARE PROGRAM NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN OUR CATALOG?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are likely to be
real positives.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially
malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of
programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every
catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
