What the Zuk is a (very) occasional feature, in which I review software that I have been using for many years, and which is instrumental for my work. These are the first tools I install on every new system, the reliable work-horse applications I turn to for every need. In every installment I will try to explain what makes this particular program special, and why I find it so vital for my ...

A web browser without tabs? Hard to come by. Windows Explorer, on the other hand, is still pretty much the same pane it's always been. Qmmander is a lightweight, portable alternative. Built on Nokia's QT framework, Qmmander (like many Explorer replacements) adds tab support and split-window views to power up your file management tasks. File browsing is snappy, even when exploring shares on ...

We've covered many, many Explorer replacements here in the past, so I was a little surprised that MuCommander hadn't been written up yet. What makes MuCommander stand out is that it is free, open source, and cross-platform. The author's web site provides downloads for Windows, Mac, and Linux (.tar.gz) as well as a Debian package, portable version, and a Java Web Start package. It's actually the ...

If you're like us, your hard drive is anything but tidy. That's because us power users can't be bothered to keep things organized - there are just too many awesome things out there to download, extract, and forget about because half of them turn out to be garbage. FlexTK for Windows helps make short work of cleaning up after yourself, offering a full complement of file management tools in one ...

What's one of the worst things about Windows? The explorer function to find folders, documents, and pictures of your cat doing funny things. NexusFile aims to replace Windows Explorer. Here are some of the cool features that NexusFile sports that the Windows team left out on Explorer: Favorite Folders Tab support - This is a big productivity one Smart bar that remembers the directories ...

File copying between computers or even folders on a local system can sometimes be a bit of a pain. File sizes seem to be getting bigger, and the number of files we want to be moving around seems to be growing as well. One way to manage your file copies and moves is to install a tight little utility called TeraCopy. When installed, TeraCopy integrates into Windows Explorer and by default handles ...

Could this online office suite steal people away from the popular Google and Zoho? It seems far from likely that Peepel will ever take market share away from the online office application space. However, they might look a little amateur, but a lot of development work has gong under the Peepel hood, showing how serious people are indeed trying to get into this space. Peepel has just announced ...

I've tried a number of Windows Explorer replacements, and while I always seem to migrate back to using it, I can't help but think there's a better option out there somewhere. The latest in my list of trials has been with a program called A43 File Management Utility. I'm sort of on the fence about this one; it has a number of features that are missing from Windows Explorer, but some of them feel ...

Anybody who has ever bought web hosting knows that web-based file management is severely deficient. I myself almost always give up and just fire up WinSCP. But hope is on the horizon: Relay is a very slick PHP-based directory manager that uses Ajax to streamline file management tasks.  It features expanding/collapsing folders, drag-and-drop for moving files, a nice File Information block ...
