2008-06-21 16:08 Many years ago when DOS was popular one file manager dominated the market - this was XTree Gold.
XTree Gold introduced a simple but very effective interface to manage files. This included a command bar with predefined commands which can easily be executed with a single key stroke.
XTree Gold offered many functions which are not available in most of the "modern" file managers, for example File Masks to display only files that match a file specification (e.g. *.doc) and History lists to select a previously used values (e.g. path names or file names) for every command.
XFile from Coastline Software offers most of the original functionality of XTree Gold within a real Microsoft Windows application.
In addition many new functions, like Go To, File Viewers, Image Gallery and Web Commands have been added to XFile.
Unlike many other applications XFile is very compact (less than 1 MB in file size), leaves only a small footprint in the memory, is very fast and requires no installation.
