any chance of a screenshot?

how's the performance on directories with tens of thousands of files? (native file explorer is Very Bad, Directory Opus is not bad but not cheap neither)

Ah, I see the link in the repo now but thanks! looks like one would expect a classic windows app to look, perfect for me.

Edit: it opens a folder with 35,000 photos in it and sorts by size instantaneously, very good, Windows' File Explorer hangs on this task, CPU & RAM be damned.

So basically another Total Commander or similar? Is it faster than the "* Commanders" already available?

Been using some version of them since the early 00s (always the shareware version from Ghisler) and I have no idea if there's "faster" versions available, considering I also have folders with thousands of files.
