Excellent question.CrossX wrote:Why, even in Windows 8, do they persist to have a single pane and not a dual pane file manager?
I guess that they think that the user can open another instance of explorer and tile them vertically/horizontally, then spend a few minutes figuring out how to remove the tree in one or both panes, perhaps even make the panes auto retract, good luck with that intuitive feature and then.... try to figure out how to save that state and then open both simultaneously again, or worse, whenever you open a new window it's half size and then spend hours figuring out that you have to close all windows then open one window only and tile that vertically to restore full size to all windows, and so it goes *sigh*.....
Guess that nikos's X2 is future proof, I certainly have no desire to jump ship to another app. nope, rather jump off a bridge than spend hours trying to figure out what the benefits of junctions are....
For those interested, the followup blog for Win 8 Explorer may be found here, including a video (if you're really sleepy) which seems intent upon proving that MS employees aren't people you'd care to have a drink with. Seems an awful lot of trouble for an OS that's little more than an excuse to buttress MS's flagging tablet sales.
If nothing else, the eagle-eyed amongst you might notice a slight rejigging of some wording in one of the paragraphs that was in the previous blog:

That's because your man was quick to mention those applications are installed, but not necessarily used. And, as MS are so proud of their little charts telling us what the top-10 commands are (for bored housewives), they probably reckon we don't use those features in the wild either.Tuxman wrote:...but added none of their primary improvements.
