xplorer2 lite isn't officially released yet, but as an experiment I put it in the windows store
https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh404xm
it is for
windows 10 users only but the good news is that it is UNICODE and it works better with localized filenames
if you have a minute or 2 give it a quick star rating, or even write a short review, thanks!

"It is Unicode" is an amazingly low-technical description. What happened?

the regular lite version is ANSI only so it works everywhere. The store version only works for windows 10+ so it can be Unicode (==easy Chinese/greek/etc filenames)

Ah, so older x² Lite versions didn't work properly in your home country?

you need this workaround for the normal lite version:

Now I get it. Turns out I've used the capitalist editions for too long. Thanks for clarifying.
That's actually rather nice.
You might want to update
the table now.

Nikos, if it had the details panel I might even use it. I have AU on defer so I couldn't download it, well I assume that's why. M$ claimed I didn't have the requisite hardware. What does it want? An i7 6950X EE and a Terabyte of RAM. They missed an opportunity to offer me AU. It doesn't say it needs Windows 10 AU, just says Windows 10 - probably not under your control.

you need windows 10 version 1607 (anniversary) or better. Did you opt out from it? It was offered as an update last july

No as I said I deferred it, that might be a Pro only feature.
I think it'll offer itself again early in the New Year. 1607 Enterprise has only just started shipping, so its probably safe to install it now

Getting stuff from the Windows Store is annoying as hell... apparently you have to login to Windows with a Microsoft account to get anything... even though there is an option to login to the app only...
oh, well... I installed x2 lite in a VM and then copied the install folder to the host and it runs fine... I guess I have it available to answer questions since I'm not going to use it for normal activities...
