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)



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.


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.


Look as ServantSalamander but open source


Because it is Servant Salamander 4.0. It is all written in Readme.
