Awesome x 2

In my sundry attempts at finding a decent tabbed Windows Explorer replacement, there has always been some fly in the ointment.  My last favorite was a good one, Cubic Explorer was a good one, the best I’ve seen, but alas, problems with Windows 7 and some niggling bugs have kept it from my newly installed OS.  Such is life.

Nothing works like Explorer.  It’s only downfall is its over-minimalist (if that’s not an oxymoron) approach.  Tabs.  Come on.  The Windows 7 version is a big improvement with Libraries and a default-shown folder tree panel, but really.  Tabs.  Come on.

Here’s a solution I’m trying, and it looks great.  As long as it’s not buggy, I’d say it’s a winner above any solution that isn’t based on Explorer itself:

If anyone else tries it and likes/dislikes it, feel free to let me know your experience.
