Lightroom

Top Pro

Excellent asset management capabilities

Lightroom allows, for example, organizing images based on folders, color labels, flags, rating, keywords, GPS location, it can automatically create smart albums (albums that automatically update based on set rules) and it can be set to automatically backup, rename based on set rules, apply default processing, add keywords to images on import. It offers that functionality in an intuitive way and allows extensively customizing layout, behavior and workflow of managing assets to better suit your needs. See More

Top Con

No layer-based image editing capabilities

There are no layers removing any ability to blend images, create composits, overlay text, etc. See More

Top Pro

HDR support

Can merge multiple shots into one in order to expand dynamic range. See More

Top Con

Hot folder option could be better

It can take a couple of seconds for Lightroom to check the folder for incoming images and that can noticeably slow down the workflow. Additionally, only the last image is imported as active. See More

Top Pro

Facial recognition helps find and tag people

Lightroom has built-in facial recognition support that can be used to find the same person in any collection of photographs. See More

Top Con

There's a learning curve

Top Pro

A good number of cameras have built-in lens profiles for lens distortion correction

Lightroom has over 900 lens profiles from all kinds of manufacturers, including major lens brands like Canon, Nikon, Leica, Pentax, Ricoh, etc. You can see the full list of supported lenses here. Lens profiles will in most cases speed up the process of correcting lens distortion down to 1-2 clicks. See More

Top Con

Telemetry

Adobe is interested in what you do with "their" software. Just install wireshark and see the story unfold. Don't have that or too difficult? Just take a bank note, scan it. See if you can get it on your screen... See More

Top Pro

Intuitive interface that's streamlined for a photographer's workflow

At a high level the interface is organized into broad groups of tools called workflow modules. Modules like "Library" for asset management and "Develop" for manipulating the photos. Each module displays only those tools that are needed for that task. This allows you to separate concerns between tasks and reduces interface clutter. When you're, for example, developing the image, you're not bothered by interface tools relating to exporting it. Within each module tools are grouped in a logical manner. Develop module, for example, will group tools relating to basic image adjustment, lens correction, and effects. And there are a plethora of keyboard shortcuts that improve the workflow speed even further. At all times you can easily navigate between images you're working via arrow keys, quickly compare images before and after making edits with \, or see side by side comparisons with y. See More

Top Con

Expensive and subscription

As with other software offerings, Adobes portfolio keeps giving. For the customer/ user however, this means that you never own your software, but you rent it. Until the point your landlord throws you out. See More

Top Pro

Supports tethered capture

You can connect your camera directly to Lightroom and have Lightroom display images as soon as they are captured. See More

Top Con

Has no menu bar

Hence it is not well suited for visually orientated users which find or remember commands by using a mouse and a menu. Even the fman's hero Sublime Text uses a menu bar. See More

XYplorer

Top Pro

Extremely configurable

There are literally hundreds of ways you can customize this software. All the settings can be contained in a single configuration file, so you can easily create "profiles" as well. See More

Top Con

Not user frendly

You will spend more time managing the manager than getting work done, and even for basic customization you will suffer a great deal. See More

Top Pro

Lifetime license available

XYplorer probably has the best "bang for the buck". It surely has its cons but considering what one gets for a "small" one-time investment, probably no other comparable feature rich product offers a better license. The lifetime license ($63.95) includes all future updates for free, lets you install on any number of computers, and includes the portable version. See More

Top Con

Single-threaded

Doesn't do internal multitasking so often you sit there waiting and waiting and waiting for the window to come back. See More

Top Pro

Frequent and regular updates

Bugfixes and new features are released frequently. Additionally, XYplorer can automatically check for updates and has convenient download and update functionality built-in. See More

Top Con

May be unresponsive at times

When browsing large number of files and using advanced features like preview, the program may become unresponsive. However, it is fair to say that given enough search and preview options and considering file security, network file share performance, malware or anti-malware activity, it is reasonable to expect situations where long delays could occur with any file manager. See More

Top Pro

Very reliable

It's small and fast, has lots of features, and helps you get your work done faster. See More

Top Con

No FTP support

XY doesn't support FTP, SSH, FTPS, etc. See More

Top Pro

Numerous filtering, sorting, and highlighting methods for files

Create rules and configurations to quickly identify and locate specific types of file and display them in various ways. See More

Top Con

No working high-dpi support

XYplorer will not properly scale when working in a mixed configuration consisting of both Full-HD and high-dpi screens. See More

Top Pro

Dual pane

Manage files with two panes which can be arranged horizontally or vertically - and each can have multiple tabs to boot. You can also easily save and reload open tabs as tab sets. See More

Top Con

No themes

You can customize toolbars, but there are no themes available. See More

Top Pro

Scriptable

Uses a very flexible scripting language that you can do many things with it. After learning it, one can get many other tools replaced in favor of a single centralized, extremely customize-able command center, plus writing one own's personal routines to fully perform finely-tuned file management. However, doing basic things like stringing together common renaming and moving tasks takes very little knowledge. Scripting is easy for beginners, is supported by the developer and the community, yet can be incredibly deep and powerful. See More

Top Con

Status bar not customizable

Users cannot customize the status bar. See More

Top Pro

Custom toolbar buttons

With its powerful scripting ability and the easily accessible menu identifiers, creating customized commands and toolbar buttons provides yet even further levels of usability specific to your needs. See More

Top Con

Top Con

Separate tree for each panel is missing

The possibility of having a separate tree for each of the 2 panels is lacking. See More

Top Pro

Easy to use

XYPlorer, in spite of its complexity and completeness, is very easy to use. Features are obvious. And where they're not obvious they can be discovered easily. An example is the ease of "Jump to Setting" which helps you effortlessly find which of many settings you're looking for. See More

Top Con

Poor touchscreen support

While an option exists to scale up icon sizes to improve touchscreen support, the program does not pan and scroll intuitively. See More

Top Pro

Extensive metadata

Mark files with colored labels, tags, comments, as well as multiple columns with user-defined metadata for everything from ratings, urls, and whatnot. See More

Top Con

Cannot display files as grouped

Especially in thumbs view it would at times be nice to be able to group the files in the display. Sometimes it might also be nice in others views as well. XY is only able to sort the files in the display but not able to group, though it does support arbitrary sort order and advanced link types. See More

Top Pro

Customizable keyboard shortcuts

XYplorer is great for heavy keyboard users. Its many keyboard shortcuts are also fully configurable. Additionally, XYplorer offers multiple ways to navigate to file system using only a handful of keys. That said, one can do things with a mouse like press an icon in a custom column to run a script on the corresponding file or folder. Mousers are happy too. See More

Thumbnail viewing for images is both fast and customizable

If you're a photographer, wannabe photographer, or you just take a lot of photos, XYplorer is a great file manager for working with images. Combined with the Mouse Down Blow Up (MDBU) feature, previewing photos is very easy. See More

Top Pro

Portable

It doesn't require you to install it on your computer, allowing you to run it directly from a disk or from an USB flashdrive. See More

Top Pro

Easy to organize lots of files at once

Known as Branch View in XYPlorer. Select a folder or multiple folders and select Branch View to get a flat file view of the selected folder/s with files only, folders only or both. Alternatively, select Branch View to get a flat view of the current folder. Results can then be filtered, sorted, organised, moved, copied, renamed etc accordingly. Extremely useful if you have a lot of files to organise. See More

Top Pro

Folder sizes shown

Folder sizes and amount of files within the folders can be shown. This is very useful when trying to work out where the HDD space has gone. See More

Top Pro

Search and virtual folders

Its search ability and functions combined with a multitude of file actions and the ease of creating virtual folders is a major time saver. See More

Top Pro

Custom file and folder icons

Add a custom icon to a set of files or folders based on file type, location, name (or part of name) for example: all files named XYplorer to have 'icon x' or all folders that contain the word XYplorer in the name to have 'icon y', size, date, name length, path etc. You can customize an infinite number of icons for an infinite number of files and/folders or even just a single one based on what ever combination you want. No extra files are created like with other programs that place an icon in each directory. The customized icons are stored within the "Icons" folder of the XYPlorer directory while the list of customized file/folder patterns as well as which particular icon to point to are stored within XYplorer .ini file. It's set and forget as all file/folder icon associations are applied globally. Meaning that all new files or folders that match your predefined pattern or instruction if you like will automatically be displayed with your chosen icon. Customized icons are also very very flexible. It's so easy to add, remove, change and fine tune your settings to your liking. To turn the customized icons on or off is simply a matter of pressing the handy toggle button. Further flexibility comes with the ability to turn on or off individual custom icons with a simple tick box. It is a bit of a learning curve to get the pattern (instruction to select certain files/folders to be associated with a particular icon) just right. But as results are immediately visible, it makes it easy to adjust accordingly to exactly what you want. There are some examples of these patterns included within the "Customize File Icons" UI or settings box to get you started by selecting the "I" button. A more extensive list is available in the XYPlorer help file. Once you get the hang of it though, the same patterns can be applied to other customizations in XYPlorer for example color filters or Ghost filters. See More

Top Pro

User interface is extremely customizable

XYplorer's user interface can be customized in almost every conceivable manner, from size and placement of various frame elements, to fonts, colors, toolbar buttons, if you can think it, you can probably do it. See More

Top Pro

Separate 32 and 64-bit context menus

This is very useful for accessing some context handlers or when using the portable version across several systems. See More

Top Pro

Long path names supported brilliantly

Windows File Explorer, over time, will eventually allow you to create path lengths, usually accidentally, that are "very long" (ie too many characters based on Windows standards). And then, out of nowhere, you no longer have full functionality available to the directories and files in that long path. eg: you won't be able to open a file, or rename it, or copy it, or delete it, etc. In order to regain full functionality available to the files/ directories in that "long path", you have to go and manually shorten the "long path" length by deleting characters in filenames, directory names, etc, In other words, Microsoft will "allow" you to break the rules (.. ie in most cases without warning ), but then won't support the broken rules. This is where XYPlorer is super useful -- especially when you move big chunks of data from A to B -- you no longer have to care about long path name issues. See More

Top Pro

Per-user license

Just one license covers all of your computers. See More

Top Pro

Extremely versatile renaming

Renaming can also be combined extremely easily in basic scripts for chaining and combining the strengths of the different types of renaming available. Can also rename based on metadata.You don't really need to "learn scripting" to chain a bunch of renaming commands. Multiscripts can even give you a menu of your chained renames - with nested menus if desired. It takes very little knowledge to be able to do this. One can even run such a script by drag and drop. See More

Faster than Windows Explorer ever thought of being

This is faster than Windows Explorer when combined this with TeraCopy. Currently, it is present in the right-click menu, but you can drag and drop it to copy with Windows File Explorer. See More

Directory Opus

Top Pro

Customizable UI

Allows customizing toolbars and keyboard hotkeys. Has a full scripting interface that allows in-depth customization options. See More

Top Con

Expensive

Compared to the other options, Directory Opus is quite expensive. Prices are $35 for the Lite version and $64 for Pro (price changes based on the AUD to US exchange rate). Upgrading from light to pro costs about $30. See More

Top Pro

Can be set to replace Windows Explorer

Unique Explorer Replacement mode provides a full replacement for Windows Explorer. See More

Top Con

Portability costs more

On top of an already expensive license, users must purchase a separate Export License to create a portable version. See More

Top Pro

Batch-options

Allows batch renaming, viewing and editing file metadata. See More

Top Con

Can be intimidating to novice/inexperienced users

While the program is ULTRA-customizable, this can be a double-edged sword to anyone that is overwhelmed easily or not willing/able to learn the inner workings of DOpus. See More

Top Pro

Allows color-coding and assigning star ratings to files and folders

This is done with Directory Opus' inbuilt label and its Status system. See More

Top Con

Only available for Windows

Top Pro

FTP support

Supports SFTP (Secure FTP via SSH, port 22) Also supports FTP via SSL (port 990) and FTP via with TLS. Caution: FTP is a paid additive to the product although in relative terms it's not too expensive (around $12). See More

Top Con

Restrictive license

Product is licensed on a "per-machine basis" requiring purchasing multiple expensive licenses to cover a single user with multiple machines. However, if you have time and luck, you can write to the DO sales department and they can produce another license for you to use personally on another machine you own. See More

Top Pro

Supports different archive formats

Supports archive formats like Zip, 7Zip and RAR. See More

Top Con

Limited to only two views

You are only able to have two concurrent views at a time. It does help, that you are able to have both the metadata-pane and the viewer-pane open whilst using Dopus in dual-view mode. See More

Top Pro

Tools for synchronizing files and finding duplicates

Can easily synchronize files and helps the user in finding and deleting duplicates. See More

Top Con

Limited support for Touch / Tablet mode

Your file manager + Start Menu are the main way to launch programs/documents... When using Touch Mode, the Surface running Opus would be far more usable if some attention was paid to this use case. See More

Top Pro

Customizable status bar

Directory Opus allows users to customize the status bar to display helpful information based on several different factors, including file counts, types, disk space, and others. The status bar can also be customized separately for dual displays. See More

Top Con

Complicated if one pursues mastery on the most advanced features

Takes a long time to become efficient with it. Mastering all the features can be rather exhausting. See More

Top Pro

Available for different architectures

Available in both 32 and 64 bit versions. See More

Top Con

No good support for right-sided tree

The only way to get a right sided tree is to display both panes in horizontal layout and then switch the first (upper) tree off. Which leaves you with 2 horizontal panes and one tree on the right. There is no other way (neither with 2 vertical nor with 1 pane) to have a tree on the right side. And since this layout setting is rather the step-child of the developers, it also is a bit buggy and not of top priority as far as fixing any issues with it. See More

Top Pro

Tabs

Directory Opus has tabs for each view, which are customizable in size, appearance, functionality, etc. See More

Top Con

Large file sizes

The installer weighs in at 50MB and the app directory is over 95MB. See More

Top Pro

Customized filters

Directory Opus allows users to create custom filters that can be saved and recalled as needed. See More

Top Con

No native/good support for restoring multiple search paths for the find files tool

Although all other options of the find files tool are very good, there simply is no easy way of regularly using the same multiple search paths. For using only one search path, one can simply navigate to that path and activate the automatic path-use-button in the tool or choose one path from the previous paths drop-down, but that only works for one path. It can get cumbersome if one wants to restore multiple search paths at once. One must basically write his own script to do that. This is surprisingly annoying that such a basic and needed functionality is not natively supported (built-in) by such a generally powerful program. See More

Top Pro

Extended scripting API

The scripting capabilities of DirectoryOpus extend from version to version. You can do a whole lot of unheard stuff with that. Custom columns, custom commands, handling events etc. just to name a few things. It even has a GUI editor to allow for custom interfaces for your file management and scripting tasks. Even though mastering it is not easy in the beginning, it's worth it in the long run. See More

xplorer²

Emojis and Japanese characters appear as question marks, for example. See More

Top Pro

Ability to save state

xplorer² gives users the ability to save the state, so the program will open with the same state the next time it's used. See More

Top Con

Stagnating rate of development

Any improvements to the software are happening at a glacial pace which is making this software more and more outdated for a long time now. Only a few minor improvements a year. User suggestions for improvements are routinely rejected or explained away. As for suggesting new features -- you'll quickly abandon all hope. Only realistic reason to visit their support forums is to read Kilmatead's posts -- for anything else prepare to be disappointed. UPDATE (and slightly offtopic): Kilmatead seems to be no longer active on the forums, so the next best thing is xplorer2 blog which seems to often feature interesting technical topics. See More

Top Pro

Free version available

There is a free version available, xplorer² Lite, for non-commercial use. See More

Top Con

Un-evolved

The interface is essentially unchanged since its Windows XP days, with very little customization possible. Organization of features is convoluted, with some simple ones, like individual icons to quickly switch views missing. The stagnant cluttered design can make even long-time users drop the program. See More

Top Pro

Good all-purpose file manager

Top Con

Distracting prompts in the Lite version

A free version of the program is available, xplorer² lite. However it is very light on features, and will display a prompt if a feature is selected that isn't available in the Lite version. The full program is $29.95 for advanced and $49.95 for max power. See More

Top Pro

Faster than most similar applications

It's hard to find a free or low cost alternative that is as quick, and stable, especially managing NTFS volumes on a remote NAS. It still freezes and chokes, just not as often as newer applications, like XYplorer, Free Commander, etc. See More

The total commander is convenient to use both with the mouse and exclusively using the keyboard. But using only the keyboard gives it a big increase in the speed of work because you do not aim at your mouse. You need some time to get used to it, but it's really worth it. See More
