On Windows 11, StartAllBack is a must. Never understood why they got rid of taskbar labels in the first place.

Directory Opus - dual pane "Commander" like file manager replacement with a ton of customization options (and scripting):

True Launch Bar - add custom taskbar toolbars with pop-up groups, additional extensions (like clipboard manager):

I use Stardock's Fences 3.
I constantly get reminded many times daily to update to V4.
I cannot turn off the reminder.
I do not trust them enough to update.
I would consider it if I had the update file to be able to check it out.

Directory Opus runs about $60. Just a bit expensive.
Would like on that can show the PSD (Photoshop) images.
Do they have a Black Friday sale?

They have a "light" version that's cheaper. I have seen November sales for 25% off.Kalamata Kid wrote: Sat Jul 23, 2022 1:54 pm

I have the Pro version (on Windows 10), which does allow me to preview PSD images. I believe that's included in the Light version, but you should check the web site to be sure.

To be able too view PSD images in the same way as JPG's is important to me but not a show stopper if this ability is missing in a file manager.
Would like to have a file manager with more features than the Windows File Explorer.
Directory Opus is a good candidate which I may get on the next sale.
Edit:
Sage Thumbs will not work on Windows 10 it seems.
IIRC I had this installed more than ten years ago to be able to view PSD images.

You probably already know about this one but I'll drop this here just in case it may be of use for someone else...

Thanks. No I was not aware of this image viewer
What I want is a file manager that has the capability to view PSD thumbnails and the full image.
But can live without one.

IIRC theres quite bit of custome settings available so it may in best case scenario end up being close to what you want... as default F11 is fullscreen mode and you get a thumbnails preview sideways scrollable with mousewheel at the top... it's show/hide by "mouse over" at the top edge..

I use led lights in the "studio". They enhance how my computer looks. No the led lights are not in the computer, they are on the table
