XYPlorer is cool, but one problem is that it’s an old 32bit VB6 application, and it is questionable how long VB6 will be supported - it’s kind of a dead end. Two years ago, the author had planned to modernize and migrate everythign to a 64bit .NET programming language, but after a few months dropped the plan because it seemed not doable for him.

I’ve been using Total Commander for many years, and it was good enough for me. I’ve dowloaded a trial version now, and have to say, that XYPlorer is much superior to TC.
However, there is a one problem: drag and drop from outside XYPlorer does not work in Windows 11. I’m using drag and drop toolbar for win11 (as this feature is no longer native) and XYPlorer icon is not visible in it.

I remember looking at xyplorer a while back and I think maybe I liked the ways it handled photos. I can’t remember now what made it different in that respect. I’m thinking on starting a big family history project and should maybe look at it again.
