Sorry, should have specified...I don't use winblows that much, I would Like those
features on Linux.
think i installed something old on some operating system and it blew up when I exceed some
max for the old system. long filenames, or special characters in filenames, or something.
maybe that would be fixed now.
3. file manager had features I maybe could find
now but have not, such as --
tiling *or* cascading several directories, and dragging files from one to another,
harder to set up with tabs or multiple instances of file manager.
--(maybe its fond memories, but I think I could) select several files and sort ONLY
THEM, leaving the others unmoved, --sort on file extension, --sort with
wildcards (probably can, just my ignorance?) --show date and time even for not
the last 24 hour files (I think I did find such a file manager, but it lacked some
other critical functions, or crashed all the time.
You can still install the old File Manager
https://github.com/Microsoft/winfile/releases
You can use the corner dock to get four explorer windows
two really big plusses afaik only in linux:
--I can expand a subdirectory now without jumping completely to it, which win
3.1 could not do --also like that when attaching to an email, or opening, I can
select from "recently used"
You can have Multiple Desktops ...
I have multiple desktops, but they are all the same UI. my "wish" was to have
different UIs on different desktops, a big order, I realize, it requires some underlying
shared tool kit and being friendly with each other.
