What is Q-Dir?
Q-Dir puts up to four folder views in one Windows application, with tabs inside each pane. It suits moving files between drives or keeping local and network folders visible together without opening several File Explorer windows. Familiar drag-and-drop and clipboard operations handle copying and moving, while favorites reopen folder combinations you use regularly.
Color filters distinguish file types, and file lists can be exported to XLS, CSV, TXT or HTML. The publisher offers both installed and portable editions; the linked download here is the portable x64 ZIP package.
The classic interface can feel crowded when several panes, tabs and toolbars are visible. Choose a simpler layout if you only need one folder at a time. The gallery image shows an older Q-Dir 7.25 interface, not a capture of version 12.82.
What it offers
- Keep up to four folder panes open, with tabs for additional locations.
- Copy and move files using drag-and-drop or the clipboard between folder views.
- Save folder combinations as favorites for repeat tasks.
- Distinguish file types with color filters and export file lists to XLS, CSV, TXT or HTML.
- Use a portable edition without a full installation.
Good to know
- The classic multi-pane interface can feel dense; it is less suited to users seeking a minimal file browser.
- This download is the x64 portable package; the publisher supplies separate packages for other Windows architectures and installation preferences.
