PCWorld: PowerDesk Pro – A Better Windows Explorer
PC World’s Preston Gralla says PowerDesk Pro does “a supremely better job than Windows Explorer.” Price: $40, free to try.
“Looking for a better way to manage files and your hard disk than Windows Explorer? Then give PowerDesk 8 Professional ($40, 14-day free trial) a look. This exceedingly powerful program does a supremely better job than Windows Explorer, with tools for everything from finding files, synchronizing files and folders, to previewing files, sending and receiving files via FTP and more.
For a start, you get two panes rather than one, unlike Windows Explorer, so that it’s easy to copy and transfer files among different folders, and even among different computers on your network. That’s just the beginning, though. PowerDesk Professional also features an excellent media viewer that does just more than preview media. You can also zoom in and out, rotate pictures. Better yet, you can also convert a picture to a different format.”
