Features:
- Macintosh Explorer In Action: The first ever tabbed file browser for the Mac. Complete with the favorites shelf for commonly used files and applications, fast file searching from within each Explorer window and contextual menus to quickly perform various actions on selected files.
- Picture Previews as you Browse: No more generic icons when what you really want to see is the actual picture file. Macintosh Explorer is the first Macintosh File Browser to offer Thumbnail file browsing. Quickly locate the pictures you are looking for in a large list of files.
- Find Anything You Need: With access to the same search capabilities as Sherlock right from within Macintosh Explorer's main window, you can locate exactly what you are looking for without relying on third party applications or cluttering your desktop with more windows. You won't even disturb your current file location.
- Customized to the Way you Want: Choose between FIVE different file views including icon view, list view, detailed list view,compact list view and even Thumbnail view. Flavors let you further customize Macintosh Explorer to match your desired tastes.
- Treat Multiple Files as One with File Banks: Move, copy and store multiple files as one with File Banks. File Banks will store a pile of files so that a drag and drop operation can be posed while you navigate to a destination directory or if you just want to conveniently move multiple files as one pile of files.
- Change Info For Multiple Files At Once: Batch change file info for multiple files at once with Macintosh Explorer's Batch File Info Changer. Just enter some new information for the selected files, or even all files or folders within the current folder, and Macintosh Explorer will update all the specified files with the new file info.

Downside they never update it which tells me sales are bad and finder is instantly a hit with new users these days.
Perhaps to niche to do well on OSX but it still works fine even if not updated for a long time.

The name "Macintosh Explorer" is too coincidental with "Microsoft Explorer," and "Microsoft Internet Explorer."
Mac users choose Macs over the [IBM]PC Industry Standard from a position of intelligence, and to have excellence in computing that goes way above and beyond the de-facto "industry standard." Likewise, many Mac users (myself included) prefer to distance ourselves from Microsoft and Microsoft software titles.
There are some who may rightfully disagree, but Microsoft has been our adversary for many years where Microsoft enjoys at least 95% of the market share, yet we, the Macintosh community, beat them down consistently with vastly superior software.
The software title, "Macintosh Explorer" conveys too much (imho) of a reminder of the overbearing presence of "the dark side of computing."
It's difficult to discern why a software developer would choose such a title when thousands of other excellent possibilities are readily available.
Cheers.

Same about Outlook Express. It was a really great and intuitive mail client with truly Mac spirit. Right now I'm using Microsoft Entourage as my mail client - gave up on Apple's own Mail long time ago. To me, Entourage is way more intuitive, user friendly and Mac-like than Mail.
I didn't try Macintosh Explorer yet, but the word 'Explorer' actually makes me want to try it.

In addition, Microsoft was one of the first -if not the first- developers for the Apple platform. Excel was originally made for Apple and it was later made for PCs.

You're right, I was out of line; shouldn't have used this website to post off topic opinions. Apologies to the software developer. I tried to edit it back out but the website won't allow; so I get what I deserve on this. Won't happen again.
Product is super useful for those of us who like the folder / list display. Just wish it wasn't slow to respond.

By the way, it's been in this messed up beta state for years now, with the next update always being promised to be coming out "soon". The last time I read any word from the developer on the product was at least a year ago, which I think officially makes this abandonware... It's all the more insulting because they repeatedly boast on their website about how great their support is and how often they update their products. They should either stop charging people for it or open-source it... but the way they're going about it now is just disingenuous.
