Listary vs Default Folder X opinions
Listery is small and fast. And it has the feature I wanted most, one that Listery calls Quick Switch. You go to open or save a file, and see the standard File Dialog Box. Click on an open Explorer Window, and then back to the file dialog box. The file dialog is now in the same folder as the Explorer window you clicked on. This is a huge timesaver for me, and the feature I most wanted. - RecentX is an innovative launcher that gives you instant access to your files, folders, programs, websites & clipboard history. It automatically remembers your favorite & recent items so that you can launch them even faster.
- FlashFolder is an open source tool that extends the file-related common dialogs (e.g. open/save dialog) seen in most Windows applications. A small toolbar docks onto these dialogs that provides menus for quick access to recently-used folders, favorite folders and more.
