Explorer++ is now open source

Post by David Erceg » Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:23 pm
Hi everyone,

I'm glad to announce today that the Explorer++ source code has been released under the GNU GPLv3 license. A major factor in my decision to release the code was the desire to have input from other programmers, which I hope will lead to increased quality and shorter release times for Explorer++. The source code is available from SourceForge.

Extremely slow when switching between folders. There's always a delay.
