    • Discontinued An application with last real change in July 12 (quick fix in Dec 12) really seems to be discontinued. The application was well working - but with NO feature update in almost 21/2 years I feel sorry for the 25$ I spent. Many parts of the application need a makeover - the graphics too. The modern logo they present on the product site is only there, the graphics of the app is from last millenium almost. More than 2 years ZERO maintenance - a pity.Please mark this app as discontinued - eventhough Code Sector still sells it. same price. a pity too.

I tried DirectFolders but the free version is not as good as FileBox Extender. Although I do like the middle-click thing and no extra buttons on the window bar...

What I miss in FileBox Extender: custom icons don't work for me, and it's not a portable application.
