KO APPROACH Alternatives

KO APPROACH

Scoopy quick inside manipulation of windows folders with excessive (optional?) features but useful preview on paid version. The website is up to date (Nov 2018).

The free limit-ware version comes with limits:
- 4 menus can be created at maximum;
- Not more than 2 program features can be activated at a time;
- The number of installed plug-ins is limited to 2

Strong Windows alternative to MAC folder glance and finderpop.
Also consider interesting abandonware Power Drawers and Fast Folders. These product sites appear untouched from 2003 / XP.

I used Approach a few days and it's a keeper. Curious though on a couple of points - the big issue is with lack of drag and drop into a directory folder. You can drag and drop out, but not in. You can, however, copy and paste in or in-between. This isn't mentioned in the documentation. Definitely a gem in the rough.
