v1.1.0-Pre — out now!
Rain Explorer is my take on a file manager that's actually nice to use — fast, clean, and with the same glassy look as everything else on Sail Hub. v1.1.0-Pre is out with a big stack of new features, and it's now fully self-contained — no .NET install needed.
The core features in v1.1.0-Pre, with more on the way.
Jump between folders instantly — snappy loading, keyboard shortcuts, real Windows file icons, and a clean breadcrumb path that stays out of your way.
Open a bunch of folders in tabs at once, so you can drag stuff around and compare things without losing your spot.
Hit Ctrl+F and find files as you type, with a subfolder toggle for when you need to dig deeper. No slow index to wait on.
Peek at images, text and more right inside the window — no need to open a whole other app just to see what something is.
Pin your favourite folders into custom lists, drag them into the order you want, and collapse sections that remember their state.
Open .rar, .7z, .tar, .gz and .bz2 archives right in the app — plus jump straight to cmd, PowerShell or bash from the address bar.
Where it's at right now and what I've still gotta do.
The foundation — browsing, navigation, and the glassy interface.
Open multiple folders at once and drag stuff between them without losing your spot.
A set of built-in themes to change the look of the app.
Out on GitHub and updated through v1.1.0-Pre, with the full repo open source.
Ctrl+F search with a subfolder toggle, shipped in v1.1.0-Pre.
Pinned folder lists, collapsible sections, archive support and terminal access — all new in v1.1.0-Pre.
The .NET runtime is now bundled, so it runs on any compatible Windows machine — no separate install needed.
Inline previews for images, text, and more without leaving the window.
Full theme editor and support for custom user-made themes.
The latest build of Rain Explorer is live on GitHub — a big round of new features and fixes, now fully self-contained. It's still a pre-release so expect rough edges, but go give it a spin and let me know what's broken!
