Magellan Explorer Improvements Everywhere You Look Douglas Smith
Improved performance!
Copy and Move functions are now up to twice as fast as "Windows Explorer" and previous versions of Magellan Explorer. It doesn't stop there; the Find tool is up to 10 times faster than before. This is made possible by taking advantage of advanced file technology such as overlapped I/O (NT only) and Non-Buffered I/O. The latter enables Magellan Explorer to bypass the file system cache and read and write directly to memory.
Improved archive management!
Magellan's compressed archive client now has support for more formats, features and options, including:
· Magellan Explorer can now be associated with supported archives · Internal CAB, ARJ, and LHA support · Archive-to-Archive copy · Archive in treeview as folders · Auto-Update of files inside archives (repacks changed files) · Rename, New folder, and Edit functions now work inside archives · Improved creation of archives
Improved FTP support!
As with the compressed archive client, Magellan's FTP support sports many new features and options, such as:
· Archive-to-FTP and FTP-to-Archive copy · Direct FTP to FTP transfers (FXP) · Treeview available on FTP sites as well · Auto-Update of files on FTP sites (uploads changed files) · Faster FTP login and navigation · Force uppercase/lowercase on uploads · Detects overwrites and updates the folder window on upload · Clipboard URL monitoring · Proxy authentication support · Folder windows are never locked when transferring files

· 100+ configuration options, allowing you to customize it to suit your needs · Special folders such as the Control Panel can now be opened · Large Icons, Small Icons, List and Explorer style Details views · Spring-loaded folders · Copy/Cut/Paste available via Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V keystrokes · Single-click (QuickEdit) rename in some selection modes · QuickParent - Click on the frame of the window to go up · Back and Forward are now available from the QuickBar · Magellan Explorer can display true filenames · Keyboard shortcuts can be displayed on the Button Panel · Option to move the status bar to the bottom of the window · Option to include Magellan Explorer in right-click context menus · Full path in titlebar · My Computer customization · Button Panel can be turned completely off · Configuration Wizard to guide new users
