WinFile is a dual-pane file manager for Windows designed as a keyboard-driven file explorer. It provides a classical interface for organizing and managing files and directories through a navigation system focused on keyboard shortcuts and partial path jumping.
The application functions as a symbolic link manager, enabling the creation of symbolic links, hardlinks, and junctions via drag-and-drop operations using modifier keys. It also serves as a workspace manager that launches external tools, such as elevated shells and text editors, directly within the currently active directory.
Additional capabilities include local file searching based on name and date filters and the ability to switch between logical disk drives. User preferences, such as default editor paths and navigation shortcuts, are managed through an initialization file.
