Features
NFE is focused on a custom Explorer-style workflow while staying modular enough for future file tools and UI upgrades.
Tabbed browsing
Open multiple folders in tabs, keep different project folders available, and browse without spawning many Explorer windows.
View modes
Switch between details/list/icon-style views and use a layout that fits the folder you are browsing.
Drive + device pages
This PC gives drive tiles, capacity information, removable drive handling, and portable device access.
Archive tooling
Bundled 7-Zip runtime and feature DLLs support update package extraction and archive workflows.
Updater and repair
Separate updater executable with logs, rollback storage, package preview, cache cleanup, and Win32 repair fallback.
SaveData structure
Settings and updater preferences are stored under resources/SaveData, keeping the runtime layout easy to inspect.
