Old timer here, faithful to what I use when it works. So my file manager of choice was X-PLORE until now.
It was simple and efficient when it came out. Now it's "totally" bloated pun intended
- Last week I made the switch from Servant Salamander to TC on my PC;
- Yesterday, lazy me, I candidly ask without checking if I could use one of my PC license to run full fledged TC on Android; No need, TC is Free.
- Today I installed TC on one of my Android device;
- Look nice but there is no LAN option... Wait... There IS a plugin for that... And it WORKS;
- Toyed with the product few minutes - It's slick, it's simple, it works and it isn't bloated...
- WAOW! Bravo @Christian Ghisler and team
Confession: I work in a relatively tight corporate environment. Until recently benign non certified portable software were tolerated on desktops.
But we deployed a strict app control tool early this year. It didn't take long for me to get a popup "Software POLICY Violation" when I clicked on my Servant Salamander icon. Then the same popup with Everything. CRAP. Few minutes later, I got a call from the incident handling team.
"Hello sir, have you read your acceptable use of technology policy recently? Take these two things out of your computer. You will not get a second warning. And oh btw, did you know we certified TC and FileLocator Pro?"
No sir, Yes sir, I will take them out right now and fill the form to get TC and FL installed. Thank you for your service sir. LOL
Following this, I told myself. Why not make the move at home as well. So I bought my TC licenses. I kept Everything at home though. FileLocator Pro is heavy, slow and unstable.
OMG where have you been all this time?

Thanks for your interesting feedback! Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to control FileLocator Pro like "Everything".

I don't mind TC not controlling FL. I would not even ask for it in a feature request/suggestion.
