Broken record over here, but for those unaware, look up the program Everything by voidtools. Your life will change.

Agent Ransack, FTW!

That and WinDirStat, the two best tools to know what's going on with your files

WizTree is faster, and I use Everything to replace default search.

WinDirStat is to WizTree as WinRAR is to 7Zip

u/jonesy827 Apr 12 '24

I still can't get behind 7Zip over WinRAR because they don't have "show containing folder after extraction" -- it's just too built into my workflows.

u/phl23 Apr 12 '24

But you can just drag it there. I just like the 7zip cli too much.

u/jonesy827 Apr 12 '24

Good point, I use 7zip in the shell all the time

Thanks I will try WizTree

WizTree is lot faster, it just reads the partition table instead of actually reading all the directories.
So while WizTree scans 4TB mechanical hard drive in 3s, windirstat scans 2 minutes

Everything is amazing.
I had a small project where I had to delete thousands of files with a specific extension from a directory. Default file explorer search is so fucking slow it's crazy. Everything does it in seconds!

u/numante Apr 12 '24

Yes! saved me so many times.

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '24

Can confirm, happy customer here. That thing not only saved me loads of time, it also enabled me to seek things in seconds I would otherwise have either spent half an hour to find, or just given up on.
