What's the deal with having an e-mail account to register the app? Is it just that I don't understand the wording?
I mean it's usual for an application to be bought through some vendor, but it appears that QSpace wants me to have an account somewhere (at Qspace?) to be able to register and buy.
There's an Account button in the first launch window too.
It looks like a wonderful application with small fun things; like a thumbnail view for icons view. Similar to that of Windows which gives a small preview of the contents of the folder.
I haven't heard of losing orders in any sense - I guess it's just me not being fully capable in the head to understand what the actual meaning is. Yet another account to use.
edit : Wait, I think I get the gist of this wording.. one buys through Mac App Store first and then just 'binds' or whatever.. I'm so effing dumb..
Must mean that I'm ready to buy this app with all that it entails when I ask this many questions; manic comments

Yeah, I figured it could be about linking/binding purchases. I'll wait around and buy it soon, if not for anything than to have it in my arsenal of apps.You only need to bind the accounts if you've bought on MAS already, and want to use that purchase to activate QSPro – that is, you don't want to buy QS twice!
If not, you can buy QSPro with an AliPay or WeChatPay account – not sure how useful that is for users outside China.
Though... looking at the wording of that screenshot you posted, maybe it's only asking for an email because QSPro is activated by tallying email addresses on the payment processor and app... just a guess, I don't know for sure.
I've used Crossover for many different apps, but I'd never use it to run a native Windows file manager on a non-Windows machine. That seems like it's asking for trouble. I also have a Windows VM running on Parallels, but when I'm on the VM I don't do file operations outside of the VM even though Parallels does permit access to matrix file systems (i.e., files outside the virtual machine).No.. Crossover utilizes WINE architecture.. Can run _most_ Windows software without Windows installed.
I think dbrewood has become a file manager addict. I've been through this, too, especially when my main OS was Linux. It's fun to test different approaches to file management, and it helps others when you can provide a basis for comparison. Go for it, dbrewood!How many Finder replacements are you using? lol
The red closes the window. It’s contents are dropped. The yellow just minimizes the window. Stay way from the green button, it will send you to a weird matrix place.True in some cases. For many apps, I don't see an appreciable difference between the effect of the red and yellow stoplights. Some apps will close out with the red button, but many just shrink away into the dock - the exact same function as one gets with the yellow button. YMMV.
The green button goes full screen and leaves you in a panic to find where the red/yellow/green buttons have gone, maximises, or reverts to a previous size - there's probably some logic to which of these will happen, but I haven't worked it out.The red closes the window.

Closing windows usually does not close the app unless the app was specially coded to work that way. Just use CMD-Q to quit apps.

I'd sell my wife for a Mac port of Opus.Windows has Directory Opus as a magnificent Explorer replacement I keep trying to get them to consider a Mac port with no success...
I have dabbled with Finder alternatives for years. The one I like the most: QSpace ProI've never been that keen on Finder, having been a Windows user for most of my life. I notice there are a few pimped up alternatives to Finder on the market.
What is the best Finder alternative? Are they indeed better than Finder?
I just took a look at it. One thing it doesn't do, which Finder and PathFinder do, is remember the tree expansion state for every folder. This is critical for the way I work.I have dabbled with Finder alternatives for years. The one I like the most: QSpace Pro

QSpace doesn't seem to do that. Am I missing something? Perhaps there's a setting that I'm not aware of.
I use Path Finder, but it drives me crazy. It is very bad at window geometry. It's constantly restoring crazy window dimensions in dual pane mode. I've posted in their forum and they don't respond. They have many bugs reported and not enough support people to address issues. I think they only have one support person looking at the forum.what your finder replacement of choice?

I also use Forklift. But, it has the same deficit that QSpace has; it doesn't remember expansion state. I've written them and they've added it to the list of feature requests for the next version. Forklift is less buggy (I've not encountered any bugs) than Path Finder (I've encountered many bugs). But, Path Finder does much more than Forklift and I use it much more than I use Forklift.
"expansion state"?I also use Forklift. But, it has the same deficit that QSpace has; it doesn't remember expansion state.
Got to agree on that. I have both and keep going back to Forklift.Can you name a few things that Path Finder does more than ForkLift (that you use)? I absolutely loathe Path Finder.
I kicked Path Finder to the curb a few years ago when they trumped their crappy support with a quasi-subscription pricing model. Been using ForkLift ever since. No going back for me.Can you name a few things that Path Finder does more than ForkLift (that you use)? I absolutely loathe Path Finder.
Oh sorry."expansion state"?
