Best Finder alternative

I have no idea why a Finder window and the QSpace preferences window open when you click on search in QSpace. I hope someone else has some explanation.
When I click on the search magnifying glass, the search window pops up. Neither of the screenshots you posted is that window. Here is the window I see after clicking...
this is the window behind the finder one. Have you set somewhere that qspace replaces Finder?
It's almost as if
I wonder if "Show in Finder" is being triggered. I did a test and assigned Command-F to that, but leaving it still assigned to search. I was curious if both things would be triggered; they weren't. Only the "Show in Finder" was triggered.
I really don't know what's happening with you. Have you played with the settings much?

I don't know if Folders File Manager has been mentioned previously, but I just came across it. I know a lot of Windows users really want the tree-style file manager in macOS and this app gives it to them. It's pretty basic, but functional.

Is there a setting in QSpace to allow multiple (concurrent) file operations? Trying to copy several folders across drives and it seems to be only able to do one folder at a time. Anyone found a setting?

Sorry... edited my original post... I'm in QSpace... and I selected 4 folders and dragged them to another drive... looks like it copies them top-down on the list, serially.
yes, but if you select one folder and copy that, and while it copies that one folder you select the next folder and drag it over, it will start that second copy immediately.
Found it - in the qspace search window I had To set global ok any Oher folder To Look in. That Field was empty. Now that it says global finder is Not being called anymore
I think I understand what you're saying. The Finder window you were getting was just QSpace prompting you to choose a folder for the search.
That seems like a significant limitation. Any chance you can report it to them?
Yes, QSpace for me too 👍
I’m working on QSpace Italian translation that will be available soon 😀
Good news that. One other things to consider is that it is regularly updated with bugs being fixed and new features added.
May I ask which advantages you found in Qspace over Forklift? I am between these two. If you already mentioned this I am sorry I missed it.
