XCruiser, the strnagest, most interesting File Manager/Viewer ever.

http://xcruiser.sourceforge.net/

Quote:
XCruiser, formerly known as XCruise, is a filesystem visualization utility. It constructs a virtually 3-D formed universe from a directory tree and allows you to "cruise" within a visualized filesystem.

The original idea came to me when I was a university student. I heard that tree-like filesystems are not necessarily best for us since we often remember the location of objects with spatial hints. I was inspired by this idea and developed XCruiser. I wish that someone create more user-friendly interfaces based on this program.


It's not perfect, but it's an extrememly interesting way to look at your filesystem. Handles symlinks very well IMHO.

Interesting find. Smile file light is another off-beat one.

I tried that old 3D file manager for Windows a while back.
I did not like it.
Don't think I will try it in Linux either. LOL
