I love Salamander I'd used it for many many year bought it in the past several time :D
I could not thanks enough their creators for this tools I'm using everyday

As other I was sad the open source version did not have more traction, even if in the last weeks there is wonderful work from 0xeb to modernize it

So I decide to start something new and crazy, rewrite everything in modern C++ and modern dependencies on Windows
You could find in the GitHub and alpha version
If you are crazy enough to try it, any feedback is welcome
the doc is there https://github.com/RedSalamanders/RedSa ... /main/Docs

you could have:
- theming
- long path support
- Unicode support
- FTP/SFTP/SCP/S3/IMAP support
- view picture and Raw picture
- ....

of course still a lost of feature missing and a lot of polish needed, don't have to high expectation yet 8)
