Immersive Explorer是法国开发者jmanici 开发的一款Metro风格的资源管理器，基于 Win32/.NET/WPF，这是一款非常有意思的资源管理器软件， 该软件的目标是给用户提供一个非常棒的体验，将用户的注意力转移到内容上。它会让用户在切换多窗口时，使用更少的时间打开不同的程序，节省更多的时间。该 软件并非基于WinRT，所以，它无法支持windows RT设备，但是这不会影响它工作在windows 8的平板设备上。从1.0开始源代码同时发布，源代码下载地址：http://www.julien- manici.com/immersive_explorer/open_source/ 中国用户可以通过微博和QQ向jmanici发送反馈。 软件截图：
附英文介绍： Immersive Explorer is an open source alternative to the default file explorer included in Windows (known as Windows Explorer). It is designed to provide an “immersive” experience to the user by focusing on the content rather than hiding it behind icons and large window chrome and borders. It allows the user to avoid opening different applications and switching between multiple windows when doing tasks as simple as viewing a picture, thanks to the built-in viewer.
Although it is not a Windows 8 “Metro application”, Immersive Explorer is designed around the “Metro” user interface guidelines. It is optimized for tablets and computers with touch-screens, but it also offers a great experience for mouse/keyboard users (with features like scroll-to-zoom, keyboard navigation).
Immersive Explorer is based on Win32/.NET/WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). It uses graphical hardware acceleration to display fluid animations and transitions, making it look more modern than the default Windows File Explorer. Note that it’s not a complete replacement for the Windows Shell (it’s just an alternative to the Windows Explorer) and it doesn’t even need administrator rights to be installed.
As Immersive Explorer is not based on WinRT, it means that it can’t run on Windows RT devices such as Surface RT (but it works great on Windows 8/8.1 tablets like Surface Pro).
