That would make thing soooo easy to copy, move and possibly rename a whole sequence. So basically, file.1.jpg, file.2.jpg, etc. would appear as: file.[1-500].jpg and hopefully I can drag and drop this one item into a new location to copy/paste instead of scrolling around and selecting files.

It definitely improve browsing by using tabs & shortcuts: CTRL+Home to get new tab. CTRL+1... to go to your predefined folder. CTRL+Q to get a preview of the current file. CTRL+O to get an extra panel (independent tabs in each panel) I haven't tried and think may not need the other features listed here, but maybe the "paste pause/resume" feature could be useful. Tabs... why this feature have not been implemented in Windows Explorer??? that is my big question. Great post!

QT's best feature I think is the thumbnail previews of images, something that is missing in XP that should be there. Teracopy works faster than windows copying for large files as it 'adds up' the file sizes faster than windows (the forever "preparing to copy" window is no more for me. I have launchy but haven't really gotten into it yet, might try keybreeze and see if it's any good. Odd that AVG would flag Drive icon as I have it and got no prompts or anything. I have an older version that I believe just does registry edits.
