Banner File Manager 1.0.0 — the first public stable release.

A native Windows file manager for Bannerlator containers, forked from the Winlator File Manager by BrunoSX (MIT).

Highlights

  • Dual-pane split view (View ▸ Split View) — two independent panes, active one highlighted, per-pane path bars, copy between panes.
  • File actions — Open as administrator, Open with ▸ (registered apps + Choose another program), Properties dialog.
  • Quality of life — keyboard shortcuts (F2/Del/F5/F6/Backspace/Enter/Ctrl+C·X·V·A), Show Hidden Files, byte-accurate copy progress bar with cancel, status-bar total size.
  • Reliability — copy/move/delete via native Win32 APIs instead of shell32 SHFileOperation, sidestepping the Wine shell32 copy-paste crash on Proton 10.0-4.
  • Light + dark theme — follows the container theme; controls Wine renders light regardless (header, status bar, search field, address-bar buttons) are owner-drawn to match, and re-color on a live theme switch.

Compatibility

Universal x86-64 build — runs natively under Box64, via wowbox64 in arm64ec containers, and under FEXCore. No arch-specific code.

Install

Place wfm.exe and libcdio.dll (needed for ISO mounting) together in a container's C:\windows\.
