What are breadcrumbs in this context??
I find myself discovering new features in Speedcommander every day as well
(more or less). Recommending it is hard not to, especially if we're talking the
x64-version and most especially since I actually bought it. 8-) As this is the
only file manager I know of that runs natively in a x64-environment you're
kinda' set. 8-)
Check this one out for a Windows Explorer-lookalike setting for Speedcommander:

Personally I have SC set so that the right window pane is 75% of the total
width, with with a drive-tree (Ctrl-B) and the left pane is a regular
drive-view. It's an "almost" Windows Explorer-lookalike. Like so:

I’ve been using the xplorer2 program, and it’s alright. It’s hard to get in
the habit of not using Windows Explorer. The explorer2 has often been a bit
too hardcore though. I basically want Windows Explorer with a keyboard
shortcut for a new folder, tabs, breadcrumbs, and perhaps a few paste-special
features. The xplorer2 has a pretty big learning curve! I have 2 days left on
my trial, and I probably will buy it. I’d rather have something that has more
features than I’ll probably use than not enough. Chances are if I do make the
switch and get used to it, I will find myself discovering uses for the features
that I think I won’t use today.
Of course, I just looked at the Speedcommander program, and it looks kinda
nice. J

Did you ever find a suitable file manager?
I actually found one (Speedcommander) that runs natively under x64-windows.
DOwnside is it's payware and quite pricey at that, but I bought it anyway...
8-) There are so few good x64-software out there for windows...
I've tried the same file manager but in a 32b windows environment and can only
say this one is a lot slower and more sluggish than the x64-version.
