Filezo 6 is a major update to RecentX (former name) for Windows. This version comes with many new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

Also we have removed the websites and clipboard history features from the new version. Websites history can directly be accessed from your Internet browser (Ctrl+H keys). And Clipboard history is already part of Windows OS (Win+V keys).

Upgrading: If you have RecentX installed on your system, Filezo will automatically import tags from it. If you are a registered user of RecentX, you can upgrade to Filezo 6 at a discounted price.

Below is a summary of the most significant changes in this version.

Better, flexible search capabilities

  • Prefix \ to search by file/folder address.
  • Prefix # to search by tags.
  • Use * or ? for wildcard search.
  • Prefix - to exclude keyword.
  • Prefix : to search inside a note/comment.

Automatic and handy integration with File open/save window

In the new version, a compact version of Filezo window appears automatically with the File open/save window, letting you easily select a file or jump to a folder without tedious hierarchical browsing.

Search results are cleaner, more stable with improved performance

By default Filezo doesn't list system and hidden files/folders. You can change this behavior in settings. More relevant results are shown on top for a faster pick. Filezo is able to handle large result set. And the performance impact on the system is much lesser than the previous versions.


Hierarchical tags

Now you can extend your file tagging system using the new hierarchical tags. Work with hundreds of searchable tags.

Share tagged files/folders with others

When you share tagged files and folders over network with other users, they will automatically have access to those tagged files/folders using Filezo running on their Windows PC.

Add a note/comment to any file or folder in Windows

You can now add a note/comment to any file or folder in Filezo without modifying the file or folder. The note will stick to the file/folder even if you move or rename the file/folder. Works seamlessly on NTFS file system. Works on FAT32 or other file system too with additional care.

Browse folders like any other File Manager

Use the new Browse tab to browse the contents of any folder. This is useful when you wish to review the tagged files/folders inside a specific folder. Or tag them together at once.

Tags and notes retained

The tags and notes are retained even if you move the associated files and folders to another location. They will stay intact even if you uninstall and re-install Filezo with fresh index data.

This works seamlessly on NTFS file systems. On FAT32 and other file systems, it requires you to move the containing folder too in order to retain the tags and notes.


Replace the default previewer

To preview many more types of files, you can replace the default previewer with other third-party previewers like QuickLook for Windows. Just download the portable version of QuickLook and update Filezo's settings (Advanced section).

Remembers recent search keywords

Pick from recently used search keywords instead of typing everything again.

Customer Reviews

I was using "EVERYTHING" windows search software. Filezo is better than that. Notezilla is also an excellent software. I pray God to give you more strength to develop more such type of softwares.
