TRUE 4-PANE EXPLORER (A, B, C, D)
• Four live independent file panes with instant Layout Switcher: 2x2 Grid,
4 Vertical Columns, 4 Horizontal Rows, and 1 Big + 3 Side.
• Each pane provides its own real path bar, Back/Up/Home navigation history,
live search filter, real file metadata (Name, Size, Modified, Type), and
one-click Copy/Move Selected -> Pane A / B / C / D, New Folder, Rename,
Delete, and Refresh All 4.

QUAD FAVORITES & SYNC COMPARE
• Save and restore Quad Layout Bookmarks storing all four folder paths
(A+B+C+D) and active grid mode simultaneously.
• Compare files across Pane A vs Panes B, C, and D with live status badges
and real disk sync actions.

COLOR EXTENSION RULES & EXPORT
• Customize extension glob color filter rules (e.g. *.png;*.jpg, *.pdf;*.md,
*.zip;*.tar.gz) applied live across all four panes.
• Export real directory listings from any pane as CSV, TXT, or HTML.
