Title: Adding support for other non-windows filesystems? (ext2/3/4/HFS/etc)
Post by: Mizuki on January 18, 2021, 14:32:25
There are a few softwares with support for those filesystems out there, like Linux Reader (https://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/) or ext2fsd (http://www.ext2fsd.com/).

That would require lots of work very for very little gain. And since my time is limited this is not something I can spend time one.
However the API/SDK for creating file system plugins are open. So if anyone what to do it. fell free.

But is there not ext2/3/4 drivers for windows so you get direct support reading them via Windows ? I remember using something like that long ago.

I can only recommend, if someone uses Linux, to use Btrfs as default file system.

There is a Btrfs driver for Windows. So I can copy my files and folders that I created on Linux to Windows with Multi Commander.
