Is there a light weight video player with instant file management options?

I recieved the video archives of all file types of my relatives to sort, edit and make a family documentary. Thousands and thousands of files to go through and it is intimidating. I need to fast preview each file and move to a related folder or delete them.

I normally use vlc to watch videos but it does not allow me move /delete files while watching the video. Opening each file one at a time, close and move/delete is not very feasible and time consuming.

When open a folder with Windows Photos I can delete the file on display with simple delete key stroke or move it with right click menu but fast viewing the videos with Photos is not fluid.

In early 2000's i was using ACDSEE photo editor which had inbuilt file manager. When you select a file to edit, it opens it in editor mode with also allows to delete/move/save as while viewing the file. You can move to next file withouth going back to file manager. Video viewing is much better than Windows Photos app. I tried the newer version of ACDSEE. Same functionality remains but it is very resource hungry, especially when i open a folder with lots of files.

So can you recommend a video player or any app that can allow me to do the choir fast.

I use windows 10.

Thanks

How to restore serrated (Ikea 365+) bread knife

We have three bread knives. A Miracle blade (bought 25 years ago via TV commercial), A local custom made one and this Ikea 365+ bread knife.

First two cuts beatifully and i only occationally strobe them. Although i was happy with them, I want to buy the Ikea one during a homemade sourdough bread frenzy during pandemic.

Right out of the box the teeth of the knife were too long spikey like a shark jaws. for the first month it cut very well but then those spike teeth become rounder. A few months later it became dull and start crushing instead of cutting. My usual strobing did not worked. I tried to to sharpen each scallop with diamond pin files. I started with the extra fine grit to be gentle. Did not help. I moved up one by one up to coarse grit. Once I saw removal of the steel, I went back to conventional coarse to finer grit then strob routine. Altough each individual scallop feel sharp and able to cut paper, the knife still can not cut bread without stucking and crumbling. Also It seems like the teeth are not at same height either, which might be the reason for stucking.

Leveling teeth with blunting it first then recarving the scallops may help but I am not a pro sharpener and i have neither have tools nor skill for a full restoration. My knives and my wife's knives are separate as she likes smaller and duller knives. If I can restore this one to a usuable level I will give it to her.
