For the Filelist thing I prefer CLI tools generally (and all the export formats I've seen in the features seem perfectly doable through them); but your answer about XNViewMP definitely has merits, thanks ! I'll take a look at it

Can the Filelist alternative do things like drag drop files and folders quickly, or toggle column attributes, change byte units and other things? You could try it to see functionality differences. Because I think things like file management and manipulation is better served with GUI than TUI/CLI, but its your choice.
