Final Beta (Jul 4, 2008)
I didn't think I'd want to pay for an office suite with OpenOffice around, but SoftMaker have made a great product! The compatibility with MSOffice is excellent, which is important to me, and a reason why I've been looking for something else than OOO. It is also a very quick office suite. The applications start pretty much instantly, something which unfortunately cannot be said of OpenOffice (which certainly has other advantages).
There are some things which can still use some improvement, but overall I'm very happy with my purchase!
FYI: SoftMaker also provide a very good academic licensing.
4.10.2 (May 2, 2007)
New version 5 is out, with some limited new features that apparently justifies it being a major update. (Box Set support... barely, and support for episodes of tv shows, also just barely).
Unfortunately the company has also suddenly decided to make customers pay for major upgrades.
That said, Movie Collector is a good application, but I'm one of several users disappointed by the lackluster latest version and their changed upgrade policy. I recommend you to use the trial and see if for instance lack of multi-disc support and box set details is of importance for you. If not, you'll be quite happy with Movie Collector!
0.33 (Apr 30, 2007)
Great, small sync tool for those basic synchronization jobs. I use it to sync some files to and from my USB Pen Drive. Does everything I need.
1.0.2 (Apr 25, 2007)
This was a big fave of mine, especially when new betas arrived with tons of great features. Too bad development stopped, or this would definitely be my no1 dvd collector app.
7.0.219.389 (Apr 14, 2007)
Great backup tool. Does everything I need. I'm not too fond of the interface (hence the rating '4'), tbh, other backup tools has better UIs (Backup4all is one), but I'm not going to sit and look at it too much anyway so it doesn't matter too much.
You should get the File Access Manager (FAM) along with this so that opened files will be backed up as well!
