very painful licensing - Version: 1.60, 10/18/2006 04:33AM PST

This is a little script to do what Neatnik used to do much better and with less trouble under OS 9. It's expensive for what it is in the first place and Derman burn you for update fees and relicensing hassle between OS X versions just for bug fixes.
Worst of all the licensing is so painful and time-consuming and invasive (we can just put up with it Photoshop or Adobe Suite as it is a core applicationi) that if shareware creators went down this path - people would just stop using shareware.
Same thing applies to upgrade licensing.
Really if you value your time stay away from this dud.
There is a much less troublesome and much cheaper ($10) set of scripts called <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/jonn8/fwm/"> Finder Window Manager</a>. ***** from versiontracker users.
Very user friendly, unlike FolderControl. Stay away.

Hard to configure. Pricey too.
He took the product off the market to avoid issuing me with an up to date license via Kagi.
Weeks of hassling over email to try to get a license out of him. Only when given strict instructions by Kagi to issue me - the original owner - with a replacement license, did he do so. But he took the update off the market so I couldn't have a working version of the product.
An example of a developer so paranoid and unpleasant that he gives shareware a bad name. To avoid at all costs.
I buy bushels of shareware and donate to a lot of donationware and freeware. I've never seen anything like this paronoiac.
