Good concept, limited functionality

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

When I read the description, I was excited because it sounded exactly like what I needed.

The reality was quite different. Open it up and it offers you about three columns of checkboxes, most with three or four letter names for your directories. You click the check boxes, click "create directory" and it builds the directory in a location of your choosing.

There are no preferences and the codes for the directories are static, with no way to modify. The splash screen shows full-word descriptive folder names which the program does not even allow!

This appears to be a quick toss-off of some internal utility and is in no way ready for real-world use.

Put some more time into it and it might be worthwhile. For now, I feel I've lost a half an hour of my life that I'll never get back.

Good concept, limited functionality - Doug97

Well thanks for the positive (?) feedback.
All I can say it is a version 1 release and it's free.

Good concept, limited functionality - Bob Wiley

That this works is not deniable. That it will be useful for most people is very debatable. More work on user interaction and direction is needed before this is even beta-ready.

Meanwhile, what I've done is use the Finder's archive command to archive a selection of empty folders that I use in most every project. When I create a new project folder, I drag the archive into it -- double click, and presto... instant working folder structure. The archive is still intact, so I just drag it back to where I got it.
