"This product was terrible"
Version: File Property Edit Pro 3.57
Pros
none that i could see
Cons
did not work at all
-
"Does not perform promised service."
Version: File Property Edit Pro 3.35
Pros
For the Free Download Version: The download and installation worked reasonably quickly and smoothly.
Cons
For the Free Download Version: The software needs usability testing with a wider variety of users, and the instructions should be written by a skilled technical writer.
Summary
For the Free Download Version: The interface requires the online instructions to use; it is not intuitive. The program appears to make the file property changes I entered (for author, company, and title). After I clicked "Apply Changes," I tested the actual file (select, right click, click on Properties, click on Summary) I found that the properties were not entered. However, the program did something to the file because now I could change these summary properties directly. This software should be considered in its beta stage, not yet worth paying for.

"It hung immediately on a search"
Version: File Property Edit Pro 3.35
Pros
Nice interface, if it had worked!
Cons
It's unclear how it would work since it hung when I told it to search my documents.
Summary
It's only a trial ware product on CNET - glad I didn't pay for it only to find out it didn't work.

"Inept Programming of Trial Expiration Prevents Trial"
Version: File Property Edit Pro 3.35
Pros
Nice marketing, slick redirect to purchasing page to obtain your payment.
Cons
Even ensuring you have the latest directly thru CNet, redirected from their homepage, provides you only with "Trial has expired". No, you'll not have yet tried anything-Yes, you'll be immediately taken to the Buy Me web-page.
Summary
If something as basic as checking the current date during installation, then checking that against the current date during execution of the program, cannot be performed correctly...do you want to trust them to manipulate your file structure?

"An appallingly non-user friendly software."
Version: File Property Edit Pro 3.35
Pros
Not a thing I can think of
Cons
Appallingly geeky and non-user friendly. No instructions, confusing installation for trial, a dud.
Summary
This clearly has the look of software that has been written by some idiot geek, and has to be the most user-unfriendly program I have come across. All I wanted to do was to change the information in the Properties of my video files, but I just can't figure this out, and the useless online Help was totally useless. It wasn't in actual fact a help, but just a guide through the features.
Needless to say, I'm annoyed at having wasted my time on this useless inadequateware.
