• makes changes to file names very well

  sff2000January 25, 2014

  Pros

  After a few false starts I am able to make mass changes to files names easily.

  Cons

  I didn't get the structure at first but once that became clear, it was fine. The help file assumes too much.

• The best EXIF editor (reviewing free edition)

  VladislavBSeptember 13, 2013

  Pros

  I can not confirm ANY of the criticism expressed here years ago by other reviewers. As of Sep 2013 This product simply WORKS as described. In my experience this is the best free EXIF editor for Windows.

  Cons

  No EXIF string value search.

  Summary

  I checked all EXIF editors Google found looking for a free tool, and this is the only one which simply works as described. It is fast, reliable, and free (there is also paid edition which I did not use yet). Other people criticized it heavily in the past, so maybe the product was improved that much since 2010-2011. I am writing this in Sep 2013, and my experience is extremely positive. I checked many similar tools after thorough Google search, and found nothing worth mentioning (I installed and tested many): some were EXIF viewers only (no editing), some were clumsy addons, some were command line tools, some were EXIF removers, but not proper editors -- nothing as simple and elegant as the File Property Edit. ALSO (as explained in the program "Help") the Free edition does not have any time limitations, and it can be used and updated to the future versions for free! Maybe I missed something, maybe there exists another similar tool from another developer, but at this point in time I am not aware of any other comparable and free tool.

• Does not perform promised service.

  dridaJanuary 5, 2011

  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

  txbd75bNovember 18, 2010

  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

  R_SandmanSeptember 20, 2010

  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.

  spartainSeptember 4, 2010

  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. <br /> <br />Needless to say, I'm annoyed at having wasted my time on this useless inadequateware.
