Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This plug-in greatly enhances Windows Explorer file manipulation methods, but requires novices to study the help file. This application has no interface as it is a plug-in for Windows Explorer. Magenta Extensions 2002 provides four additional functions that display upon right-clicking a file. Users easily run executables with the option of setting additional parameters. The Select Files and Folders feature simplifies selecting files that contain the same characteristics out of a large collection of mixed files. What we really like about this plug-in is its capability to instantly rename files based on character strings. Unlike Windows, Magenta Extensions 2002 can selectively print folder content lists or create an HTML format list of links of files. While all level users would benefit from this application, advanced users will find they turn to it often.Publisher's description
From MAGENTA :Print or save file and folder listing as they appear on Windows Explorer or Windows Desktop, with icons and any additional information selected. You can choose to print icons view, list view, thumbnails, or details. Printing order is Windows Explorer's selected order. Only selected Windows Explorer columns are printed. You can select and print any additional available columns (type, size, date, image dimensions, artist name, album, etc.) depending on files type. Extensions are Windows Explorer plug-ins and are available at any time in current Windows Explorer window. Print in printer's paper size or 12cm by 12cm surfaces to use as CD-ROM covers (crop marks included).
Additional features are: Powerful batch file and folder rename, Dynamically select icons using wildcards, Run programs with parameters.

Version: Magenta Extensions 2002 1
"software looks OK, but WEB site is awful-can't activate or buy"
Pros: I downloaded this because it seemed to be an enhancement to Windows Explorer. Anything I can right-click instead of opening a new program would peak my interest. The free download would not print out the entire folder, so I was actually willing to buy it without testing it.
Interface seemed easy and it looked like it would meet my needs. See cons.
Cons: All I really wanted was to be able to rename files and print a list of files in a directory easily. When prompted to "activate" or buy, I dutifully went to the WEB site to do so. What a mess-I apparently got to their home page and had to search for the right software. Then I was asked to call the company, etc. etc. I suppose I could have figured it out, but there are too many alternatives out there--unless you LOVE this software, it's not worth the time needed to buy it. Do they really want to sell this product??

Version: Magenta Extensions 2002 1
Pros: While the software looks interesting, its severe limitations unless it is registered makes it virtually worthless.
Cons: You can only print and save 1/2 of the files in a directory.

Version: Magenta Extensions 2002 1
Summary: There is no sense in downloading the trial version.....it is worthless. You cannot print anything without a "trial version" notice printing in the middle of the page. Hard to navigate. Basically, I wouldn't even pay for the software
