Publisher's description
From Avanquest Software :PowerDesk Pro 7 is a luxury edition of a file manager and offers more features and functionality than the limited file manager offered in Windows or other file management software. It completely replaces Windows Explorer, giving users a wide array of tools to search, edit, delete, move, sort, view and copy files, including those found on digital cameras or MP3 music players.

Version: PowerDesk Pro 7.0.1.1
"A once great file manager sadly showing its age."
Pros: Dual pane windows, excellent search tool, highly modifiable tool bar and launch bar. The file viewer is very important in my work. I also liked the Sync function.
Cons: They haven't kept up with the times. The file viewer got worse in the change from ver. 4 thru 7. They do not support 64 bit O/S's and there is no support for Win 7. The times I tried to use tech support I received short FAQ quality answers.
Summary: From my correspondence with Avanquest I get the impression that they see PowerDesk as a cash cow and give it inadequate engineering support. I was using PD on Win XP, migrated to Vista and then to Win 7. I experienced situations where when working... read more >>

Version: PowerDesk Pro 7.0.1.1
Pros: Loved it since version 4. Upgraded to 6.0.4.2 and still like it, however...
Cons: Their upgrade policy (claims that 7 is NOT an upgrade, but a totally new product) and is priced at full retail. NO WAY!

Version: PowerDesk Pro 7.0.1.1
"Version 7 is so much worse than PD 5!"
Pros: Runs in Vista without each time requiing administrative authorization. Descriptive notes appendable to archives, notes stand a change of file location. That's the good part.
Cons: A sizeable part of the rest is a mess. Dialogue windows ask for input that the program doesn'y allow to be fed, e.g., in searching o renaming a file. Can't change some prefs. eg, to replace Windows explorer. Buttons are big and icons are small, etc
Summary: PowerDesk 5 was such a good program! Only it doesn't run well in Vista and notes disappeared after a change of location. Now in version 7 those two limitations have been overcome, but the rest of the software is half cooked at best. Really give ... read more >>
