Changing file attributes in one fell swoop is extremely easy, thanks to this well-designed and capable program. Despite a short trial period and file limit, we were still able to fully experience its superb performance.

File Property Edit has a very clean and easy-to-navigate interface that will appeal to all user levels. It flows in such a way that you know exactly where to go first. We added an entire folder and opted to include paths and subdirectories. The program also provides a filter feature. The contents of our folder immediately appeared in the interface window. From there, we had the options of modifying the file time and setting file attributes, such as archive, read only, hidden, and offline, to name a few. As soon as we clicked the Apply Changes button, the program instantly modified the file attributes. We were able to just as easily change the file attributes back to normal using the same steps, as well as by clicking the Undo Changes button. We were reminded of the program's 50-file trial limitation, but other than that the process worked exactly as it would with the registered version.

We would have liked to have seen a built-in Help feature, but there is a link to the publisher's Web site for help. We also would have liked to have a longer trial period than the given 15 days. Still, if you're looking for a no-nonsense file manager, this program is a worthy contender.

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.
Summary
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.
This product was terrible

Pros
none that i could see
Cons
did not work at all
Summary
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.
