Summary
When trying to import frames, some frames get added to total number, but they can't be seen for alteration. It's really unreliable!!! Not worth the time...or MONEY!!!

15-trial days is SHAREWARE, not to mention the fact that this program is cluttered junk. A complete waste of bandwidth and time, don't mess with it.
