  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5

Pretty much perfect is what I can say, it does its thing and does it nicely. Though I would like to have the possibility to (ctrl or shift) multi select icons from within the viewer.. nice program

I overlooked this one long time ago.. big mistake! always searched for an app to reduce images to 16 colors maintaining high fidelity(the only one i know is fotocanvas- open pic and press ctrl+4), but it is shareware! this one does the trick... so im free now ;) interface is rather odd, and lacks some stuff,but who cares.. the program works as intended and that gotta be enough for free huh, besides its slideshow approach its very interesting

I like its minimalistic approach. with some customization to the html template, it can achieve great stuff- some dragNdrop for files/folders would be nice too

nikvue.net
  • Freeware
  • WinWin XP

qleft  Good  qright

nikvue.net version 1.0.22.19233
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Its fast and has very good features. however, i dunno why image browser its not "on" by default. also, it takes a little more resources for me to use.. in fact, with image browser window open (no images loaded) cpu usage goes up to 50%.. however it is a very interesting app (rather than *boring*.. whats wrong with some people)

qleft  Very good alternative  qright

ForceVision version 3.35.1

If u need more power/tools than standard win viewer but not as much as Irfan, FastStone or Xnview... then this is the right one. its slick, fast and convenient.

Maxthon
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  The best shell for IE  qright

Maxthon version 1.5.9.80
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

This is the one of choice, specially because of the plugin thing. it is not just for us designers (they have lots of tools) and power users but for anyone! They have neat things ready to use and real fun. I dont think youd go lookin any further. (except of course for Ipera die hard fans ;) )

Never had time to go through sites to get lyrics.. this thingy does it nicely and unobtrusively. It`s almost perfect. Interface and features are being developed as you`re reading this ;) BTW, it uses very little RAM...

Acoo Browser
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Nice indeed....  qright

Acoo Browser version 1.56
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Well it is a good one.. since it seems to me this is a Maxthon clone ;) it has almost same features, very similar ui (even dialogs and menu order look very familiar) and pretty much same functionality. Even versions are close (acoo= 1.56, maxthon=1.59) however, it introduces new stuff, like the page analyzer, which has tools for web developers or power users. There are not many plugins though, but add killer works great. I do recommend it since it could grow richer in tools and plugins.

ShirusuPad version 1.1b beta
  • Interface: 5

This tiny app gathers all will ever need.. integrates all services (notes,to-do,reminders) in a clean interface and just a click away, not annoying windows everywhere, and yet fully functional.

RKopie

qleft  Very good  qright

RKopie version 3.0
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5

It really is full featured. Interface is sort of complex at first, but its not really. once you get used to it, it becomes a very powerful tool. I believe it beats many commercial products out there.

Quick Zip
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Pretty good one  qright

Quick Zip version 4.60.015 beta
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I dont think UI is ugly, though it is somehow flicky, and it could indeed be improved, but its stable enough for everyday use. I like it cause its the only one i found who can create most of its supported formats from context menu. plus it has internal file view, its multi-language and of course its freeware.

STP MP3 player
  • Freeware

qleft  Unbelievable  qright

STP MP3 player version 1.0 final
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I was looking for simplicity and effectiveness.. used foobar for a while.. then passed to Billy.. but this is the best ever! though billy uses much less resources, its not even close to the features offered by STP.. really amazing.. and it support skins!!

Inedita
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP

qleft  Better than it seems  qright

Inedita version 1.1.0
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

Yes, its a "silent" installation, but it does create program menu shortcut and it has some nice and useful features indeed.. tiny buttons has a tooltip so you can figure out what each one does.. take a look at the help file if unsure.. interface is skinnable and thats pretty cool actually. middle click on tabs saves file. highlight works fine and it has most common (not css though) although it has a favorites feature, i dont like it has no recent file list. pretty good i think (its asked me about some "c:unzippedpathsync.exe.ini at program start" )

qleft  Works really fine  qright

Scan2PDF version 1.1
  • Interface: 1
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

Does what it says and its really easy to use. Interface should be improved, but its no nag. Compresses images incredibly without losing quality.
