questions about deskrule
Posted: 2017 May 26, 14:35
I'm an old user of xplorer2 and decided to try also the new deskrule-search engine.
My first impressions are that DR is not very user friendly although it is a very powerful search engine.
I've been walking around deskrule trying to figure out how to take certain actions, and for example my first obstacles are:
1 - Didn`t find out how to choose more then one path to search on, in the addressbar box. it seems that it only accepts one path at a time.
2- If i try to search files with this logic - *.sps OR *.sav - in the name box it doesn't yield any results (it's extensions of SPSS files). I only get what I want using the advanced search.
3 - The help texts are really very messy and don't help much.
4 - If I want to take actions on files in the search results list, for example to copy them to another folder, I can't do that, or if I can don't know how.
Finally having to pay almost 38 Euros for a piece of software that needs many improvements in perhaps small issues but that can make the difference, is too much.
We will see the future.
