Would be nice if the "save" function for the catalog was separate from the main "save on exit" toggle. I defined several resources in the Catalog, then forgot to do the manual save, and lost the resource definitions. Specifically, I've turned off the "save on exit" so I can re-arrange at will during any session. One nit: I would like to see some tweaking of the "save on exit" routine. It's not often I shell out $70 for software, but I think I made the right decision, partly because of the right-minded licence. I like the software licence - can install it on every computer that I use. I used to use a standalone utility to create soft links, but the Junctions work much better.
I also really like the ability to create Junctions. Helps this old-guy's brain to remember and organize disparate network locations. I created a bunch of entries for various network resources that I use everyday. It was a favourite feature of mine from PD, and I encourage the developer to put it into XY. Only thing I haven't found yet (and I understand it's on the roadmap) is browsing Zip files. Configured the list views to my minimalistic preference, found how to display filesize in bytes instead of KB, found how to display drive icons on the toolbar, found that the Catalog was a superior replacement to PD's "favourite" feature, etc, etc. I kept looking for features from PowerDesk that I've come to rely on, and sure enough, they were right there in XY. Decided to take a look at XYplorer, and purchased a lifetime licence after only one day of the 30-day free trial.
I've been a PowerDesk user forever, but it just got too painful on Win7 and/or on networks.
