When you first bought your computer, navigating to the folder that you wanted was easy. But as your work volume grows, so too do the number of folders and subfolders! Today, it's impossible for you to get to any folder without drilling through huge lists, which severely impacts your productivity. But things get better right now, thanks to Folder Scout Standard, today's discount software promotion.

Folder Scout Standard gives you instant access to any drive, folder, or file on your computer, just by typing the first few letters of the name. With Folder Scout Standard, you no longer have to navigate huge hierarchies of folders, nor do you really have to worry about nesting a folder into the right spot. An outstanding Predictive Search Engine empowers Folder Scout Standard to easily index the names of thousands of folders, placing you exactly where you want to be with just a few typed letters.

Best of all, Folder Scout Standard does all of this without bogging down your system. There's no background indexing to take up CPU cycles. All that's needed is just a few seconds to catalog the names of the folders on your drive, and you're good to go! Even if you do some housekeeping and change folder names, Folder Scout Standard will automatically track these changes and account for them in your next search!

This promotion includes the following:
Folder Scout Standard vv1.3.2 ($14.95)
Folder Scout Professional v1.3.2 ($19.95)

Thomas Duntze Hello Paul,
as it is not mentioned at all, could you please confirm, that the program can be installed anytime - opposite to "today only".
Does it include different languages?
Thank you and thanks for this offer

Paul Scout @Thomas Duntze,

Hi Thomas,

1) You can install and reinstall it at any time. No problem. You only need to store your License Key in a safe place ;-)

2) Current version only includes English language.

Hope this helps.

Peter Martin May I suggest usb version where you can use the program without installing and thus not using any of the computers resources ( at least not permanently) and where you can catalog files or folders from say 5 different computers and save then in the usb and find almost instantly which computer/s the file is found and maybe even tell the latest version

Paul Scout @ Peter Martin

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the comments. User suggestions are always welcome.

A Portable Edition for Folder Scout and Offline Folder Search both sound as good candidates to be implemented in next releases.

SKY Hello Paul,
Looking at your comparison table, does it mean that with today's free offer (Standard), I will not be able to look up any of my data files (ie. 95% of all my data) in my external HDD? If true, which would render today's offer useless to me, can I upgrade to Pro, (after I install the Standard) for say. $5 ? :) Thank you for an affirmative reply.
Regards...

PS: I wont tell anyone, if you make it a one-time offer. :)

Paul Scout @ Serhan K. Yasar,

Fortunately that's not the case ! Standard Edition works perfectly with USB External Drives. Professional Edition also includes support for NETWORK DRIVES (Shared Drives through LAN, WAN, Linux NAS, etc).

DrTeeth This is a very useful app on which development seems to have stopped. Last updated 16th June 2012. So "includes free updates for all 1.X version" is as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I paid for the pro version.

It has a confirmed (by the dev) bug that makes it very annoying for me to use - it will NOT remember its last window size or position, nor will it co-operate with a utility that I use to get Windows 7 to remember windows sizes and positions.

CJCotter From a previous BitsDuJour offer, I currently have Version 1.3.2 build 217 from June 2012. What a great program! I have over 500GB of digital "stuff" on a SATA external storage drive. So much so, that I've lost all track of where everything is, in spite of my best efforts to organize it. Enter Folder Scout. All I have to do is enter part of a folder name that I think that it is, Folder Scout pulls up all of the folders where that can be found. Then I click on the link, and it takes me right there. Now I can't live without it.

Peter Martin, above, is concerned about Folder Scout "...not using any of the computers resources". It doesn't. It just sits there in the clock tray. Task manager shows a "00" CPU usage. The only time it uses computer resources is when you refresh Folder Scout's drive catalog, when you click on one of the folder links.

Hope this helps.

DrTeeth @ CJCotter

I use 'Everything' for that. It's free and had a relatively recent burst of development.

Paul Scout @DrTeeth,

You are right, but I am still here !!. Development hasn't stopped but certainly delayed. I have got twins two years ago - exactly on June 8th, 2012....

Apart from some known bugs (like "remember window size and position") and some others unknown ;-), the application runs smoothly and many people like it. Anyone can give it a try for free (like today), and use it. If it makes your life easier, just enjoy it !

DrTeeth @ Paul SCout

Congratulations on the twins. I can see your future - I have two teenagers. The window size/position thing makes 'Scout too annoying for me to use. Once it is fixed, I'm sure I will be a convert.

Nigel Blumenthal Hi Paul:

Just downloaded the free version, which looks very useful (although I have a suggestion for enhancement). However, what I'm looking for is a chart of the differences between Standard and Professional. Is there such a chart readily available?

Thanks,

Nigel

Nigel Blumenthal Thanks, Paul: Just a couple of questions - given that the free version already connects with my external hard drive, what's the difference between an external drive and a networked drive? Also (and this was the enhancement I had in mind) is it possible to name and save a catalogue? I use a laptop in two different locations, so I'd like to have one catalogue for the laptop, and one extra one for each of the NAS drives attached to the router in our two homes so that, if I'm in Location A, I can see whether I've got the directory I need to store files, or whether it only exists in Location B. The issue is that both NAS drives may or may not use the same drive letter (maybe Z: or Y:) but obviously there's no conflict since I'm only ever attached to one at a time. So having a catalogue for each location would be really useful.

Thanks,

Nigel

Keith Quarles Will this program work with Windows 8? That OS is not listed.

Paul Scout @Nigel Blumenthal

Hi Nigel,

Q1) A Networked Drive usually resides on another PC or Server (Windows, Linux or any other) who shares its Local Drive through a Local Area Network. This environment is quite common in companies and recently is also becoming pupular in homes for users with several PCs, Multimedia Server, etc.

Q2) Yes, but this is managed automatically by Folder Scout internals, using XML files. In any case, if you want I can give you more details to check if what you want can be done. Please write me to support@folderscout.com to talk about this subject. Regarding dirve letters, this is not an issue considering Folder Scout internally manages disk drives by its Serial Number or IP Address.

Paul Scout @Keith Quarles,

Hi Keith,

Folder Scout has been fully tested under Windows 7 for 32 & 64 bits editions, but only partially tested under Windows 8, initially without problems.

Will be very pleased if anyone could share with us any experience under Windows 8/Windows 8,1 32 and/or 64 bits editions.

Nigel Blumenthal Hi Paul:

I've gone ahead and purchased the Pro version and received a registration key, but the key doesn't seem to be working - the "OK" button is greyed out and the only option is to exit the registration screen. Can you help please/ Thanks, Nigel

PS: I'll be in touch with you over the support issue we discussed earlier. Thanks.

Paul Scout @Nigel @Chandig,


Please confirm you downloaded Folder Scout install program from Folder Scout Web Site and not from link provided by Bits Du Jour. Functionality is 100% identical, but today installer is tailored for BDJ and does not accept Professional registration codes.

You cand download it here: http://www.folderscout.co...0Trial.htm

2. Once installed and running, Go to Folder Scout Main Menu -> Help -> Register, and paste your COMPLETE Registration Key.

3. Press OK button .. and enjoy !!!
