I received my license key immediately and instructions were perfectly clear, thank you.
I googled "automatic screenshotter" this evening and the first result was from your site. I didn't know the name or your utility, I just typed it because I needed an automatic screenshotter for Windows, always useful to have some record of what's happening on more important PCs. Anyway, I was very impressed with your software - very configurable, very powerful, zero nonsense, I like it. And your website follows the same principles, totally different from marketing-heavy websites we are so used to today. Happy to offer some support.

Archivarius: Mini-Review

Archivarius

I have tried most of the mainstream desktop search tools, starting with blinkx and the first beta from Google.  I especially liked Copernic, and that was the one I ran for the longest period.  When Google launched their latest version, I decided to give it another try, tempted by some of the nice interface design work going on over at aqua-soft.org (especially the Getchoo project).  Then I installed NOD32, and stumbled upon the documented incompatibility between these two products (read Google websites and you’ll learn it’s NOD’s fault, read security websites and you’ll learn it’s Google’s fault).   That was a drag, but not enough to convince to change desktop searcher again.  But then I changed my email over to The Bat!, and it was only yesterday that I realised GDS was no longer indexing new mail.  A bit of research turned up a plugin for GDS, but that was described as buggy (and I would still have the draggy NOD/GDS problem); so I decided to look around.  There is an excellent comparative chart of the various Desktop Search tools over at: http://www.goebelgro...om/desktopmatrix.htm  I hadn’t heard of the only program listed there that indexed The Bat!, Archivarius 3000, so I decided to give it a try – and I really like what I found.
