V Communications PowerDesk Pro 6 Total File Management (this is what Microsoft Windows Explorer should be -- but isn't!)
Because computers support our business (and livelihood!) here at Info-Source.us, our file/folder-management utilities (as well as maintenance utilities) must be top-notch. When it comes choosing tools to perform these functions, one company stands out from the rest: V Communications, Inc. (aka VCOM).
We're excited that the company has improved an already-excellent product (it is one of our computers' staples): PowerDesk Pro. We use this product every day and believe it to be best product of its kind (it is a much more-functional version of Windows Explorer).
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 11, 2004--V Communications, a
leading developer and publisher of advanced PC utilities, today announced
that PowerDesk(R) Pro 6, a powerful new version of its award winning and
industry leading file management utility, is now available on the web
and at selected retailers across the country. PowerDesk combines a wide
range of desired utilities and tools
into a single easy-to-use application. It completely replaces Windows
Explorer, giving users the ability to perform advanced search, sort, view,
copy, delete and rename. Many advanced operations in PowerDesk Pro are
not even possible with Explorer. In addition, PowerDesk Pro includes a
full file synchronization utility, integrated FTP, support for most compression
formats, a file space manager, MP3 Playlist editor and a unique open/save
dialog helper. Click Here to Buy Power Desk Pro
"I'm always amazed at the number of users who tell us they can't live without PowerDesk," said Travis Sehestedt, V Communications' VP of Sales and Marketing. "With this new version, we expect users will be thrilled to see the new features and enhancements we've made. It's one of the few products you will find yourself actively using many times each day," commented Sehestedt.
New and enhanced features in PowerDesk Pro 6 include:
-- Enhanced Sync Manager -- PowerDesk Pro 6 compares and synchronizes the contents of two folders and, if desired, subfolders. Synchronization can be pre-filtered, selected for one-way or two-way synchronization, including duplicate, copy newer, copy older, move newer or move older. In addition, it automatically saves synchronization history, so users can quickly locate and repeat prior tasks that were performed.
-- Enhanced Preview -- PowerDesk Pro 6 includes built-in viewer support for over 150 file formats. Quickly view selected files in a preview pane without having to open the file first. Preview works with most graphic formats, most office formats, PDFs, and much more. Users can also view directories in thumbnail mode, which is great for viewing digital camera photos and other graphics.
-- Multiple Undo -- After performing operations such as copy, delete, and move, it only takes a single click to undo what was done. This includes undoing group deletes and more.
-- Updated UI -- Now PowerDesk Pro sports an updated XP style user-interface with new, easier to read toolbars. In addition, it includes Startdock's fully skinable environment. Multiple skins are included, or users can go to popular third party web sites and select from thousands of additional skins. Another new feature is the ability to change keyboard shortcuts.
-- New compression formats handled -- PowerDesk Pro 6 doubles its already strong file compression handling from 16 formats to 32. Now users can easily compress and expand files from all popular compression formats. PowerDesk also allows users to see within many archives to see the entire list of files and selectively view the contents or extract with a simple drag and drop operation. Supported compression types include .arc, .ark, .arj, .as, .bin, .btoa, .bz2, .cab, .compact, .cpt, .dwc, .freeze, .gz, .hqx, .jar, .lha, .lzh, .mime, .pak, .pf, .rar, .sit, .sitx, .sco, .tar, .taz, .tgz, .uu, .ync, .z, .zip, .zoo.
-- New Layout Manager -- PowerDesk Pro can save a current layout to a chosen icon. With one click, the layout is restored, including its multiple pane view, selected folders, filters and other options previously used. Users can save any number of layouts to save time and increase productivity.
PowerDesk Pro 6 is compatible with Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000/XP/2003 and
is expected to be street priced at $49.99. For PowerDesk Pro 5 users,
an upgrade is available for $24.99. Click Here to Buy Power Desk Pro
