Re: Saleen Software Solutions
smaragdus indicated in comments that he was concerned about the Folder Sync program. I can confirm that the program has changed names (foldersynch:

It is called Folder Sync since at least April 2011... https://web.archive.org/web/20110405202 ... FolderSyncwebfork wrote:smaragdus indicated in comments that he was concerned about the Folder Sync program. I can confirm that the program has changed names (foldersynch:

Re: Saleen Software Solutions
ScanFS now requires the .net framework 4 to run.
The manual installation also includes ScanFs.pdb which I did not figure out yet what it is needed for. The application seems to run fine without it.
ScanFS calls home (autocheck for updates?).

Re: Saleen Software Solutions
Maybe this is the reason:
Microsoft wrote:A program database (PDB) file holds debugging and project state information that allows incremental linking of a Debug configuration of your program. A PDB file is created when you compile a C/C++ program with /ZI or /Zi or a Visual Basic/C#/JScript .NET program with /debug.
Re: Saleen Software Solutions
Indeed. PDB files are almost useless for end users. Programmers, on the other hand, need them for debugging.joby_toss wrote:Maybe this is the reason:Microsoft wrote:A program database (PDB) file holds debugging and project state information that allows incremental linking of a Debug configuration of your program.

Re: ScanFS - ad-ware
ScanFS is ad-ware:
More, Disk catalog mode is locked in the HOME EDITION, which means that besides ad-ware, ScanFS is also a demo. Please, vote it down.

Re: Saleen Software Solutions
I don't really care about the ads (although the author should be open about that), but I can't test the Disk Cataloging mode, even if in Evaluation mode. This really bothers me, because it is advertised as having such capabilities! Maybe it's just a "slip" from the author, whom I consider a nice person.
Re: Saleen Software Solutions
I'll add a note to the entry. I don't see any non-redistribution license restrictions (I don't see any license at all) so if anyone has a copy of the previous version, I'd be happy to switch.smaragdus wrote:ScanFS is ad-ware

Amusingly the ad server for this program appears to have gone offline:
Re: Saleen Software Solutions
If you read back through this thread, there have been a lot of problems with the ScanFS program but it's still online. A new version came out but the changelog is empty and the program is now distributed in a password-protected ZIP, which to me is unacceptable. I get that this is supposed to get around virus false-positive complaints, but I don't think our site visitors are going to go anywhere near that.
I'm recommending we take the entry offline once and for all.

Re: Saleen Software Solutions - WebDownloader
Saleen includes a downloader program for various sites on the Internet including Youtube, Google, Flickr, Photobucket, Facebook, etc. called "WebDownloader" Of course all download programs have to see frequent updates to maintain their functionality against sites that generally speaking don't want downloader programs accessing them. What's unique about Saleen's is the Service Status checker on their site showing testing results for each site https://www.saleensoftware.com/WebDownloader
License: free for personal use
Status: untested
NOTE: This is unique from "Web Downloader", a simple download manager already on the site.
