I am currently working on an open source solution that will allow you to save file/folder management tasks so that you can execute them with the click of a button.

hmmm.
i can now see the potential uses, even though i’m not convinced this is something i can’t achieve using windows Find or command prompt’s DIR command, with practically the same ease. especially regarding things that clearly don’t require smart filtering (copy entire hard drive etc). perhaps its something one feels when you use it.

i would have loved for this list to appear in the original review.

Here are some common uses(taken from developer’s website).

-Get a quick and complete overview of the hierachical structure and content of a new folder you have received.
-Find the most recently modified files anywhere in a folder hierarchy of documents.
-Find the files and folders taking up the most space on your hard drive, and move them to a different drive.
-Find duplicate files (files with identical content) in your documents folder and delete them.
-Reliably copy the entire content of one external hard drive to another.
-Backup the files from your main hard drive to an external drive.
-Search for files of a paticular name (or partial path) quickly in a big hierarchy of files.
-Extract files of a particular type (for example image files) out of a hierarchy and move them to a different root folder.

Are you serious?!

This seems like a majorly annoying software that uses an overly complex un-intuitive UI to copy files from one folder to another!

Beyond marking duplicate files (which I only deduce from the screenshot) what possible uses does it have that your regular windows explorer does not do 1000 times better?
