Comments and Reviews
Neat features !
BUT for Windows: The install file is 70MB ! (compare to 2MB for similar program)
Run by default as multi-process (I have 6 process running for it) with a total consumption of 40MB !
Too bad as this program had the best features,as
Windows version install to AppData, not Program Files
