but I haven't yet brought these ideas to life. HKEYCLASSESROOT shellEdit with Notepad++command ' C: Apps npp notepad++.exe 1 ' Raw Edit with Sublime Text.reg This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. I've spent some time thinking of ways to improve this. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters. Perhaps what we should do is just add some big bold text at the top stating that the review is X years old and out of date. Instead we've shifted to more focused shorter read-written "mini-reviews" of programs that you can find posted on the forum.Īt some point we may just remove the big reviews from the site entirely - though they still do serve as a useful starting point for people who don't know what features they should be looking for, etc. One of the reasons we've stopped focusing on reviews was a recognition of how difficult it was for these reviews to hold up after a couple of years. And second because the reviews were so opinionated, trying to update them to reflect changing opinions or the opinions of anyone but the original author was impractical.Īs such - those reviews need to be viewed as snapshots in time of one person's evaluation of things as they stood at the time of the review. As Wraith said, we get absolutely no compensation of any sort from companies whose products we reviewed.īut such an approach proved very hard to maintain in the long run - first because trying to keep such reviews up to date was just a task that was beyond our volunteer efforts. That combination was on one hand quite useful to readers - as it really sought to evaluate programs deeply and make a serious recommendation to people to help them make a choice. When we jumped into doing our reviews we tried to be really comprehensive and opinionated. I'll just expand a bit on what wraith said. I feel your pain in terms of the reviews being out of date.
