Servant Salamander 2.5 RC1
Finally the release candidate of the long-awaited version 2.5 of the best file manager for Windows has arrived. Version 2.0 was released back in February 2001. Since March 2003 beta versions of Servant Salamander 2.5 have been released periodically. The last one was version 2.5 beta 11.
I have used Servant Salamander since 1999 because of the following killer features:
- Built-In FTP-, SCP- and Registry-browsing
- Graphics viewer (conversions, screenshots, rotation)
- Office viewer (Excel, Word, PDF quick(!) view)
- Recursively change attributes, case, date information
- Powerful file renaming, undelete, packing, enrypting utilities
- Powerful file and recursive directory comparison
- Completely keyboard controlled
- Only a small shareware fee that pays off definitely
Statement from the ALTAP website:
- We are releasing Servant Salamander Release Candidate 1 with prolonged expiration limit, so we will not bother you with another installation procedure until the final version will arrive.
- Servant Salamander 2.5 RC1 looks pretty stable now. Further development is freezed, only major problems will be fixed.
- We are working on language translation support, help system, and documentation. You may notice that each plugin has own .SLG file with language dependent resources. Help system is working, each plugin has own help which is merged with main Servant Salamander help (not included in RC1). Now we have to write documentation for each plugin.
- As soon as these tasks will be finished, we will release the RC2 version with language packs. We hope you will help us polish all language translations.
- For Servant Salamander version 3.0 there will be feature-poll opened on our web site. Please keep posting your ideas to Official Support Forum available at http://forum.altap.cz/.
