![]() I use 7-Zip from the Windows 7 context menu on a pretty regular basis to unzip recently updated Nirsoft portable utilities that are flagged by SUMo but that WSCC is either late in flagging or blacklists (because it thinks they’re hacking/cracking tools), and I run CCleaner’s Cleaner and Registry modules before I do manual syncs and backups. What is sure is that if I couldn’t remove the ads and if those ads were updated on-line (phone home for latest ad-crap at every start of the application) I know I wouldn’t run version 7.0, definitely. Ads and Internet connection bother me nevertheless. If it removes features I have on 6.25 I’ll switch back to 6.25.īandiZip is a nice product and I won’t bash the company for making a living. I’ll wait for the stable release and try it. I’m running with total satisfaction BandiZip 6.25, latest fre-free until 7.0 release. Is it that the install is on-line or only that Internet connection required, in which case what for? Gosh, I hate that. ![]() That’s the smart way it goes most of the time : free versions may have limited features and it’s OK, normal, accepted here (work=>cost=>price) but ads, nops, not a wise policy IMO.Īlso, “Bandizip 7.0 Standard requires an active Internet connection for installation” and I deeply dislike such imperatives. As Martin, “I would have preferred a no-ads decision to focus on selling Pro and Enterprise versions to subsidize the free version, it may work out nevertheless for the company.”. Upcoming BandiZip 7.0 should be ad-free even if personally I guess they’ll be blocked one way or another. “A cracked version?” Seriously? That desperate for “ads for free version” or “no ads for $30?” $30 for a lifetime license is basically one hour of work. Wait! With Windows 10, one doesn’t even need a third party tool for simple compressions why are we even having a discussion about a business that we have zero shares in? I paid for a lifetime license.Įasy enough to find something else if one doesn’t want ads. “PeaZip?” “7Zip?” “Unarchiver?” The compressed file format I prefer is the. “Zip Genius” is an excellent alternative. I rather doubt the advertising will bother me because I don’t work with archived files that often. –Bandizip–plenty of other “free” options. Personally, I hope you don’t decide to “destroy yourself.” If so, the Choice is respected. How you work out “The Eternal Question” found in “The Red Badge of Courage” is entirely an existential debate with oneself. Yes, if one looks closely that thing called a body and everything else, it is simply energy and information. –Unfortunately, one can’t destroy onself because energy is neither created nor destroyed. –Google didn’t disable uBlock the developer, Raymond Hill, refuses to change the code that Google feels violates their privacy policy and/or security policy. I think most developers of superior products and most people in general expect to be paid for services rendered and/or a product that makes work flow on a computer smoother. The “The New York Times” and “The Wall Street Journal” provide superior products loaded with advertising and are thriving since they can pay their writers. –Bandisoft provides a superior product that the company feels deserves a cash profit. Now You: What is your take on the changes? Things could change for the worse if the free or pro versions are severely limited feature-wise. The decision makes sense from a business perspective while I would have preferred a no-ads decision to focus on selling Pro and Enterprise versions to subsidize the free version, it may work out nevertheless for the company.Ī single-pay license for $30 that is good for installation on multiple PCs is a fair deal in my opinion, provided that upgrades are included in the deal. The introduction of advertisement in Bandizip, as light as it appears to be in the beta, may drive away some users there are plenty of free alternatives such as 7-Zip available. Other new features include support for processing hard-linked files in TAR archives, and the option to pre-allocate disk space for output files. ![]() The decompression speed for certain archive formats, including RAR5 and 7z, has improved in the new version as well. The program uses its own code when decompressing NSIS and UDF formats as opposed to relying on third-party libraries to extract these formats. You may set a master password to protect the passwords from unauthorized access and add passwords to the application that Bandizip will use when it tries to extract archives that are password protected.īandizip 7.0 comes with other improvements. A click on Options > Password Manager opens the built-in password manager.
