Hmmm...unlike here on Softpedia it got very positive ratings by users...

Here is the PORTABLE version of the program (FREE Edition):

http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/File-management/Portable-Vole-Windows-Expedition-Free-Edition.shtml

Best feature is its built-in previewer, which enables you to preview several different file formats (Videos, audio and text documents).

Can also generate thumbnails for multimedia files automatically, enabling you to browse the web by a built-in web broswer.

So overall is not bad in my view, but honestly can't see any outstanding feature deserving a whopping 60 bucks as price...

MAN?? Lower the price please....

Why? Well, well, well.....

Installed on a Win 8.1 64 Bit System without problems.

It claims to be a document previewer, but I'm missig .epub, .mobi or the other eBook document types.

!!! Opening directories with a large number of subdirectories, the program doesn't react and freezes(*). Must be closed via task manager.
Therefore completely unusable !!!

This piece of software has never been tested on a e.g. Ebook library with some thousand entries. Never!

(*) The task manager shows, that the program tries to "read" the complete structure. It occupies some Gigabyte(!) of memory and consumes nearly the whole CPU power. Then it runs out of memory. What a crap!

Uninstalled.

May work on a computer with some hundreds of documents in whole.

Preview with PDF file : Error occurs.
Preview JAVA files: File downloads as attachment.


Application should use installed softwares to preview file types eg: I have Acrobat Reader installed but Vole does not preview PDF files. WHich is of not much use. Same is with almost all file types.
Application only previews generic types like txt,jpg
Need to improve this , then 60$ may be worth otherwise not worth even as a free.

I looked at their website and read their description of this software. And this is how it goes:
"Vole Windows Expedition is a Page-Reproduce, massive space and dockable file manager. An easily customized and more graceful way to manage your documents. Totally compatible with Microsoft file Explorer.

We call document preview page collection and directory list collection as Vole Explorer, Vole Explorer collection as Explorer Project, Explorer Project collection as Vole Windows Expedition. We call all pages and page docking positions reproduce as Scene Reproduce. We call find, download and preview VMC media library in any web page as VMC Discovery. Search for Vole Media CHM for more detail."

Some of this sounds like English, however, I cannot really understand what it means.

Plus, after having looked at the entries in this blog, I think it's best to pass on this one. Thanks GAOTD and SANWHOLE, but no thanks.

Okay, on installing we have to agree to the terms of the 'Sanwhole Free Software License Agreement', This includes the phrase 'Free Software (Freeware)', but we're told here at GOTD the software is available for $60. That doesn't fit any definition of Freeware I've ever seen. Then if you go to the developer's page and click on the purchase tab, you'll see;

Product: Vole Windows Expedition
Update: Free upgrades for life
License: 1 User, may be used on 2 computers
Renew
Profession 12 months $60.00 USD

So, is this a formerly freeware program that has gone commercial? If you were to buy it, do you get free updates for life, or have to buy a licence every year at a cost of $60? Will my brain explode trying to understand what's going on?
