Folders Factory for Pc

This app looks great and CAN make very unique the app, but the total lack of any meaningful directions really limit its usefulness. The only thing that somewhat explains how it works is the simplistic video that plays on opening. There is virtually no other way to figure out some of the quirks with working with this app. For instance, how does it work with folder aliases? after I add a picture to the inspector, it won’t take a folder alias. Why? If I want to use an image in “image” or “texture” mode, what is the difference? (I finally figured out that one for myself, but that is the kind of thing that should be addressed in a users manual). I want to give it a 5-star rating, but instead of making nice folder icons I spend way too much time trying to understand its hidden rules and limitations, all things that should not be learned through brute trial-and-error!

I love organizing my computer, so I have a bunch of the app! I always hated the blue the app, especially the shade, and wished I could change it. I don't buy apps that often, so when I do I expect it to work great, and get my money's worth, and within an hour of use, I already feel like my money was well spent. All four modes are great, and I don't mind not being able to use them all together. If I want text on a picture I edit it, and then use it in the texture or picture style. I'm also very much into fashion, so I love making everything look as pretty as possible, which was something I loved about macs. With this program I have everything I need to change the style of my the app, easily! It's simple to use, but the options are endless, and if you change your mind about the new design on a folder, you can always take it back to the default. I highly recommend this app for anyone who is sick of their blue the app!

It’s 2015 and I’m still using Folder Factory. It has the best customization options. The weird scale bug can easily be worked around by nudging/scaling it a pixel or two. In the era of DropBox and other cloud services I still want my custom folder icons across all the devices I sync with. I found that if I make a copy of my custom folder, right click compress it into a .zip and then put it in my dropbox folder I can then access it on my other macs, decompress it, do a get info, copy the icon in the upper left corner of the get info preview and then on a get info of the dropbox folder I can paste my custom Folder Factory created icon. Voila now both sync’d the app share the same icon. Original Review: Image based the app can I was hoping to easily create the app showing a family photo as the folder icon (XMAS 2011, New Years, Ski Trip, etc). All my photos are from digital still cameras, but when I drop them in Folder Factory (using the image tab) the image completely covers the folder icon. Folder Factory can't scale the image down enough to fit into the folder icon. So I have to use Photoshop Elements to resize the image smaller and then put it into folder factory for it to work. UGH! I hope the next version 1.4x+ has the ability to better resize, crop and position images onto a folder then this version does. For now it is too much work to be practical.

This is the best app ever. I find it really useful to be able to look at my the app and not just see masses of blue. In order to apply the design to a folder, after you make the design you drag the folder you want it on into the big screen with your design. It will apply within a second. This app is super easy to use, and I really like the texture effect. There is another app called “folder factory”…no “s” and it does not let you use this function. This makes the work a lot less tedious because it means that you don’t have to work super hard to fit the picutre exactly to the folder size, but can have them act as one. This is an app that I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to organize their the app in a quick and easy way.
