The official release brings changes
The official public release of FolderSizes, version 1.5, is finally here. And with it, comes changes.
First and foremost, FolderSizes is now BulletProof FolderSizes, published under license by the good folks at DigitalCandle. Second, BulletProof FolderSizes is no longer freeware.
A quick word about my decision to make FolderSizes a commercial product. There were several contributing factors, and I'm not going to go into great detail about them here. Suffice it to say that I felt the product needed to evolve to this distribution model in order to be viable for the long term. It was simply too expensive and demanding to develop, host, and support FolderSizes for free, especially as the project grew.
If this news disappoints you (and I accept that it may), please be aware that I hope to continue offering future beta releases for free, charging only for the final commercial product. If you decide to support BulletProof FolderSizes by registering it, your decision will be greatly appreciated.
Finally, I'd also like to take a moment and thank everyone that supported me in the transition. Developing FolderSizes and meeting the people that use it has been a fantastic experience for me. And, although I know it's a cliche, the best is yet to come.
As always, I welcome your feedback. Thanks!
