   PowerDesk Pro 9 - a Sad Farewell

   I've used PowerDesk from version 6 to version 9, in Windows XP to Vista to 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. With each platform migration, it was harder and harder to install PD. I finally bought a new package to go along with my Windows 11 Professional desktop. Unfortunately, the software not only doesn't work, but the technical support people are not native English speakers. Between extraordinarily thick Indian, Eastern European, and allegedly French Canadian accents, I LITERALLY had to bring in a translator. At the end of it all, they couldn't install PD, because it's not coded for Windows 11.

   AND, based on their almost fanatical insistence on my "trying technical support" (three times) and refusal to graciously offer to refund my purchase price, I'm having to escalate this into a Collection Event with my bank getting involved.

   Thus, Avanquest has lost me as a customer, despite their once unquestionably-superior program. Their product's (former) greatness has been drastically exceeded by their p**s-poor customer service.

   👎 Cons:    Extraordinarily-poor customer service|Failure to say that powerdesk 9 doesn't work under windows 11|Technical support is a joke

• What is a piece of software that you need but doesn't exist?

  Try QTTabbar. Adds a lot of features to windows explorer including tabs (disable tab bar if using with windows 11 with native tabs in explorer) After installation enable the toolbars from View -> Options (or use the enabler app on windows 11). Source: 5 months ago

• Enabling a feature in File explorer

  False. It is not the only software, I use Qttabbar since Windows 7 and thanks to it I have tabs that I can customize, and they are more useful than the native tabs. Source: about 1 year ago

• This is a joke? we have icons for Paint in dark theme, but we don't have any option to activate a dark theme in Paint? Really? 🤨 The icons for Paint in dark theme on the left and in light theme on the right, as they can be found in the Paint installation folder.

  About tabs, since Windows 7 I use tabs in the file explorer thanks to Qttabbar. Qttabbar tabs are customizable and more useful than native tabs. I had to use vivetool to permanently disable native tabs, and instead I use Qttabbar tabs. You can download tab skins within Qttabbar or you can create your own tabs. The tabs you have seen in the image were made by me based on Edge's new rounded tab design, as you can... Source: about 1 year ago
