User Reviews

  • Using v1.99b I seem to have some problem in W7 environment re. options -b (backup: error saving) and -p (preview; requested replacements are not reported but work without -p). Any help? Thank you, very useful tool!
  • Great command tool! I used to translate some titles and words from english to spanish HTML on pages generated with PLDoc (Other SourceForge project). I Don't like the animation on project's main page.
  • Great work! Tiny fart that works extremely fast!
  • Great tool unless you're going into some more complex text such as ASCII and such. One issue I'm coming across, however, is that I sometimes get a "unable to create temporary file" that gets spammed, but then it says the replacement is done and it moves onto the next file. Seeing the results APPEARS to work, so I'm assuming it spams the ability to create the file until it works, but you see the attempts made as errors. Is this assumption correct? If so, I'd imagine the errors is due to the system not deleting the previous temporary file quick enough and it spams it until the previous has been removed.
  • It's wonderful. It smells like roses, and can replace them with solutions.
