Ashraf gave the link to his 4.0 review, not the 4.2 giveaway version, which he also reviewed (4.3 is current). This is the Standard 4.2 version, not the Advanced. I disagree with several things Ashraf said. This is a many-times giveaway, first on September 30, 2007. On the earlier giveaways, I explained how this works and how to use it. You should uninstall earlier versions. This is a resource extractor, it finds multimedia items within other types of files, it doesn't find multimedia files. You shouldn't expect much from PDF's, etc. Compressed file types would require specific coding, it's just that Fotis makes broad claims without explaining that this only finds embedded media resources in uncompressed/unpacked/unencrypted files (or at least the media resources have to be exposed).

* Right-side window pane displays individual contents of left-side window pane's highlighted/selected files/folders.
* Supports image formats: ico, ani, cvr, bmp, jpg, gif, png, tif, wmf.
* Supports video formats: avi, bik, flc.
* Supports sound/music formats: mid, mp3, wav

* Allows user to: copy images to clipboard, save images to wallpaper, convert images to icons.
* Smooth, easy, intuitive program operation.
* Relatively small file download size (at 5.33 MB).

CONS:

* Program must be run using Admin Mode. in Vista OS.
* Post-install screen prompts user to update program to newer version - this is misleading, as Giveaway progs that are updated will revert to trial/paid versions.
* No local help guidance located within program (online only.)
* Does not support image formats: pcx, iff, tga, emf.
* Does not support video formats: swf, asf/wmv.
* Does not support sound/music format: ogg
* Price point of $39.90 seems a bit high for my personal taste ($20.00 would be much more reasonable, imho.)

SUMMARY: - Program is easy to install/use, is very feature-rich, and it successfully operates as described. Thanks, GOTD & Fotis.

This program tries to do too much and therefore is not good at any of it. This will grab things you do not want and it keeps grabbing them when you try to get to not do so.

With some better controls it might be usable.

#5 thanks for pointing attention to resource extracting instead of media file finding.

So this is useful just for developers who need to grab icons from executables (or something like).

However, files larger than 2Gb can't be handled.
