There are a lot of apps out there that do just one little task. Some are cool and some are just in the way. Most of the time I end up uninstalling them. This is not the case with Simple Window Sets. I use this app daily and I love it. Simple Window Sets makes organizing backups so much easier. Using keyboard shortcuts I can access groups of windows on multiple drives. I use this in conjunction with Dragon Dictate. I simply speak a client's name and all folders for that client pop open. This is a huge time saver.

Crashes at launch. I'm a registered user. Reverting back to previous version (3.2) makes no difference, unfortunately. Mac OS X 10.5.8, Mac Mini (2009).

This is an exceptional app. Hank is one of the developers that makes being on a Mac a great thing; he is top-notch!

This is an excellent program, simple, easy to use and have had no problems with it at all in the last 3 months. It does the job right and it does it well. If only it could launch applications with the same ease of use.

Thanks for the nice comments. FYI: I'm working on something like you're requesting now! It's for creating document sets (I'll see if I can incorporate applications too) and will work very much like Simple WindowSets. Keep an eye out for it in about a month or so.

This is a very useful program. However it works only with Finder windows. Since I have started using Path Finder, this program no longer is of any use to me. I am keeping my eye on this, however, in the event the developer makes it workable with Path Finder.

I was a user of version 2 but had to stop using as it required access for assistive devices to be turned on in Universal Access. Unfortunately I am required to run a third party application that acts up when this feature is turned on. This new version no longer requires this so I am excited to pay my upgrade fee.

I rather like this. I use a lot of different split-pane settings, and this lets me choose them quickly. The program works very well. I was in the midst of trying it out when I experienced a glitch from another program that was severe enough to prompt me to erase my drive and reinstall everything. (Let me be very very clear - Simple WindowSets did NOT harm my system. It was something totally unrelated.) Anyway, I had saved my preferences for SWS, and afer reinstalling, the program still remembered all of my previous settings perfectly. I was sold on it.

This looks promising. Finder Window Manager does similar things but despite its feature bloat, does not let you update a window set. Simple WindowSets appears to allow that.
