Differences between Magican File and Magican Document

After releasing ToolBox in version 0.9.80, we have received many users’ inquiry about the differences between Magican File and Magican Document. Then I’d like to write those differences for you to easily separate these two apps.

Although they are both used on files and document, they have different operate directions. Taking Magican File for an example, the highlights of this app is file finder. After clicking the “search” button, the searching window will pop-up and then users could find any file at will. Just selecting the related element which belongs to the file you want to find out, then all files with the element will be listed out in the following sheet.

Still to make finding process faster for most of our users, Magican File optimizes the finding process and makes it faster. Furthermore, users could right-click the file in the list and open the file directly or just delete the file completely.

For Magican Document, it would list all files in category to help users manage file easily. For instance, all iWork files, PDF files, Microsoft Office files and Open Office files could be auto listed in category as default, and users could add smart folder (virtual) in “Users” and customize their files. Then files in different path could be gathered in one folder with same format, same name or same created day, and the element that gather files could be multiple choose. But the file path would not be changed.

Then when you want to manage your file in category and make it easy to find, you could use Magican Document. And if you forget the file path and could not find the file in Magican Document, then you could consider using Magican File to help you quickly find the desired file.
