FileBot supports Windows, Linux and Mac, plus there's a full-featured command-line interface for all sorts of automation.Ī simple user-interface tuned for drag-n-drop (no need to bother with file dialogs) It's smart, streamlined for simplicity and just works. once again it's a "just in case" thing.FileBot v4.9.1 + Portable (圆4/x86) (April 14, 2020)įileBot is the ultimate tool for renaming your movies, tv shows or anime and downloading subtitles. Releasing the current versions like that would definitely be a dick move.
I'm not interested in making a "no license key needed" copy from source (see the Don't be a Dick" license on the new versions) because the devs are still maintaining and adding features. On that note, i am also mirroring the source code from GitHub for each version, so if the product does go under, or the devs quit/get hit by a bus/etc we can fork it and open it without license keys. I think it's in the data-hoarder mentality to preserve a working copy rather than losing a useful tool. This is a great tool for those that have large TV and Movie collections, and i think it's important to have it available whether or not the developer continues to support the product. I don't agree with the "Needs a license to work" which is why i'm sharing this older version. I also bought a year license so that I can use the newer version, however this doesn't change my perspective. You should definitely support developers when you can whenever you find their software useful. My intent was not to imply "don't pay developers".

Your copy of the license can be found inside the archive file, or in the link above. I am exercising my rights right to freely distribute this software, as this version is licensed under GPL V2.0, which explicitly grants users the ability to share this software in object code or executable form. This is an older version of FileBot (4.6.1) that does not need a license key to operate, so those that wish to use a previously free software can do so. The author has also removed previous versions from the SourceForge archive in order to lock new users into purchasing licenses.
If the developers cease to have the ability to distribute new keys for these users, their software will stop working. I think that this is a bad method of monetizing a product, so I seek to provide an alternative to time based subscription licenses which are dependent on a single point of failure in order to create working software. It seems that Filebot has begun charging for their new versions of the Filebot software using a method that requires a license key in order to make the software operational.
