GreenScape

GreenScape is a personal information manager designed to organize your online resources hosted on multiple service providers, like emails, photos, feeds, calendar, contacts, and so on.

The layout of the utility is pretty basic. It is reminiscent of an Internet browser that also takes design implementations from Windows XP Explorer. It's two different 'Explorers' mashed into one. Users can access photos, emails, and other documents from the 'My Items' menu, while other options, like an integrated browser, are accessed from the 'View' drop-down panel.

GreenScape aims to satisfy all users need by acting like an encompassing data manager. It wants to run emails, websites, photos, documents, and all sorts of other things in one integrated window, while having everything spread among different tabs.

This idea, as a concept, isn't that bad. After all, segmenting all your work on your PC in different tabs could make your life a bit easier. But organizing your browser, emails, and countless other files in tabs will make your work increasingly crowded.   Nonetheless, if you're not a daily PC user with tons of files to manage in your system, a 'universal' Windows Explorer manager might come in handy.   However, this application is just a skeleton of what a similar fully-fledged program would look like. Some features don't work, others don't function as they should, and you'll encounter crashes at pretty every corner.   When it comes to configuration settings, GreenScape is also relatively minimal. It offers users the possibility to use a proxy connection, assign some hotkeys, and save the email account database to Apache Derby format, XML, or SQL script.

There's hardly anything that could recommend GreenScape for any proper daily use. But if you're interested to see how a potentially excellent design is ruined by poorly optimized system implementations and countless bugs, GreenScape is a great example.
