EasyBase

Organizing a collection of files isn’t really a difficult task, unless you need to keep track of a large variety. When having to do with text, EasyBase wants to help you store them in a clean database in which you can also perform edit operations, while HTML support also makes it possible to analyze and modify bits of code.

First of all, the application skips you the whole effort of going through a setup process and can be launched right after download. Since it comes in a lightweight package, it’s easy to carry around on a thumb drive in case you need to use it on other computers as well. Registry entries are not modified in the process, thus keeping the target PC clean.

The visual design is minimalistic, bundling together a simple navigator for all documents you decide to add, as well as an edit pad for instant changes in text. Files, however, can’t be dropped over the main window. Each needs to be added as an individual item, with the possibility to process TXT, RTF, and even HTML files.

Editing itself doesn’t involve any advanced features. In fact, you only get to work with plain text, without any font customization options whatsoever. On the other hand, it’s possible to drag other files or pictures over the edit area and treat them like objects. However, saving under a plain text format might lead to the creation of a corrupt file.

As far as HTML support is concerned, the application comes with a syntax highlighter, which needs to be triggered every time. The entire document is scanned on the spot, highlighted, and arranged to make text identification easy. There is also a search function to jump to specific strings, but with no possibility to replace.

All things considered, we can state that EasyBase is a plain text editor and HTML analyzer you can carry around, as well as the documents themselves to have them organized in a simple database. Edit options leave more to be desired, and so does the overall visual design, but can handle straightforward tasks very well.
