Good to know, thanks for the insight. I was playing with the idea of creating a similar app, with more features and faster (in C++). I guess there is no much demand for modern NC clones, orthodox file managers. Btw, are the sales still going on?

I put it down to desktop utility apps being a very tough market because 1. they are time-consuming to develop and 2. people hate paying for desktop software. You already have several comments in this very thread from people complaining about the price:

Ah and yes, I'm still getting a handful of fman sales per month. But nowhere near enough to justify any time investment.

Did you experiment with different pricing? I wonder if slashing the price significantly would boost sales so much that it becomes viable a product.
