The Setting for “Exclude File” Doesn’t Work
PictureShowMan
This is a nice, simple application that keeps your desktop clean. But when I went to “Settings / Exclude Files” and tried to get it to ignore certain files on my desktop from its Show & Hide Operations, it wouldn’t let me choose any files. I tried multiple ways to use this preference, but nothing worked. Because of this, I’m giving it just 4 stars.A recent update has now solved the problem and I’m changing my rating to 5 stars. I’m impressed that the developers issued an update so quickly once they learned of the problem.

Simple but effective

This is one of those apps that doesn’t do a lot, but what it does it does well. It’s nice to be able to look at my desktop pictures without all the clutter, but know that I have quick access to my desktop icons when needed.
Perfect

Other desk-top hiders also hide my screensaver and desktop graphics. This leaves them visible. It really does just what I want it to do.
