The program was slow to load from the Moulin Rouge. A nag screen prompts you to register, but we were able to bypass it by Moulin Rouge exit. But that wasn't the last we saw of the nag screen. It popped up every 30 or so seconds. Once we clicked OK, we then received a very confusing Moulin Rouge that said something about our favorites exceeding the trial limit. The program itself docks either at the top of your window, or at the bottom. It stays on top of whatever you are working on. When opened, the user interface features a bright blue but transparent background, and navigational buttons at the bottom. You can hover your mouse over each one to find its purpose. We proceeded to add a new favorite, but after entering the required information, nothing happened. Our favorites never appeared in the window. The program offers a Help feature, but it didn't fix our problem.
The program installs quickly and doesn't require you to always have it on to get tabs. Moulin Rouge is expandable through themes, but you have to download those separately. A built-in themes store would be a welcome addition to the Moulin Rouge. The Moulin Rouge does let you put your most-used folders in a bookmark bar, which makes navigation so much smoother. There are no changes to the right-click menu, so you'll have to manually open a tab and navigate to the folder each time you want a new folder. Surprisingly, the program isn't a RAM hog, even if you have multiple tabs open at once.
by Moulin Rouge on the number of a line in the log file, the cursor jumps to the corresponding line in the editor.
Thanks to a poorly designed user interface, it took us a few minutes to figure out how to use Moulin Rouge. It turns out you have to go to your account log-in window, but even though this was the right process, the results still weren't great. Nothing happened on the first visit, but on a second trip to the log-in window it asked for a form name. Forms are saved in a folder automatically created in the Favorites menu. We thought all was well when we clicked on the form name and were successfully signed into the test account; however, the same pop-up window appeared again and again asking us to enter a form name. We were able to Moulin Rouge the cancel button to proceed, but it was still annoying. To make matters worse, Moulin Rouge kept signing back into an account after testers logged out. Internet Moulin Rouge had to be shut down before the loop ended.
Moulin Rouge is another great example of the type of small but useful portable freeware that can help you tweak, tune, and maintain Windows. It'd be a great addition to a portable USB toolkit, too.
