Stardock Fences would be my favorite icon grouper, but its license activation is unstable and obsessively paranoid. It randomly loses its activation and I have to re-activate. Nimi Places gives me nearly the same functionality without the activation hassles. I just wish Nimi Places could perform its organization without my having to move my stuff into separate folders, for reasons. Still, I'd rather do that than to continue the Stardock activation battles.
it's very..crappy...and the EULA is horrendous.
basically: install our shite tool and we can steal your computer data in any way we feel necessary!! WE'RE ASSHOLES IF WE WANT TO BE ASSHOLES!
I recommend that you don't install this. The installation is unclear. The uninstall is non-existent. I installed it under/Users/MyName. It grabbed everything on the desktop.. folder and file and put it in thumbnail. There appears to be no way to get it out of their cubes other to do a Delete which will actually put the folder in the Trash. I deleted the Nimi file under User and hoped for the best (I do keep backups) That seems to be the only way to get rid of this little monster. Poorly crafter, and as others are mentioning, it is not open source or necessarily private.
Folder contents don't update and constantly crashes. Even worse, it offers to save the crash report, which would suggest the purpose of doing so would be to submit it to the developers for debugging, but it offers no means of contacting them, and checking the website they just rant for several paragraphs about how their email is private. Well, way to go Nima, you've succeeded in keeping people from emailing you, including with crash reports, so your POS software can stay a POS. What a waste of time.
Crashes on Windows 10, requires uninstalling manually:
Then the only places referencing it will be lists of "recently ran applications" or "recently opened files".

Nimi Places is apparently no longer free for commercial users.
LICENSE 2. LIMITATIONS c. Free for NON-COMMERCIAL USE. The SOFTWARE is only for NON-COMMERCIAL USE.
It's a great, free alternative to Fences, which is cool but proprietary and thus, evil. xP
