-I expect you to be right, when you say Danish may be added later on. However, eM Client is both new to SoftMaker, and a BIG program, so I wouldn't be too disappointed if it takes a while or a year...



I am surprised so much eM Client can do!

-wow, App, you seem to not trust Incredimail! hahaha.

Well, I had it installed on my machine some years ago and never had a problem - but times are achanging, so maybe you are right. About the other: On facebook, 364,968 people have clicked "Like" to Smilebox - but of course, the company might systematically be removing any complaints.

Incredimail sure is all about money, your money, but personally I trust them    a little.

I often use Opera. As an example when I and my Fireox are on a homepage that doesn't behave like I expect it to, I will right-click and chose "Open in Opera", just to check. It was informative to read this thread and realize, Opera can be used for more things ;-)

« Last post by Curt on December 29, 2011, 02:24 AM »
it seems they gave up the lifetime concept.

Not if you're buying from the normal "buy now" link - it looks like the option is only gone from the promo(s).

-makes sense. I don't think Agnitum is happy with their $50 lifetime keys, as Innuendo is talking about. I have one of those as well, and it is by far the best software deal I have ever made.

it seems they gave up the lifetime concept. Vipre is on offer at the moment, but 3 years is now the longest term. All Vipre products are on a very special $30 off sale, here is a funny example:

1 x VIPRE Internet Security 2012, 1PC, normally listed $50 - now $12

-ehh...??!! Don't ask; the calculation is theirs, not mine!

Thank you, diva. I think I now remember why I removed Lazarus in the first place; I have a very stable connection and normally have no use for Lazarus. Except now my Firefox has begun not answering for several seconds, so I thought I better install Lazarus before I need it ;-)

I went for 3.05

I no longer remember why I removed Lazarus, so forgive me for just asking:
How is it with Lazarus on Firefox 8? Do I need Lazarus 2.3, or 3.05"Beta", or?

N.A.N.Y. 2012 / Re: NANY 2012 Release: PDFInfoGUI
« Last post by Curt on December 27, 2011, 06:04 PM »
I will very often save articles off the Internet, as "print to pdf" files. I will not take the time to edit properties, but merely give them descriptive filenames. This means that PDFInfoGUI is showing some 200 files in my ebook-folder to have no titles,,  so it becomes tedious for me to scroll horizontal to read which file is which. Is it possible to add the option to change order of columns?

As said, I have a ebook-folder. Any chance of a "fav folder"-button?

Dear Curt, your idea for improving Audials One 8 received the third place in the voting. So, you are the lucky winner of an Audials One 8 Platinum licence key. Here is your licence key: 5MLH3-...-4XCJI

Fröhliche Weihnachten :-) Thank you for the lifetime license you gave me in April 2011. Unfortunately version 9 does not accept my key ("upgrade for $60"), and the cart in your online shop will only offer me to upgrade for $40. But as it still is written on http://www.giveawayo...y.com/audials-one-8/ >>Today the Developer is going to reward 3 best improvement suggestions with a lifetime license for Audials One 8 Platinum.<< Will you mail me a new key, or what is to happen now?

Dear Curt,

Then you won the Audials One Platinum v8 full version key that you can use for a lifetime, but that did meant only Audials One v8 , the content did not include the upcoming versions.

Best regards, Audials Support Team

->(my translation: the key is for version 8 only, all of my life...)

Then I did not win a lifetime license. You have committed false marketing, and you owe me a key for version 9, and 10, and so on. Best regards, Curt

It is hard to tell what is wrong with the large photo, but when I saved a renamed version with Quality=100% (in IrfanView) it was merely 720 kb - which on the other hand is too little! Even converted to 24-bits BMP it is still only 4½ MB. Weird problem.

Both the Babylon site and the program have been updated. However, Babylon 9 still doesn't work with Firefox (8.01). My reason for posting is that Babylon right now is offering a 50% discount (and why wouldn't they), but you better first TEST IT!

Better links are http://www.filehippo.com/download_super/
or a direct link to the exe: http://www.erightsof...e.php?SUPERsetup.exe !!

Super is really good, weird but good, but hasn't been updated for half a year, which is for quite long, compared to how frequently it used to be maintained. Is the company finally being punished for their retarded site layout?

Ashampoo Photo Commander 9 is quite new. I don't *feel* it is worth the normal $50 price tag, but I really think it gives good value for the money at only $9.99. It even has a "30 days money back guarantee".

-no, you were right. They have said several times that they won't update it.

We no longer support FileBox eXtender. We make both the binary builds and source code available for download here for your convenience, please do not ask us for any support or improvements.

Besides, it has a bug (user must navigate before naming & saving file).
