OK, so the license (and the lifetime assurance) are per user - is there still going to be a separate lifetime assurance license for portable versions?  Because, in reality, if there is, I might as well get only portable versions from here on out and use it from my USB drives. I know you have develop...

look one post up from the download - the code for the entire script is there.  You should be able to adjust the script as you need and then compile it yourself.

IN addition to narayan's post, the %1 is a temporary variable that basically sits there waiting for input, and will usually use the filename that you have right clicked on as the input / replacement.  without it, it *may* work and it may not - depending upon the application- some apps automatically ...

He said pretty much the same thing to me via email as well - but I didn't want to say so in public....

I kinda like having separate versions - then again, I already paid for mine, so...that *could* be a factor.

Good point - I did neglect to mention the size limit - must have deleted it out and forgotten to paste it back. I haven't looked into the plug-in for Paint.Net yet, sounds promising - I can say that thus far I love Paint.Net though, but not being a graphic artist, I only use it to occasionally save ...

You should look into the world of VNC - Virtual Network Computing. more than a couple of clients out there, some are free / OSS and some proprietary. Last I checked Symantec PC Anywhere Host only was a free option as well, but that may be only when obtaining it as a bundle with a new PC or elsewhere...

I used to be of the opinion that I would not purchase any software that used a subscription fee based methodology.  However, in light of somethings I did not think clearly through previously, I am inclined more to accept this, in certain situations. First off, I know that you, Nikos, have not ever b...

One thing you should realize:  Free icons are available all over the Internet. Another thing you may not but should also realize: Dynamic Drive, an *invaluable* website for Web related stuff, has a very nice favicon generator script on their page at:  http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ Now, you ...
