What is the cost of this plug-in after 30 day trial Matthias? It isn't clear on your website, it appears to be a no-choice donation?

No offense meant... but I decided to just stick with invelos' standard comparison screen. The one Matthias made is very nice indeed.. but not something I would pay extra for.

Same for me. I was actually looking forward for it, but Invelos' comparison screen will have to do.

I recommend to take a look at Rho's comparison skin included in his Rho Classic layout. It beats the default Invelos' comparison screen.

I remember using RHo's layout several years ago -- until Goodguy released his -- and it WAS much better than Intervocative's default -- so I'll give his version 1.3.6 a try.

Just one thing, after I installed the plugin I couldn't start Profiler. It showed the splash screen and after maybe 1/4 of the load time it just quit. After re-installing Profiler it worked ok. Not a big thing, but it may put some people off. I'm using Vista Home Premium.

Do you have any addtional info on this? Maybe from the event log? I have tested the Plugin on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista (Ultimate) without any problems.

Same here... Thanks for the update Goodguy, but at 10 Euro, it's almost half the price I paid for DVD Profiler with unlimited update.

It's the "free updates for a year" limitation that is troublesome.  It might be worth considering if it were a one-time charge like Profiler (though half the price of the Profiler program itself seems a bit steep).  But what happens with the next update?  Would we have to pay for that one, too, to be able to continue using the layout?

I've used this one so much I was already thinking of making a donation anyway.  As a fellow plug-in writer, I know just how much hard work goes into these plug-ins (especially when you ignore .NET and choose to do things the hard way  ) and how frequently the donate button is used.  I've avoided downloading any updates since 3.5 came out just because I've been waiting for this, so I have no problem with it I guess.  Though I might take advantage of the trial version until after the holidays.  The kids have to come first.

Yeah, I have to join the choir here... I actually had planned on donating 20 USD (~15€) when I saw the "3.5.0-compatible" version, but now I actually feel that paying would be giving in to black-mail...
I know, it probably doesn't make any sense, but consider me a former user of this plugin... Instead, I will donate my 20 USD to mediadogg for his "Ptouch Label and Barcode Print and Save," even though he hasn't updated this to 3.5.0 yet (and I actually don't really care, as I don't use any of the new 3.5.0-fields on my labels)...

1. I'd personally like to see Studios and Publisher in their own sections.  It looks odd having both of them contained in a single section.

That's because the Publisher technically belongs to the studio section. The Studio lock affects both regular studios and publisher. And you have only a Studios tickbox in the Accept Partial box at the bottom of the window, which again affects both studios and publisher. If Ken chooses to change that, I will change it too.

2. I think it might look cleaner if the HTML tags in the overview were displayed as italics and bold rather than as HTML tags.  Hard to say without seeing it, but I think I'd prefer to see the end results over the code.

I pondered that, but decided to go with the exact display. Might be worth making an option in a future version.
