Dear Steven,

Don't see it as critique. Our input can be used input to make your product
better and your reactions (defense) prevent unwanted repeat of questions.
Also it give us a more clear point of view of your product.

Some additional input:

  • "off-line" help
    we saw that the "online" help contains a great amount of additional infor-
    mation. Our suggestion for the "off-line" part was only to show the (parameter)
    format of requested command or function and any explanation of parameter
    isn't necessary at that point.
  • preferences
    indeed we saw that the HKCU registry contains user preferences, which
    isn't a big problem for us. Some applications we know have the capability of
    exporting/importing preference settings to/from separate file. It prevents
    the need to use regedit for changing it.
  • variable list
    so we mention we were using a private version of our published script
    cleanup.kix. Yet we have also verify the public version. You can
    download it from our site http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting .

    Indeed it is slow for 'large' files, but it is a BETA release.

  • variable list: on the top.
    Indeed it can be a little bit confused, when the window disappears behind
    the kixscripts editor but it should - in our opinion - not prevent other
    applications to become the top window.
    Possible that separate window can become a separate field-windows inside
    kixscripts editor, which will be initialized during starting phase (= open
    an existing file).

Steven, thanks for your reaction. We know comments and even questions makes
it much easier for a programmer to make the program better.

greetings.
