Blame and hit me instead if you like, I deserve it!
Wham, bang, bang! Splash!
Yeah, I knew it was your fault all along Icfu, always getting out the wrong side of bed. Take that, and That, and THAT!
Anyway, why are some posters getting so wound up over Ghisler not replying personally to every little suggested improvement? I'm sure he could easily pop in a soothing canned reply to each and every one and not do a single thing about it, couldn't he? The proof will be in the next update as usual, so let's not get too strung out about it.
Many of these improvements would be nice to have but the planet Earth's not going to stop turning if they're not implemented immediately, if ever. Unicode, for example, is a bullet that Ghisler's going to have to bite sooner rather later. But my guess is that many would cater to only a small group of hardcore enthusiasts (you know who you are) and wouldn't be missed by most - and Ghisler knows this.
He's on record as keeping a to-do list of improvements and we know from his replies that he follows the forum comments closely. Personally, I think he shows a lot of courtesy in taking the time to respond as often as he does. When was the last time you noticed the author of a very successful software package appear twice a week in his own forum?
Let's face it, if TC didn't fulfill 98% of your desires (of the software kind, not the other!
) despite its few shortcomings, all of you would be off to some other file manager forum faster than you could say "Quick, run, here comes majkinetor!"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a sneaking suspicion that even the grumblers enjoy this community for its blindingly speedy reponses to queries and demonstrable software expertise. Props to the moddys too for ruling witha light touch, which is nice.
I'm certainly looking forward to TC7 next year, and since it's almost 2006, may I wish you all "新年好" which is "Happy New Year" in French!
