TC is in fact freeware for poor people (because they are allowed to use TC even if they don't pay, IF they accept the nag) and it's shareware for the rich. But, only the shareware part is covered by the license till now, the freeware part is not till now but only "common knowledge" by statements of ghislers in this forum. In TC 7 the license agreement will be adjusted to reflect the present state IIRC.
And I see you are lazy to deny writing such a simple app.
If I would have written the FavMenu for free for the TC community and then would have to read such statements, I would be easily pissed off completely. That's just not fair at all.

For (TC+AHK) community.
And this is a single utility, while ts4242 has made much more.

It looks like you have no clue about how much apps majki has coded although you are reading the forum very extensively.

What would you say if ts4242 would unify all UTC editors into one GUI? Stop counting at 2 and tell him that he is unworthy?

Can't believe what I have to read here...

But majkis script covers the usage of (almost) whole windows.

And if you continue arguing I'll fetch my big brother... ;)

But thats not the point:

majki thinks that freeware shouldn't have nagscreens or anything.

You may share this opinion. Or you may not.

It is his opinion and he has nothing to do for it. "If you really think like that you must this and that..." That's nonsense.

I don't have to agree with the Angela Merkels politics only for the reason I do not try to oust her. And to say someone does not do his/her job proper doesn't mean that I can do it better.

This is silly.

2 SheepdDog, 2 Icfu
Thx guys. I see that we understand eatchother well.

I didn't do the FavMenu for TC+AHK community. I did it for TC community but first of all for myself, since I had a problem with current TC functionality. The other thing is that I love to code. The next thing is that I have some friends here, that helped more then once, so I don't have problem to do something for them if that is not contrary to what I think is good. To be honest, the application worked for me after several days, with my personal settings, and I did another 2 weeks of coding (and still doing it) mainly for people here and because I don't like to leave things unfinished.

I don't know exactly why you mention TC Fav on this place. This topic is not about me or about things I do, like sheepdog noted.

The only explanation is that you are a kid, and kids should first learn how to discuss something and not do it because of spite. You are shrilly trying to prove me that I am wrong, but I can not be, because I talk about principles and those can not be right or wrong. Its how you live.

It's ok to ask for money, but the nag screen is downright annoying. It would be acceptable to have it pop up the 1st time and never again (after all, if you don't want to donate, you can just have PushTheFreakinButton press all 3 so the dialog goes away).
