Next version and Donation

andy

Hi Jdobb and everyone.

I just made a donation for your great program. I was just wandering how can we make sure that we are on the list for the next version. Not that I only donated for that version, but i would like to have the benefit. Will there be a link sent by e-mail telling where to download it. Or will it be mentionned on the forum that the new version is available?

Thanks

...they don't go together. I'd let Jdobbs decide on criteria how to distribute next beta. I'd sure be sorry if I am not on the list (no matter of donation), but I'll wait 30 days if I need to. Honestly, I started with V0.35, donated @ v.047, but not very usefull as some beta testers, frankly no time. So, even after 30 days if I get good product (after all testing) I don't mind - it is free!

And all in all, if you are not picky and don't mind stutter here and there, v0.35 still usefull. I have several backups with it and have no plans to make new ones of the same titles.

You will be notified via e-mail (the account you've registered with PayPal) when it is available.

I am confused...  As someone that has donated through PayPal several times in the past, will I be on the list?

Yes.  Anyone who has donated through PayPal is already listed and will be notified through the e-mail address associated with their payment.



   Thanks for clarifying...

@jdobbs
I ask that you please have DVD Rebuilder open the quot;defaultquot; browser amp; not force IE on us.  I don't will not use IE, because I don't like nor trust it (OR M$ for that matter).  Thank you very kindly.

Hmm...  I actually don't open IE.. I open with quot;Explorerquot; -- I thought that would invoke the default browser.  I'm not sure how else to do it.  Anyone have any ideas?

Oopps!  I stopped coding after the Amiga.  Wish I could help, but Windoze coding drives me nuts.  Heh, I looked at that Donate button a LOT, finally was able to click it amp; look at what happens.   HAHA!

in paypal  

Then you do not have to click the donate button.

I just copy amp; pasted the link from IE to Mozilla amp; did it.

jdobbs, i just read the news about multiangle support.  that's really great news!  i can't wait to test it!  if dvd-rb had closed caption support, this program would be quot;perfectquot; for ME!

thanks for showing us donators your appreciation!

I think its a reasonable step from you Jdobbs to give the contributors something extra for supporting the development. I would also like to donate a little but my problem is the same as some others in the old thread - my creditcard is for electronic use only and I have no way of using PayPal. Is there an alternative method for me and others with simular problems to donate?

Kind regards.

Hmm... I was under the impression that you didn't necessarily have to have a credit card to use PayPal...

Thanks for Everything Jdobbs!

From the PayPal website:

Just enter the recipient's email address and the amount you wish to send. You can pay with a credit card or checking account.

And that's credit card. Debit cards quot;for electronic use onlyquot; are much more common in Europe than the US.

These days most of the debit cards in the U.S. can also be used as credit cards (with the money coming out of your checking account just like debit).

Same thing here, but due to fraud one must be present to enter a pin code as well. My card even has a SmartCard chip in it.

Explorer is I.E.  Here's some sample code:

Code:  DWORD   rc;  HKEY    hKey;  char    buf[1024];
  rc = RegOpenKeyEx( HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,          quot;from\\shell\\open\\commandquot;,          0,          KEY_QUERY_VALUE,          amp;hKey        );
  if (rc != ERROR_SUCCESS) {     fprintf(outfile,  quot;    [from\\shell\\open\\command key not found]\n\nquot;);     return;  }
  RegQuerySZ( hKey, quot;quot;, buf );  fprintf(outfile,  quot;        Default browser:  %s\nquot;, *buf ? buf : quot;[not set]quot; );  RegCloseKey(hKey);Internet Explorer is quot;iexplore.exequot; and Explorer is quot;explorer.exequot; located in two different places in the windows directory.  They may use a lot of the same code... but they aren't the same program.   Iexplore.exe is pretty small (less than 100k) so I assume it calls explorer.exe at some point.

I guess the assumption I made was that if you quot;runquot; a ucl reference, explorer would look it up and handle it just as it would if you clicked on it... obviously wrong.



Tisk, Tisk... Time for the wet noodle flogging, jdobbs!
