So my current method allows full use, including save, with time limits, but places a user's own saved patches behind the paywall. You can create your own complex structures, save them, but only re-open them in the full version. Does this seem like a fair restriction?

Sounds very fair. Sounds like you've finished it Colin. Please may I download it? Right now?

[mooneh]

Yes sounds good. It will be released 1st april for sure

[colin@loomer]

Thanks. And I wish I would get these last issues nailed for an April 1st release, if only for the prank factor.

Oops, minor typo: I meant to say "without time limits", not "with time limits."

And it'd be out even sooner if I didn't waste three days trying to work out why it would crash on a Linux machine before realising, after much consternation and literal debugging of assembly code like I'm Neo in the Matrix, that it was a VirtualBox bug. Tip for VirtualBox users: it tells lies about what extensions your CPU supports!

Yes, that sounds fine. Or alternatively a 30min session limit. IE. Full functionality for 30mins then the plugin must be restarted.

That sounds the same as the way they do it with Reason, and I always thought it was one of the best demo systems around - full functionality is really important, and not losing stuff you've just stumbled upon/created while demoing is great. I think you have picked by far the fairest way

[colin@loomer]

Thanks for the feedback, all. I'll go with this for the time being then, and redress it at some future point if the consensus is that's too restricting or not restricting enough.

to be honest, I think we are at the stage where if Colin said some of it works sometimes we'd all be going - Release! Release!

(I would anyway )

I thought we hit that stage 5 years ago
