FYI - Server D/L problem - view screenshot

this is what i received when attempting to d/l the full version from server2

i was able to d/l from server1 just fine.

thanks! i'm looking forward to investigating the new features. reading the "changelog" at download dot come(i realize this isn't an official changelog) it shows "wallpaper" in app data instead of my docs.
what does that mean?

Thank you for reporting the broken download link. Currently, there's a lot of traffic on our servers due to the 1.82 downloads, but you have found is a real broken link, not an overloaded download server. We'll check this.

This simply means that the folder where the image used as wallpaper resides has been changed from "My documents" to "Appdata".

Nice link with a good review :-) (Although I don't like comparisons too much).

i agree w/ you, helmut. not sure if you realize that i authored that "review" or not, but yes-- i shouldn't have done the comparison-- it's a function of a mind-set that "too many" other people use that other one, so i was attempting to find common ground on which to introduce something better. i was also going to mention ACD's product, but-- hmm... maybe i'll edit it, leaving them both out! here's why:

i started making an itemized list of all of my favorite / all the most useful features of XnView for a proper editing of that "draft" review, but an hour later, i woke up w/ my head on the keyboard, and i only made it like 3 bullet points down the page! realizing it was time to retire at that moment, hopefully i'll finish that list w/ brief descriptions and insert / edit the existing text.

glad you liked it! i'm an honest man, so i hope it shows in something like that. i should do one at download.com as well. do you have any other places where a review would do you good, or is this not an issue of concern for you? i suppose you have enough people using it by now?
i hope you are adequately compensated for your work because you deserve it for what you've given the community! it's difficult to tell, as a user of a software such as xnview, how is the author able to be so generous while others are so greedy? it's difficult to understand.
(sorry so verbose at times!!)

EDIT: after examination, i see that there is the option to "register". does a registrant receive a different product? or is it so that he or she may use XnView in a commercial purpose?
