Yes I've been around softwares for a while...(hum too long..) and I like forums when they make things progress in general. [4 |-|] Following a precedent post (see [url]http://www.hexagora.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=891[/url]) where I explained my point of view about the importance of priorities in development, I would like to do a small demonstration here. I discover for example that DHE has an option in the Page Properties of using "page transitions". [2 ...] Was this function in a wishing list ? Apart from the fact that transitions only work in IE, who dares today to use such a process ? Well I don't want to criticize anyone but you must admit that only beginners amongst beginners use this trick. Have we ever seen a website at least a bit professional using that ? It's probably one of the biggest mistake in web development, a bit like displaying pictures not compressed. You know the guy uploading pictures between 1 and 3MB because he doesn't even know what compressing a picture means...[2 |--] Usually he will put one on his index page so that the whole website becomes almost inaccessible... Well just to say that these transitions might have been on a wishing list but was it a priority ? something making DHE much more valuable ? [2 ?:-|] But instead the development time could have been spent in putting 2 spare lines to be able to select 2 browsers so that we can check immediately our pages with IE and Firefox. This is VERY important. When we know that Firefox gets now 30% market share in some countries, checking pages in only one browser is an evident mistake... Time could also have been spent in putting a link to the "users forum" or to "check latest version" as there are regular DHE updates. Thanks to Davide who is a real professional and understands the importance of maintaining a soft alive. It's the main key to satisfy customers and make a soft successful ! [3 up] So to wish or not to wish, that is the question. Like one should select 5 good photos between 50, we users should write (on a paper all our wishes) and take out AT LEAST 50% of them to only keep what we think are the MOST important wishes...This would greatly simplify the work of developing and would make DHE more valuable... Just an opinion, isn't that the goal of a forum...[3 :p] Cheers Barry. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
