It's "OK", yes, but not what we want. We *want* our screenshots used. (Well, I do want *mine* used -- four of them are mine.) Of course, we have to make good ones, or my whole argument becomes null and void. :-) We know which nice new features there are to show off, which nice new aircraft. Reviewers probably use the default, and won't spend much time getting a really nice screenshot. You know how important screenshots are. > What use is there in distributing shiny made up ad photos, if its hard for > users to get the very same on their own screen. I'm very much against made up screenshots. Ones that show things that users have no chance to see, as they'd need to install files that aren't publically available, etc. But using the best antialiasing settings, the best sun/shadow angle, the best weather settings, etc. isn't cheating. It's ... umm ... *art*! :-} > Anyway your solution in effect is the same that I proposed earlier > (explicitly grant permission for certain defined uses only) :-) That's the real drama. We waste much too much energy on topics where in fact we all pretty much agree, anyway. ;-) m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
