There is no download link for text edit plus installer or portable on the Text Edit Plus get it free popup so people that don't know vovsoft website are lost as to what to do!

that's somewhat odd... I downloaded the portable edition of vcf editor 1.2 and it did not ask to be registered, checked the help |about and it states "Licensed to: FREEWARE" I get no nag screens and can disable update notification in the Help menu. Should I edit the registration and apply the giveaway key or is there no risk the FREEWARE license will spontaneously combust on me at some point in the future without warning?
I note it does not PARSE entry sub-string identifiers like unicode encoding details for text fields such as FN N LN and
"TEL;HOME:27137217
TEL;WORK:423476438
TEL;CELL:744432834"
instead of parsing the numbers and displaying them correctly according to subtype strings it appears to be suing a FIXED template that is not part of the VCF spec i.e.
Always parsing the numbers in the order "CELL, HOME, WORK" You've oversimplified VCF handling to just how one other sample program implements them rather than actually PARSING data types completely. PS obviously the numbers represented are junk numbers since this is public posting.

W11 Pro.
My desktop is full.
Not brave enough to have multiple desktops.
If your pgm could have a single icon on my dsektop, and clicking that opens a full screen form on which the sticky notes appear, I would be interested in that.

Would prefer the notes and events repository being optionally encrypted using a user supplied passphrase. Currently is stored unencrypted either in registry or data.ini accessible by anyone with a login or access to a "portable" drive.

I was under the impression these giveaway licenses would be valid for the lifetime of the particular software version. I obtained the Rename Multiple Files (Giveaway End Date: November 24, 2024), installed it and activated the license on November 20, 2024 - before the "giveaway" ended and it now will not run because I receive a popup which advises the license is expired and cannot be activated. Will this happen to this giveaway? Why even have a giveaway if the software only runs for about two weeks? Will the same this happen with this "giveaway"? What does "lifetime" license mean in this offer?

on initial look... don't default to the users Desktop to dump emails, default to Documents\Emails\, the desktop is special place and should be protected from being filled by program output! Can the program keep details saved or is manual entry per server required every time? The UI *looks* like it'd be suited for multi-tab operation where each tab is an email servers account... which to me would seem sensible since most people have more than a single email account with one provider. Does it support 2 factor authorisation now forced on us by many email providers and if so how does it get around the problem that XP and Vista web browsers, even 3rd party Firefox and chrome are woefully out of date and may not function with current 2FA server requirements.

why no 32bit edition?

windows UI convention suggests the listing should be sort-able by any of the column headings, including date modified and type in ascending and descending by just clicking upon the column heading name button with it acting as a toggle between sort ascending/descending. Note the SOS installer is built to require NT 6.0 not NT 5.1 so is not executable under XP I see requests for a SOS giveaway activated XP compatible version but none have been forthcoming. May I suggest XP users get a copy of InnoExtractor and just extract the pre-activated XP compatible build from the incompatible SOS installer and just use it as required :-)

use the program for benefit

you have the wrong build of FFMPEG.EXE in the portable zip distribution... not checked the installer yet... You have a 64bit edition of FFMPEG.EXE included which will NEVER RUN under a 32bit edition of windows. The main executable runs happily under 32bit Vista SP2+ and will likely operate under 32bit XP SP3 or even Windows 2000 just need a compatible 32bit build FFMPEG.EXE to do all the grunt work for you. In addition you need one more profile to extract the audio stream AS IS no re-encoding that will produce the best possible quality at the smallest possible file size. ANY re-encoding will either reduce audio detail (quality) or increase audio track size e.g. lossy codec can be made to reduce file size but will in every circumstance lose quality and FLAC might maintain detail level but it will produce a larger file with probably less features like no 5.1 DTS... ALso as usual save location should NOT be the users desktop but should be a subfolder of the users MUSIC folder where all audio files should be. I have replaced your 64bit FFMPEG.EXE with your version 4.3 32bit FFMPEG.EXE and not it works under 32 bit windows Vista like it should apart from the omissions and bugs mentioned above. Spotted another programming choice error, when selecting the output destination FOLDER you have chosen to use a FILE selection dialog and cut it down so it sort of produces the desired effect rather than use the official folder selection dialog with the added create new folder button. Also with the audio presets settings you should add bit width for at least 16bit, 24bit, 32bit, and I think a floating point option of either 32 or 64bit I could use always free XMedia re-code to do what this does and add some basic trimming features too.
