Wow!!
This guy could not be further from the mark.
If he were not so pompous he might have read the documentation and maybe even browsed the forum before making a public display of himself.

Keep up the great work Stefan!

Okay, I appreciate your response, and I apologize.
I ought to have learned by now not to send emails when I'm pissed off. I read it now and cringe. Sorry. I could have at least worded my email as questions, not a flame.

Clearly I didn't look hard enough.
I thought I did.
But I'm on a dialup at 45K. I get impatient.
I make assumptions to save myself time.
I looked at documentation that seemed only to be screen shots. Did that change recently ?
Now I assume not, but somehow I got that impression.
I googled for "limit" and a few other words on logisphere.org, and found nothing.
A link to "license" on your help page gets me there, but that isn't a very enticing link.
I assumed it was about the paid license only.
The word "limit" isn't on it, of course.
May I suggest adding a line of words like "limit" so a direct search like mine would have turned up that page ?
Now, of course, my flame will show up, and presumably this reply, too.
So problem solved a little too late for me.
What about the others whose word is slightly different ? Certainly you can't be expected to think of all of them and cover the endless possibilities. But a few more would be nice.

I used to write software for a living.
One of the lessons I learned is that users approach a product with a very different mindset than mine. It was always useful to turn them loose and see where they get messed up
simply because our mindsets didn't mesh.
It looks like that's what has happened here.

To some extent, you've turned 'em loose and addressed mis-mesh with your forum setup. But it's hard to be bandwidth
and time-efficient wandering around a forum to find answers and specific information.
I often don't even look at forums because they can be sink-holes. Now I see yours is more manageable and worth looking at than many.
Now I search for "limit" in it and only get my flame and something about logitech.
May I suggest a FAQ synopsis for those of us trying to quickly screen ten webcam products to find one worth spending time on ?
Or have I missed one of those, too ?

I'll look further, and try to be more polite.

>>>also a menu entry in the program group
>>>go to 'Configurable live stream'

One big problem may be that I do not have any menus at the top of my Logisphere window.
I don't see a "Program Group".
I cannot find anything about a "configurable live stream" anywhere.

Did I make it this way ?
Is there a way to turn menus on?

(So of course, I also have nothing offering me any help, and had to find the F1 option on your web site.)

Other notes and problems and wishes:
(using v1.6)
1) If I hit the "..." (browse) button for local save filename, then hit cancel, the file name is blanked and files are created in c:\, the root directory.

2) I used 1.5.x for a couple weeks before 1.6 was available. When the free license time limit was reached all I seemed to get was a cryptic message in the status area about a server
timeout. I don't think it told me I had a problem with the license. With 1.6 I got a message saying "you need a Pro license to run...", so you may have fixed that. Or did I miss it in 1.5.x ?
In any case where some of my anger came from was that the program wasn't telling me what the problem was in anywhere near the verbose way that was needed.

In your free version, there really ought to be a pop-up at startup and another at timeout that make it much more obvious what the limit is.

Of course, nag screens are a pain, so I wouldn't stop the program from running at startup, and you could offer a clickbox saying "Only show me this one more time", so people
have to see it only twice.

Also, my use of the webcam is only a local use. I have no internet connection on the machine being used. So your brief description of the free license is a bit confusing in that context.

3) I don't seem to be able to quickly recreate the timeout by changing the system clock.

So I am not able to efficiently test & see what comes up at the timeout. I see cam self-checks 7 hours apart, and no timeout.

4) The F1 help only seems to go to the welcome page once. If I "X" out of it, the next time I hit F1, I go to the Commands page.
So I never even see the link to "license" again, unless I choose the Welcome page again.

5) Captions are hard to read over the background. My wish would be for a way to make it blank the picture behind the caption.
Or even a chosen-color background for the caption.

6) Your Forum is a good solution to the support issue, but how is a new user to know that

is the head honcho and a fine person to get answers from ?

7) Your F1 help is great in some ways. But it's also way too fancy in some ways. Simple text that can be searched and
scanned has many advantages over bubbles that don't show up until you put the cursor over a spot on the page. That's a neat trick and helpful in some ways, but not in others.
It can't for example, be printed out and kept handy while trying to work with the program.

8) My point about mindset is that programmers forget what it is like to come into a program cold, with a different mindset and no previous knowledge of how the program works. We don't
realize that what's obvious to us just isn't to other people. We're in a hurry and tend to be much too cryptic, thinking ourselves clever.
One way to help that problem is to be a lot more verbose, especially in areas where your method or idea is unique, such as a 6-hour time limit. Or "browse" buttons labeled "...".
The tricky part is to do it without being annoying to the people who are more familiar with the program.

And of course,the other tricky part is finding the time to think of & write it all.

9)Your program does indeed have a lot of bang, and it isn't too hard to figure out most of it. But for my purposes the timeout I didn't know about caused me to waste a lot of time
trying to make the program do what I wanted.

It would have been much better for me if it had been a lot more obvious in several different places, and easier to find when I looked for it. And in fact, the time limit makes it not usable to fully test my concept.

So I have to pay for the license before I know the program will really do what I want.
Which defeats the purpose of having a free version in the first place. My case is probably unusual, of course. But in my case, the limit on your free version is too
restrictive.

A 30-day time limit with full function would work much better for me.
Even a week with full function, or a maximum number of uploads or a maximum number of files stored or almost anything but a 6-hour timeout would have been better for me.
Somehow I found just the right program on the web with just the right pothole for me to fall into. Ain't life strange ?

It’s difficult to be patient in an environment that is more suited to cultivating impatience than patience.

sse, you are the cultivator of patience.

Okay, I guess I need to be more verbose, just like I'm asking of you...
By using the word "blanked" instead of the word "blank", I meant to convey that the path I had set before disappeared. I set the path, used it for awhile, hit browse("...") to change it, decided not to, hit cancel, and no longer had
a path.
To me, this looks like a bug. Does it not seem so to you ?
