Josbe Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 @RomanK: IMO, bad start, though you earn credits with their work, you lose confidence in another side. This kind of things makes many refuse to download an executable in this forum. If you don't want provide the source it's your right, but don't lose the trust by the curiosity. At least I think it's more valious. BTW: The video demo, looks nice. AUTOIT > AutoIt docs / Beta folder - AutoIt latest beta
James Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I agree the video looks amazing, impressive AutoIt work, but there is no way I am downloading this if it sends screenshots to you, I have a lot of personal information on my desktop, my wallpaper, my MSN conversations which do have passwords on for my website members and not to mention my business stuff.

MerkurAlex Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 @TehWhales rant I personally don't care if someone doesn't trust me that does not give them the right to decompile I or any other developer's work without permission if you/someone don't trust him DO NOT use it @RomanK You should have mentioned before it is sending you a screenshot and info of the computer before releasing it but at least you were honest and its not excessive but you should make a new installer without this in it so some people will feel more secure.

Wus Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) So what's the take-home message from this? (Obviously only my humble opinions) - Don't post an exe unless you understand/accept that it will most likely be decompiled by someone... for good or ill. - Don't run a program unless you trust the source fully... and don't whine if you decide to trust it and find that it does things you didn't expect. - People don't appreciate having screen-shots sent away without their knowledge. To end, I'd like to say that the video makes this look very nice. It's easy to tell that you spent a lot of time on this project and it turned out very nicely. Kudos. By the way, TehWhale, your an idiot. It seems, at least on the surface of things (to me), that although somewhat misguided, the OP has his heart in the right place and spent a lot of time on this project. He offered it to the community and you're being a douchebag to him. Edited December 21, 2008 by Wus

He offered it to the community and you're being a douchebag to him.Literally, his main application is 91 lines long. From what I see it's just a few icons and a GUI. He offered it to the community with a form of "spyware" in it. That's why i'm a little upset.I still use this program as it is great, I am just using a modified version provided by someone else.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted December 21, 2008 Moderators Posted December 21, 2008 After reading this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=619488Read this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=619505 Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
