Let us see. One problem you reported about 64-bit compatibility, I responded and fixed.
Another time you were agrieved because EDSharp says "Exit EdSharp" when you press Alt+F4 (even though it selectively voices a number of commands), ratherthan being silent, and even though it is difficult to believe that a short notification about an application closing is a productivity drain..
Another time you charged that all "conversions" were broken in EdSharp and FileDir. Upon investigation, the only thing that was broken was a particular web client utility because it uses a scraping methid, and Google had changed its response to certain queries on its front page. EdSharp and FileDir do many conversions that are working successfully, yet you implied a sweeping, global problem. Even so, I informed you of a way you could generally get the same results with a FileDir feature that you had not tried, evidently because you are habitually quicker to accuse than to read documentation.
The problem is generally not whether you write me directly or post on a list. It is your judgment about when there is actually a problem. Post anything you want on public lists and let others be the judge of who is being reasonable. I am not trying to pick a fight, however, just defending myself against largely baseless attacks from someone who is capable of doing better (at least I still believe that).
Rather than apologizing for any of your mistaken accusations, you persist on attacking. It is up to you, but that is not a recipe for finding support from others.

What exactly is seriously lacking in legitimacy? Do you want me to post the many email messages I sent you privately with my concerns with the high number of errors FileDir and EdSharp are producing? You have the error logs, look through them and tell me I'm making this up. Heck, I can easily recreate them. Just say the word and I'll post them here. I'm not here to do any programming. you sent me here to get other listers to help me address the errors generated by FileDir and EdSharp. All I was trying to do is help you improve your product and this is how you act? Good bye!

That has been the pattern, unfortunately. I advise you to do some introspection if you want to be a constructive participant in the programming community.

It was you who directed me to this list because you felt I was bugging you too much in regards to issues with EdSharp. I'm sure if you look in your previously sent email messages you will find lots of messages where I have specified in great details the number of crashes and errors generated by EdSharp. FileDir has many of these same problems too. Rather than taking this approach why not do as another poster stated and establish some communication with Malwarebytes and hopefully this will no longer be a problem for EdSharp.

They are 32-bit executables that I compiled with a reputable compiler, PowerBASIC, published by a commercial software developer that has been in business for a long time, http://powerbasic.com IniForm.exe is a utility that JAWS scripts called to create dialogs via configuration files in ini format, since the JAWS scripting language does not include support for user-created dialogs. SayLine.exe and SayFile.exe are utilities that speak text via any screen reader, part of the SayTools package that is available at http://EmpowermentZone.com/saysetup.exe with documentation at http://EmpowermentZone.com/SayTools.htm I suggest that you replace your anti malware program with a better one. It has unnecessarily disparaged a good application (EdSharp). I know you did not intend that to happen. In fact, it is understandable that you would be concerned about such warnings from a program that was claiming to protect you.

I'm running the Pro version of MB. Most probably run the free version which does not run in background and therefore probably doesn't generate this warning.

I found a reference to IniForm.exe in one of your messages. That is an executable I compiled with PowerBASIC. I would be shocked if it contained malware. There about 36 web client utilities that perform various tasks via the web. It actually does not surprise me that an over zealous malware detector would flag a few of them. Since this is the first that anyone has reported this to me, I doubt that other anti malware products are finding them suspicious. I run Nortin, myself. Jamal On 8/5/2011 6:45 PM, Andre Williams wrote:You're actually right when you convey your experience with multiple warnings. I ran a more targeted search on the c:\program files Ed sharp\webclient folder and received warnings about 3 webClient files just as you described. Though I'm thinking of putting these files on the ignore list, it would be interesting to know what they are and why they trigger malware to want to quarantine.
