There were many other problems, but like many other features of FileDir and
EdSharp. the tool that alerts the user to send the error log to the
developer does not work properly so this is why you didn't get the actual
error logs and only replied to my direct email messages to you. This of
course meant I wasted time there too going through the trouble of copying
the logs and emailing them to you. Again, I was trying to help you.
The Webclient conversion tool is still broken to this day. It is also this
web tool that is causing the Malwarebytes warnings.
About the 64 bit compatibility, I seem to distinctly recall offering to help
you experiment in order to get FileDir to run on a 64 bit Windows7 computer.
You told me that you are using a 32 bit machine and had never tested FileDir
on 64 bit. I graciously offered to help you come up with a solution for
this. How about an F'n thank you.
I can't believe this f'd up tone you're taking after I very, very nicely
only wanted to help you improve your product and now the real hole in you
comes out. You should have told me I was wasting your time and I could have
saved
us all lots of GD hassles.

Subject: Re: EdSharp has problems with Malwarebytes
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.
