Based on years of comments, I think a vast majority of users would support this idea, but I don’t know if it would even be possible. The original developer (Alcor) did most of the work to date, and he always refused to charge. I imagine we’d need his permission to make it a paid app, and I doubt we’d get it. Plus, who would we be paying? There’s a collection of volunteers that come and go and they contribute varying amounts. I’m sure donations would be acceptable, but an individual developer would have to get enough in donations (month after month after month) to safely quit his day job. I think the motivation is already there for a lot of developers, but the time isn’t. Money isn’t going to encourage what we already wish we could do. It would have to replace the thing that’s taking all of a dev’s time away.

Like what? Which version are you using? I’m still on ß54 and everything works except scopes for triggers and the Preferences window. Scopes were broken in 10.5 so I’ve learned to live without them for the most part, and after 6 years, I don’t need to go tweak preferences. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>
