2 versions, that would be a lot of work for Patchou, people would make the same mistake as they did with the sponsor: they click too fast, so maybe they will install the wrong version..if you don't like something in plus! you can always report it, and what KoalaBlue said :gfdrin:

I agree with KoalaBlue. I can't see any reason to make 2 versions. The version we all have is easy to use, and there are a lot of features, but its easy to remember the ones you need.

The only possible reason I could see for making a streamlined version of Plus is to reduce the size of the setup file. Its currently just over 2Mb, so even on a 56k modem, it won't take forever to get.

As for the registry options, they are very specific and 99% of users won't need to touch them. I certainly haven't :)

I also agree with KoalaBlue and Jeronimo.  I don't touch the registry either.  It makes absolutlely no differnce.  As for the reason, Jeronimo and KoalaBlue has said that clearly, so I will not bother to say it again.

Actually, It wouldn't be reduced much either: things that use most of the space are sounds and bitmaps, and Patchou won't do a separate version without graphics --- obviously (H). Btw, i guess 2.5 will have some kbs more because it has plenty of new graphics.
