We want PixPerAn english version

    The "Pixel Persistence Analyzer" (PixPerAn) program found in this forum is a very nice piece of software.
    I'm a programmer and know what I'm saying... ;)


    I suggest it to all people who want to test his LCD speed, but there is a small problem... we can't understand any writing. :D
    And I think is the same for prad english users.


    So please PixPerAn developer, everywhere you are, translate your beautiful software in english so we can appreciate it more and more...


    Thanks :]

    Hi miomao,


    It's me.


    Ok, I'll translate it. This evening even. But the manual (pixperan_anleitung.txt) is a bit much, i don't know if i can get that done today.


    Probably the translation will be far from perfect... ;)

    Hi miomao,


    pooh... that was more work as i expected...


    Sorry, i don't have enough time to translate the full manual text. Perhaps you can ask somebody else to grab the text file from the german version and translate it?


    At least i translated the program itself. If anything is translated too badly please let me know.


    Here is the link:


    Anybody knows where to get a legally water-proof legal statement? I don't want to be sued just for not choosing the right words for "use at your own risk".


    Of course PixPerAn does not _intend_ to kill your TFT. But it is a test program, and thus it displays animations which a "normal" program would not display. Many TFT's show "ghost pictures" for a while after showing flickering contents like in PixPerAn. On all TFT's i know those "ghost pictures" disappear after some time. But i heared of TFT's with "burnt in" pictures of desktops and menues. I don't doubt these TFT's were somewhat defective. But If something like this might happen with PixPerAn some bad day, i'd really like to be on the safe side.

    Use at/on your own risk is ok.


    Just write sth like:be aware! this is a test-programm, the author is not accountable for any damages.

    I not claim a so fast work... thanks very much. 8o


    The manual is not a big problem.
    I can try tro use a translator and refine the result if you want.
    But I hope to found someone with better english skill.


    For the legal statement I think you are right.
    Some people with poor computer experience can blame PixPerAn for a monitor factory defect... even if this not have any sense. :(


    Personally I not have the intention to spread this software everywhere.
    I frequent a italian newsgroup about monitors and users are already enough experienced.


    I believe a quick solution can be to put a message box with something like:


    "THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!"



    Now I run to try the new version... :))

    I have put my msg in the free.it.comp.hardware.monitor newsgroup with precautions and thanksgivings...
    So you can check that also italian prad fans make only good use of your work. ;)

    Buon giorno,


    come stai?


    The sentence doesn´t fit to 100%. Yours is good for ebay ;)



    ciao

    Hello together,


    Thanks for your feedback.


    Actually, in the PixPerAn_Readme.txt file there are already these two lines:


    " PixPerAn comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
    You may use PixPerAn solely AT YOUR OWN RISK. "


    I just was not sure if this is enough. Well, for any _sensible_ user, it should be. But i don't know too much about legalese...

    My sentence is only a sample, I don't know what's the better way...
    I also thought to a initial message box with a "I agree" button to continue and "I disagree"/"Cancel" to leave the program.

    Hello miomao,


    Thanks for your suggestions,


    Though, i'd prefer to keep the legal stuff out of the program, if it is possible. I hope it is enough if the legal statements are placed in the PixPerAn_ReadMe.txt


    Edit: Were the translations in the program OK? If you find any errors it would be nice if you could report them.
