1.31 Editor
Archiver

I've just tried to install version 1.31 of the Stamp Editor. During
the install process, the installer attempts to download another exe
file from the internet. I HATE THAT! I'm sorry but I really loathe
that practice. I think it's invasive and potentially a threat to my
computers security. Luckily my firewall blocked the download. Now
really, why does the installer need this extra file to be downloaded?
Poor coding? Or some sort of spyware? Is it really so hard to include
all the necessary files in the initial download? Can somebody at
Parallax please do something about this?
sincerely,
Paul Lugger

Just my luck - 5 minutes after I sent the above I find out that it's a
windows component that needs the file. Sorry guys.
