COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS... about the beta release and new version
================================================
Q. Are there any known problems with the BETA version?
A.<here.
--------------
Q. Why is the "new" design so ugly?
A. <Q. Can I use the BETA software to edit "live" webpages on my website?
A.<BETA releases of the software are expected to be fairly stable... but they also
*might*<Q. Can I use my current License Key with SnippetMaster version 2?
A. No. The system of licensing is now completely different. You will need to register for a new license. Please see the instructions for registration of a BETA license here.
--------------
Q. The source code is encrypted! What's up with that?
A.<Q. I want the ability to edit/change ALL the templates -- not just the header and footer.
A. I'm afraid that isn't going to be possible for a while longer. I tried to make the system as "flexible" as possible, however I'm afraid it just isn't possible right now for me to "open up" the middle template for editing. Eventually, I am hoping to allow this... but it will not be for a while. (ie: Until after the new design/layout is finished and I have seperated the "program code" from the "presentation code".)
As a side note, it IS possible to change all the colors and some styles by editing the styles.css file in the "/templates" folder.
--------------
Q. Will my BETA license continue to work once SnippetMaster version 2 is released?
A. <Q. Is there a way I can automatically upgrade all the "snippet tags" in my files to use the new tag format?
A.<Q. Does the BETA version contain all the final version features?
A. No, the final version will probably contain a few extra features that I am still working on now. Additionally, my goal is to develop SnippetMaster into a great piece of software that meets everyone's needs.. thus, I am certainly interested to hear about any suggestions, improvements, and feature requests you have.
--------------
Q. What will happen to the old SnippetMaster version 1?
A. Once version 2 is released as a stable version, I will begin the "closure" of support for version 1. I will make an announcement about how support for version 1 will be "phased out" over a period of time.
--------------
Q. Will you still offer a free LITE version?
A. Yes. I believe in free software that is highly useful. I intend to always have a free version available that meets the needs of most users.
--------------
Q. Is the price for the PRO version going to go up?
A. <Q. When will SnippetMaster version 2 be suitable for use on my live production website files?
A. Once BETA testing is completed and I have released a fully stable version to the public... then it will be suitable for live production use.
