"But you can make it into a shortcut and fire it off from that"
I ask because I want to know:
Can I make standalone programs in QM ? Can I distribute programs written in QM without QM instance, without QM environment ?

Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2006 12:17 pmI would like to add this feature (compile macros to exe files), but I afraid that it can reduce the number of registrations. Are the following conditions acceptable?
1. This feature is available only in QM version that costs $80.
2. When a compiled exe runs, it adds a shortcut to the QM website on the desktop. Or shows a splashscreen or something else.
Also, the minimal size of an exe file would be ~500 kB. Because it includes whole QM run time code. It is very difficult to include only what is really needed. I don't want to use additional run-time dlls.
The $80 version also would have all C++ header files converted to QM.

Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2006 3:16 pm-I would really like to see this feature in a seperate version.
-I absolutly agree with having a "Professional QM" version for $80. You may be able to charge even more than that.
-I think advertisment should be limited to a small fast splash screen.
-I don't think the minimal file size is an issue. Even the simplest programs now days are huge.

Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2006 6:56 pmi have a possible customer who should not see how i made it.
so in this rare case i need a qm exe which runs with no lead to qm.
maybe you should offer some kind of web compiling service.
upload your macro folder to a secured webform and choose the options you need.
removing banner -> qmpro + 10 euro
rewrite registry keys to custom -> 120 euro
prices are only examples

You could encrypt it or use the shareware macro functions

Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2006 7:16 pmi don't want this customer to know how and with which program my solution has been made.
i can't prove it, but someone similar to those company stole my php code for oscommerce.
that was something what took me some time to develop.

i found this one but i don't know who is the best to use in this area.
