In any event, thanks for the heads up. Thanks and sorry for any inconveniences! I withdraw my nomination of VSO Image Resize, see my message just posted in the nomination thread. The other program I said had a nag screen, Lightbox Free Imgage Editor, turns out OK after all. There is a very small checkbox in the lower left corner of the initial "use freee version or trial version" screen where you can choose not to see the screen again. This have escaped me all the times I have used this app, where I have simply pushed the much larger and centered "use the free version" button. -- All the best, Bjorn S. - I only post via <news.individual.net> or <news.broadpark.no>!

If its okay - I retain my second. Sometimes I deliberate the difference bewteen nag and non-nag - though it is a minimal interruption, is it still a nag - I'm happy to leave it to a 'vote' Cheers Tommy

I did not withdraw my nomination for Lightbox (which you seconded), only VSO Image Resizer. Lightbox is ok, has a small checkbox in lower left side of the initial startup screen where you can choose not to see that screen again. In other words not having to push a button to get to the free mode next time you run it. Once you've done that a message states that if you later want to use the trial mode/full version, you must uninstall and reinstall the app again, since from now on the app will only run in free mode. See? -- All the best, Bjorn S. - I only post via <news.individual.net> or <news.broadpark.no>!
