Wikipedia: Comparison of file managers

It says: US$69.95, €49.95 full $42.95, €29.95 home
It should simply say: €29.95
Lifetime prices and Home version prices are not relevant in this table.
Please, if someone of you has the time, fix this. Thanks!

Re: Wikipedia: Comparison of file managers
I hate to disagree but I will because you do have two options (at least) for price so disclosing that there are options here is relevant...if you only want one price, it should be the highest one because listing the limited feature Home vers price would be felt as deceptive advertising to some...so that's why I believe it should remain as is...either that, or use the lower price BUT also have the "Home vers" literal...and not showing USD is a problem for us who aren't used to Euro's so keeping both is needed.admin wrote:It says: US$69.95, €49.95 full $42.95, €29.95 home

Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

But, of course, I totally disagree. This table, indeed the whole page, is about comparison. There is one main standard product and price with XYplorer, and that's the version called "Standard Professional" and priced €29.95. It's confusing and misleading to put the price for the Lifetime License here. Most of the competitors listed do not even have a Lifetime License. Most software existing does not have one. It's a totally exotic product which should not be in that list. OK?

Hummm...now that does make some sense...did you see my edited post? The basic edit was:admin wrote:But, of course, I totally disagree. This table, indeed the whole page, is about comparison.

"either that, or use the lower price BUT then also have the "Std Pro" literal...and not showing USD is a problem for us who aren't used to Euro's so keeping both is needed." (I said Home vs Std Pro first) because that gives the info like x2 that two+ vers exist.

OK, that's fine: € 29.95 (US$ 42.95)
Keep it fair and simple!

Re: Wikipedia: Comparison of file managers
Take a look at my edits there -- I saw from page history that someone had recently added "US" to price so that when you sort by that column, it does it properly so that's how I kept it...and having the "Std Pro vers" gives it that added touch so that people will look for and investigate other vers options as well, I believe.admin wrote:OK, that's fine: € 29.95 (US$ 42.95)

Re: Wikipedia: Comparison of file managers
Thank you, much better. But I would rather remove the "Std Pro vers", it's an unnecessary complication that will just confuse people.j_c_hallgren wrote:Take a look at my edits there -- I saw from page history that someone had recently added "US" to price so that when you sort by that column, it does it properly so that's how I kept it...and having the "Std Pro vers" gives it that added touch so that people will look for and investigate other vers options as well, I believe.admin wrote:OK, that's fine: € 29.95 (US$ 42.95)

Re: Wikipedia: Comparison of file managers
Don't want to be arguementative but it is made necessary by the mere fact that you do have more than one license pricing option available so disclosing which option that price refers to becomes important..not having it there implies that all licenses are same price which is untrue...plus, I think anyone inteligent enough to need/use XY is smart enough to recognize that by having that there, you're saying "look at my website for that and other price choices"...if that comment will confuse them, they need to keep using Win Expl!admin wrote:But I would rather remove the "Std Pro vers", it's an unnecessary complication that will just confuse people.

Re: Wikipedia: Comparison of file managers
I have no time to continue arguing. I was asking a favor, you (half-)did it, so thanks. It's much better now than before.

Re: Wikipedia: Comparison of file managers
BTW, I changed (actually lowered if you pay in dollars or pounds!) the prices today to adjust for current international exchange rates. Additionally, in an attempt to create something irresistible and catchy, I further lowered the EURO price for the standard professional license from 29.95 to 24.95 with the effect that the dollar price dramatically went down from US$ 42.95 to US$ 29.95!!!
