I totally agree. Abe's mod is largely functional with a couple of unfixed bugs that are irritations but don't impede functionality. I was looking for a possible replacement as an alternative to those irritations.

But at this point, I neither need or want any of your Pro features. My only motivation for buying the Pro version would because I have to do that to get the importer. So, as vauge says, you are asking us to pay for something to find out if we can even make use of the product or if it improves upon what Abe has made available for free.

I also agree with an earflier comment that this is essentially a bait and switch operation, whether or not it contravenes vb.org rules.

This is a very poor marketing strategy, ij my opinion. And please do not add insult to injury by claiming that you are "not in it for the money". If you stand by that statement, add the importer to this version. Otherwise, it is clearly utter hogwash.
