Considering the fact that CopyPaste Pro 1.0.3 remains a public beta, the protocol during beta testing is to send all reviews, bug reports and suggestions to the developer. You can do that directly within the CopyPaste Pro interface, a great feature.

You do not post star ratings at VersionTracker, etc., for betas unless your point is to be a rude slammer. Star rating a beta makes zero sense. Once CPP is officially finished and listed by the developer as ready for prime time, blast away. Until then, I suggest that you please use your head. Ta.

(BTW: While I'm pointing out protocols, the developer's use of whole version numbers, "1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.3", for a beta release makes no sense either. Confusion is quite understandable).

Beta Testing Protocol - DCT

Yes... I agree when reviewing performance and bugs. But, when we're rating the overall new design (which is not considered to be an enhancement by most reviewers on this site) use of star ratings IS appropriate.

The interface of this new version is considered clumsy and poorly thought through compared to the previous release version based on recent comments.

The developer should be pleased with this early beta feedback and take note especially since this is beta and they have time to rethink the product direction.
