Yes, I understand all this. And I told you in the very beginning that
I thought Valentina had a lot of powerful features, but things needed
polishing up. I am not anti-Valentina. As others have said on this
list, you would attract more paying customers if your product was
easier to implement, and this comes from having more polished software.

I have been subscribed since the day we purchased the license. The
discussion simply wandered off-topic over here. I will try to do
better about keeping the discussion where it should be.

We got into Valentina believing that the VStudio would be a quick way
of "learning" the ropes of programming Valentina. As it turned out we
never got VStudio to work reliably/consistently. I guess I'm just
saying to you that VStudio is the graphic representation of your
server product, and that's the first thing that a lot of people and
new users will have their first experience with Valentina.
