License window disallows ⌘V #20

Closed gkertai closed 1 year ago

gkertai commented 4 years ago

On the startup screen after a fresh install, pressing CMD+V to paste license information does nothing, but respond with an error beep. It is only possible to paste registered email and license code by using the Paste option in the right-click menu over the text fields.

This is a minor UX annoyance I suppose, but I see no reason to make entering license information more difficult.

Hi Gabor! I’ll look into this issue, but the easiest way to register is to simply click the green “Register Screen” button. Screen will automatically populate the information for you.

Hi, I am way past the download stage, no longer have that browser window open. I copied the downloaded zip to my editing system and this is the screen I get:

No more green button.

I realize this is not a high priority issue, just wanted to make sure that you are aware of it.

Understood, but you still need the browser window open to copy/paste your license! Or I guess you could store it in plaintext somewhere.

That's what password managers are for.

@gkertai The "Register Screen" button is always available on the download page, which can be accessed anytime from the email sent after purchase.

To give you some context: I edit many projects, and for each new project I install a fresh copy of Mac OS and related applications on an external bootable SSD. This helps keep the project consistent and independent of vendor updates even if I have to reopen it after several months/years. Basically I use a single computer booting a different OS/tools setup for each project.

Some of my projects are short-term (e.g. commercials), so I tend to set up a new project drive every month or so. During setup, I need to transfer licenses for my tools to the new system.

I realize now that for the Screen video player it's better to use the license URL (https://license.videovillage.co/download/…) than the name/key pair to do these reinstalls.

I leave this here for reference, maybe it helps other users in a similar situation.
