Here users from all over the world gather around to learn the latest about Chevereto and contribute with ideas to improve the software.
Please keep in mind:
to help you more, maybe you could add similar method on free version if you haven't already? since free is free and there you should then force this to be shown, while paid ones will be as it is now that you can choose to have it or not.View attachment 3832
- Adds "Powered by Chevereto" in user settings
It now shows the Chevereto pride to every user.
For some this may be controversial, but to keep the software development I need to sell it and in all these years (about 14) the existence of the software has never been promoted to end-users, which ignore the existence of Chevereto. This has caused a very negative effect in terms of that the software is widely used but still very unknown. Add on this a situation that got me upset which is the fact that is getting recurring to see re-branding on the generator/files to put something else, remove my copyright and going against the license agreement. I kindly remind you that a license grants access to the software not to say that my work or the modification of my work is totally yours.
The core value of Chevereto is to provide image sharing for everybody, to stop anyone from being the monopoly in image hosting. To remove the software brand goes against that goal as it depends on the end-user high curiosity to discover the software or even the self-hosted world.
If this branding is an issue I could consider a recurring fee to enable those with deep pockets the luxury of hiding the brand. Let me know if you are interested in this to consider offering such licensing.
Free version has a persistent upgrade button on admin user menu and it will get the same "powered by" introduced in V3.19. Both editions will end up having the powered by in user settings, no more powered by on the footer neither the toggle option on dashboard.since free is free and there you should then force this to be shown, while paid ones will be as it is now that you can choose to have it or not.
This looks much better. ๐View attachment 3852

Does it mean that 3.19 will not release next month? or we will get 3.20 insteadGoing to release a beta from this point.
Due to the version re-versioning it will skip right away from v3.19.0.beta.3 to v3.20.0.beta.1.
