If you don't have the programming language understanding as you say, how could you know how difficult is some software development?

How interesting - you have paid a 'donation' for a different script tweaks. Look at that. I have spent months of my free time to develop the script(s) that you are using and you never asked me how could you donate to me, even after you could clearly see from the download pages of my add-ons that they are not freeware but donationware.
I spent hours of my time to answer to your numerous request giving you Magic Nodes' masks and RegExp presets (which are sometimes mini programs by themselves containing VBScript or SQL expressions), but you never asked me to donate, sometimes you even didn't give me a simple thanks. Sometimes you didn't even try the suggestions that I have posted - here is my answer to your requests posted in another thread:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 09#p317909, and then here you are asking again for the same requests in this thread:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 77#p318277.
I am the only one who responded to your requests with the actual Magic Nodes' masks, but still you said here (
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 14#p321414): "I have had some FANTASTIC help from others getting some new types of Magic Nodes created. Below are several that were created for me (so give others credit not me)." You know, I am not the "others". I have a name, it is Zvezdan. Why don't you want to give me a full credit for all help that you got from me?
Take a look at the thread that you titled as "
Paying for IMPORT M3U Script help". I posted a solution for that problem (
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 83#p209683), but you didn't even give a thanks for it, until you tried it several months after that when I haven't been active in MM forums anymore. Even then you didn't ask how could you donate for that solution.
And still you have a nerve to ask for something which is in fact no less than spell checker, claiming that it is an easy task. Oh well.

ZvezdanD - I am not sure why I am upsetting you. I have TRIED to show my appreciation for your help that you have provided and explain my situation in each situation. I am NOT trying to intentionally upset you. I respect your time and skill and patience. I have tried to make that clear from the start.

Reply: I have a basic understanding of HOW programming languages work, but do NOT have the actual knowledge of the specifics which would have been required to create the scripts that you provided me. Which I GREATLY appreciated. My original request was based upon the fact that a similar query (via the Duplicate Report) was available and had hoped that it a similar query was available in the Magic Nodes script. But once you clarified how difficult the query would have been to generate then I knew that Magic Nodes was NOT the correct script to use for my request.

Reply: Up until NOW, I .. NEVER knew that the add-ons were 'donationware'. And I did not have any indication you were expecting a donation, nor how much time each script request was going to take you to create. My apologies if I 'wasted your time'. I will refrain from making other script requests without first inquiring how much it will cost in the future. I have not know other 'forums' where requests required a 'payment' (nor donation), and just assumed the forum was a 'help' forum. My original donation was done via PM once I knew the forum would not be able to provide a solution.

Reply: Again my apologies. I did not intentionally mean to exclude you from my attempt at giving Zvezdan FULL credit. I just figured it was a given that anyone who was following the thread would have know it was YOU Zvezdan who provided the scripts.

Reply: My apologies again. The first thread
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 09#p317909 title was Intro/Outro
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 77#p318277 title was Magic/Nodes
So I did not noticed your original reply to my request, thus my subsequent request and my APOLOGY for not noticing the original reply.

Reply: Again. It took a long time to eventually find success with the script. And I thought I was 'trixmoto' script that I was editing, not yours. Although now I see you offered a solution. It was trixmoto that received the donation for the eventual 'fix' that he provided. I am not sure why your fix did not eventually resolve the problem (despite my post that it worked in the thread), my time line shows that I still contacted trixmoto for a solution for which I donated.
Quote: And still you have a nerve to ask for something which is in fact no less than spell checker, claiming that it is an easy task. Oh well.
Reply: I still do not see my request as a 'spell checker'. It is a 'title comparision' request. Finding the spelling errors is the easy part (which is what I meant), but finding OTHER titles that are CLOSE but NOT exact is what I am requesting. And it only seems EASY because the Duplicate Report script seems to do a similar comparision, but it does not only work on titles. (as far as I can determine). I have contacted whom I thought was the current creator, but they are no longer scripting anymore, nor using MM.
So in summary. Again I appreciate your help, talents and especially patience, if you have a 'donation amount' in mind please PM me. Thank you for your time.
