That's what I have, Automan. Say, do you remember the old series called Automan? I loved it!

  I use Impulse and I see DesktopX not DesktopX Pro.  The verison of DesktopX Impulse shown is 3.50.060 last updated 8/5/08.

I hope this information will help.  You can also right click on the upper left qlobe of Impulse and chose the update option or

preferences.

I have OD Ultimate and I thought DesktopX Pro as a component.  Impulse also shows DesktopX 3.50.060-8/5/08.  My problem is when trying to export a widget that I made as a gadget, I get this error message.  What's up?  Is Standard or Pro included with OD Ultimate?

DesktopX Pro is a seperate purchase. DesktopX may come with ODNT Ult. but in it's basic version. I have Pro, but Impulse shows me DesktopX.            .Pro costs a little more than the standard.

OK, the full price of ODNT DX Pro is like $70.00.  Is there a discounted upgrade price for OD Ultimate users?

You think that is steep Angus. When DX Pro was first released it was well over $400. I had my employer purchase it.

The next year (I believe) the price was lowered to this.

It's not a hobbyist price tis true.  But when you can create erally complex apps that don't need an external engin you can sell themand recoup your cost easily.

Phoon . . I remember those days.  The wife was NOT interested in allowing that.  However . . when it dropped I was able to use the argument that is was 3.5(x) and now it was "only (x). 

 

 

 

 

I still wasn't allowed to buy it of course . . .

That's easier to say than for you to type...lol! This is true, but I have yet to recoup anything. But I haven't tried.

Costs a bit, when you're in another country, with a lower dollar value.

Latest version of DesktopX STANDARD in Impulse: 3.50.060

Latest version of DesktopX PROFESSIONAL in Impulse: 3.50.016

Different version numbers for different products.

 

DesktopX Pro is definitely not a product for the light user or hobbyist.  The fact that you can create a gadget and export it as a standalone application, that doesn't require DesktopX to be installed on the machine to run, makes it a pretty powerful application development platform.  This is what gives it the steep upgrade price.

I currently have pro. At what point do I face the choice to renew, or keep the old version I own?

The version you have is good forever.  When DX 4 rolls out you have teh choice of upgrading or not.

My Birthday is coming soon. Is there a DX 4 Pro coming in the next year?

Jim is pro worth it? I for one, like you will never try to sale anything. But sure would be nice to make a stand alone sidebar gadget for everyone. I still get requests for them but pro always looks so pricey to me.

Jim I just got an idea. Have your wife buy it for me. lol   Me jealous. You have a supporting wife.

May be i can beg my wife for it for my Birthday. Yup sounds good to me.lol

This is what I was thinking, really not a bad deal.

 

Don, if you want to make standalones, it is well worth it. But, worth is a relative term. What seems "worth it" to me may be outrageous to you. I would love to have one of those three monitor systems, but in this economy, at this time, It is not worth it to me just to have 3 screens. My 26" HDTV will have to do...lol.
