Don't then.
oliceman:
I don't care. Don't create the same thing in multiple threads. No one should have to switch back and forth between threads to follow a conversation. Drinkyleanddie replied to you in the 6.5.2.8 thread initially. Then he thought he made a mistake and posted in the 6.5.2.7 thread instead. That sort of confusion is unnecessary.
Webslinger:
In that case I apologize for creating any confusion - actually, my initial post (and DL&D's initial reply which I responded to in the relocated posts) was in the 6.5.2.7 beta thread. My main point is to get an answer from the developers, and because of the switch from the beta to the official release, the new thread seemed to be appropriate to voice my concerns. I will remain in this thread from now on as far as this topic is concerned. Hopefully Slysoft will respond here as well.

Honey and vinegar might work as an aphorism, but I have learned that a complaint has to be voiced strongly - this is not a "please, please" situation, this is a serious change to my system, for the reasons that I posted, which can be resolved by the simple expedient of offering a user-selectable option in the Settings dialog.
Comparing Cyberlink to Slysoft is not insulting, it is a statement of fact relating to changes to software and specific performance expectations without user input.
I am as loyal to Slysoft as most users on this forum, but this is a trend which needs to be thought about seriously. My investment in my equipment is worth a lot more to me than playing patty-cake just to be nice - I want an answer and a resolution.
I have sent a request (yes, a polite one) to Slysoft support through the ticket system about this - perhaps that is where I should have started in the first place, rather than venting my frustration in these forums.
In general, I humbly apologize for any aggravation caused, but this really got my goat - I have a serious investment at potential risk here, and the integrated powersaving is one of the protection mechanisms that I have in place. I already learned through bitter experience what burn-in can do to my system (read: replacement RGB tubes).
