Yep, not download "Binary", "Executable", "Package" or any of that non-sense (from user's perspective), just "Ready-To-Run Program", simple and clear, exactly what user wants when they open that page.
- dist-epoch 3y agoHave you tried clicking it? It takes you to a 2nd page where you select the OS. Then for me (Windows) to yet a 3rd page where I can chose the paid/free version. Clicking here on "Demo Version" takes you to the 4th page where you can finally download the setup binary. Which is an installer, the opposite of "Ready-To-Run"!!!
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoThe opposite of Ready-to-run is source code.
- croes 3y agoBut to get "Just download and run Ardour on your Linux, macOS or Windows computer." I have to click Ready-to-Run Program -> Download Ardour 8.0 for Windows 64 bit -> Download Demo -> Download Ardour 8.0 for Windows 64 bit (Demo) Each on a separate page, a little bit misleading because the first button already suggests a download
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoWhen we put it all on one page, too many people failed to understand the process. We can please some of the people all the time, but we can't please all the people all the time.
- croes 3y agoMy point is that three of four download buttons are links not download buttons.
