Hi Torsten,
Thanks for letting me know. I was so disappointed to find this thread, because I had assumed that the "sale of free downloads" would work in the obvious way. Now, I'm very undecided - Hikashop is the closest to what I want, but this problem makes it pretty well unusable. Pity.
So, do I buy it and assume that the functionality will arrive within a few days? Probably not - the fact that Hikashop aren't taking part in this conversation seems to suggest that, to them, this is not a high priority.
Best regards,
John
