Giuseppe, don't get me wrong, but who cares about that GMail stuff? We
are talking about XArchiver.
As already mentioned I also think this Gmail comparison isn't really
suitable or at least not necessary. As Stephan said why should do the
same bad (IMO) things as others?


I'm not against the 'Thanks to' list at all but I think this really
should appear in the Help menu or in the About dialog.
It really looks very strange next to the Help menu in the main menu.

Additionally, I agree with Christoph that the list of people or at
least the URLs of these people should be on a website and not hardcoded
in the program, regardless of what GMail* do.


Just my 2cents.


Regards,
Enrico
