Codo (ID: 0000008c5f2aeaa7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/27/2023 Hi, I find the tool the best. And I can understand why you delete the DB. It makes more sense that way without a database. I also don't have my credentials anymore and hope that my DB will be deleted with it then. (-; But I still support financially your tool, because it is perfect and I hope for the further development. But please only the static. Cheers and shift down a few gears. (-;
