I have been using my own compiled version of a slightly later version than 1.1 that fixes the screen shotting F12

Is that fix in Mark's GitLab repo?

Yes 1.1.0 beta 2

Good.
His latest is marked 1.1.0 unstable 2 I assume that is what you mean.

Exactly

The manufacturers ought to be thanking him! If more patients are able to use CPAP effectively, they will use their machine and meet the compliance requirements; meaning that the manufacturers will get paid! Also, they will order replacement supplies regularly, and replace the machine when it's time to do so.

So far, the major manufacturers are ignoring Mark. He has hopes that with SleepyHead 2 it can be modular enough he can convince some to provide their own "plugins" for it. Time will tell...

Good points @Jas_williams and @D.H. Please show yourself on Discord and you will be part of the group that helps Mark in his identity crisis. And not only Mark Watkins, but a huge community of sleep apnea patients, looking for explanation and involvement in their cure. Please help and make it an even better program!

I contacted ResMed customer support, shared with them one of the reasons I chose ResMed was because it was supported by SleepyHead.

Perhaps if online Forums, groups and other SleepyHead users and developers also contacted CPAP manufactures encoring them to be open regarding their data formats for third party manufacturers they would realize it is a selling feature.

online petition?

Let us focus for now on Pholy's Project. For the moment I guess that we must help the community to gain new faith in SleepyHead and let Mark Watkins get thetrust again. We'd better later focus on helping Mark out, but only after we proved to be good and honest friends of him. Please come over to Discord @Dog Slobber

If I were a competent C++ programmer, I would have forked the code base *years* ago and fixed up all the little annoying bugs.

You don't have to be a competent programmer, while Pholy now makes a fork after I had a good talk with Mark Watkins, pleading that we will not alter or extend his version 1.1, just (for my sake) add the translations and kill bugs and make it an "interim" version for the community to regain trust in Mark's work.

Mark AGREED in us making a fork. We need your ideas over there @ Discord! He will be watching... And the ROW (Rest of the World) is waiting!

My comment was in response to prodigyplace's snarky "well, why don't you show us how to do it", comment.

You really don't understand how anything works, do you?

The manufacturers have already been paid by the DMEs.

All,

This was just posted on our Discord IM server from somebody who keeps contact with Mark:

Eh... just for the record. If someone feels the need to help Mark Watkins:
You may -PLEASE!- always donate to Mark Watkins: He is out-of-job for many years and has no income, nor build-up of pension... https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=Iu ... ocale.x=AU

If you have benefited from SleepyHead software, then it is time to reward Mark if you are able.

Please do not misunderstand @prodigyplace, please... He sometimes writes something different from what he means... He is really helpful, but a bit ...how do you say that in decent English... Eh... Snarky!
Please come over and join the gang, it's getting cosy on Discord...

I had a a discord acct before Mark decided to use it, it's a different name, set up for a different purpose. I've been lurking on the sidelines since last summer.
