"The average readme of a typical Poser addon is taken up with long lists of files included, but VERY LITTLE in the way of helping the user take advantage of what the product offers. I don't know whether it is laziness or sheer thoughtlessness, but what ever it is I feel developers should really pay more attention to putting themselves in the position of the head scratching user!"
Readme's here are strictly regulated about content and I know I always worry when I want to get creative in any way. We do put a bit about foibles, fixes and so forth in the use information but its one of those damned if you do damned if you don't situations. Put in scads of helpful details and you risk your product looking like its half assed compared to other products that have to have the same issues but no mention.
Seems like a better solution as customers is to push for an expectation of merchants adding a separate text page that includes those tips and tricks that are getting left behind. What sort of information would you be expecting? Sometimes its hard to figure out what your taking for granted as obvious and what the average user would really find helpful.
