Finding on online shop window for apps (was Re: Awful quiet around here )

[Matthias Rebbe]

Normally i do sign all of my apps (even custom and inhouse apps) for Windows and Mac.  
Makes life easier. But to be honest, sometimes i forgot to sign, if i am in a hurry or i do not sign if i have not the time.
It´s not very time consuming, but sometimes even the time for signing is not there.  But i am trying to sign them later then.

But as i wrote, normally i do code sign them. 

For code signing Windows apps I´ve purchased a Comodo Code Signing Certificate from K Software (https://ksoftware.net <https://ksoftware.net/>)
because it´s much cheaper then buying from Comodo itself. 
Although KSoftware is the vendor, the needed verification process and the delivery of the certificate is done by Commodo.

For code signing Mac apps i am using the app AppWrapper with my Apple Developer certificate.
