Interesting, I'll pass on your comment/observation to CyberLink.

"Hanuman" and such, has been part of a "name" used in PowerDirector for many years. Check: PDRHanumanSVR.exe

I recall the need at one time to change the Hanuman name to PDRHanumanSVR.exe as some anti-virus software were homing into the hanuman name.

I asked CyberLink Support about that. Here is their response... :O

Thanks S Malik for providing what online support replied to you. I have forwarded everything to CL. Do you have a support ticket number?

Hi S Malik -

Man! I thought I was a bit anal about language! You may need to broaden your perspective a little.

The word "Hanuman" (monkey god) is used all over the place in completely non-religious/non-Hindi contexts. Here in OZ, in Darwin, there's a restaurant by that name - http://www.hanuman.com.au/

How about this rainforest adventure? http://www.flyinghanuman.com/
or this travel agent? http://www.hanuman.travel/
or this plane? http://www.mcp.com.au/xair/aircraft_models/hanuman/hanuman.html

If it really bothers you, you're going to need to send off a mountain of emails

Cheers - Tony

And it's also well known that much of the coding for software like PD and a few of it's competitors are done in India. It's been that way for many years. Win 10, i7

it is like how CyberLink knows you've been bad or good...
or it is like a overly attached girlfriend... he he.

I love the story, Journey to the West!

Happy New Year. Year of the Lamb. maaaaaa... 'no bridge too far'

I don't know what you talking about. Are you trying to prove that is is not a religious name? You are wrong. Majority of the Hindus are very sensitive to their religion and they're not going to like this.

I was not questioning the origin of the word at all. I was just pointing out some of the other current uses of the word - on shop fronts and websites, not buried away in the coding files of a piece of software where barely anyone looks.

I also wasn't being derogatory about anyone's beliefs. Simply pointing out that if anyone is offended by the use of the word you've described then there's a great deal more about which they'd need to be even more offended.

P.S. I modified that last sentence in case members were sensitive about sentences that end with prepositions.
