Wow Luis! I just read through the description page for the new update and, once again, am blown away. I saw at least two things I was wishing for just last week listed! I don't know how you manage to put so much into this while working a regular job but I AM IMPRESSED! Thank you (and the team) again for all your hard work. Chris
