This a nice remark for developers perhaps but I don't know how to access the "GTK-filepicker" and the user guide doesn't give me how to. Therefore this is not a solution. If you can divulge how this is accomplished I would be very pleased but would also suggest to mention it in the user guide. Moreover I always get somewhat annoyed when somebody thinks he knows all and says:"You usually should not need to mess around with the files in these directories". That's not for you but for me to decide. A designer/developer can never know what a user intend to do with a program. As (retired) head of a company that developed highly specific applications for the medical profession I think I know a little what I'm talking about. That's the reason why Linux programs are much better than proprietary programs. User input is the most valuable (and costless) asset for a developer. Joep
