Not to be too negative, but this suggestion is in the same effort range as the original one.
If you want to make it easier to use to the level you want it, you need to rewrite most of the source base anyway. Having two different interfaces also more than doubles the amount of bugs related to complexity of source code. i appreciate the input, but this is not realistic. if anyone thinks it is ... start submitting code. i will be delighted if i am proven wrong. Why don't you use Diva? bye andraz On Mon, 2006-07-31 at 07:09 +0300, Dimitrios wrote: > I can see what Jordan Nash is trying to say and i'm not going to be offended > by his email.
