Greetings! This is just a followup to say that I've been using the patch for about two years now and have not noticed any trouble. I use the copying files functionality in vidir nearly every day!
If someone wants to take a more active role in maintaince and needs a hand, let me know. Regards, Mako <quote who="Benj.
