Hi Geoff, I'm using p600 on Linux and tested the new formtool, but I actually have different problems with the formtool, logged as:
https://farcry.jira.com/browse/FC-2409 https://farcry.jira.com/browse/FC-2410 https://farcry.jira.com/browse/FC-2411 I don't know why the formtool not really working in my enviroment, but I think, that the formtool is generally a great peace of work and should be placed in 6.0.x maintenance branch.
