Paulo wrote the insertDirectory-functionality, so I guess he will answer your mail too. As for me, I have received a nice copy of the Reference Manual as a donation and in return, I will reserve some time in the months August and September to do a 'clean-up' of the code. I will not necessarily add new functionality, just add lots of comments and references to the Reference Manual, fix some reported problems and combine all the code that was sent to me and try to make it more 'readable', 'debugable',...
