Users who are accustomed to the old syntax may find it useful. I leave it for you to decide. I was thinking hard if I should name the current CreateLegacy as Create and then have another constructor for the improved / extended syntax. That would be more backwards compatible. I am happy with both solutions. Fortunately the backwards compatibility issue is not serious because the vast majority of masks are simple *.txt or similar and they keep on working. Juha
