Well, this isn't the first time you've made that statement. I figured you must have gotten the fork well along by now. Of course, if you're forking it anyway, you might as well share some of the code. (Hint.) You really *don't* want to do a private patch anyway. I've been down that road myself, and it's a nightmare trying to maintain my own little fork of a big package. I'm still using an ancient version of ls because I so love my little -O hack that GNU scoffed at, but just keeping the old code building on newer and newer systems is getting tiresome. > I said I would write my own patch privately if, and only if, > none of C, R, G likes the suggestion enough to want it to be logged on sf. Oh go ahead and log it. They're busy. We can fight about it later. FWIW I don't have a problem with your concept, but it sounds like a royal PITA to implement. More trouble than it's worth in spades and shovels from where I sit. Go look for yourself and see if you still think this is a trivial little feature massage. Plus I don't want to see the current erase tool change. I've been using it for two years, and I like it just fine. If anything, move the current tool to a "delete segment" tool, and do your swiss army knife eraser flummy as the eraser. I don't want to have to shift/alt/ctrl/whatever+click the eraser to erase an entire segment, and I don't want to have to drag the stupid thing from here until next Tuesday to erase an entire segment either. I want the tool I've always used right where I left it, working the way it always has; though I won't scream about it if you want to give it a different icon and call it something else. I don't think this is so ground-breaking that it couldn't be slipped in before 1.0, but I can assure you I don't have time or interest in doing it, and I have very little expectation that Chris or Rich have any interest in doing it either, and especially no time. Guillame is mostly lurking right at the moment, and I think you'll be waiting a long time for him to grab this as well. That pretty much means if you want it badly enough, send us a patch, and we'll review and consider it. Or else you can wait probably on the order of several months to infinity for it to show up. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
