This is nice. Thanks for the idea, I will implement that in qgit when I find a bit of time :-) Regarding your proposal I really wish you good luck and especially "have fun!!!" For me it is like to trash out 95% of the stuff and start again from zero because of the last 5% is missing (but I can add it anyway with much smaller effort and time spent). I understand the main reason, as per any GPL project, is having fun and good time coding and exchanging ideas with peers, but I really lack time and I am now moving to different interests. So, thank you very much, but I think I'll stick with qgit. Best Marco
