Hi Len, Some nifty ideas, but non-trivial to implement. And I cannot make any kind of commitments in regard to adding new functionality. You (and others interested in such a thing) should consider opening a requirement for this type of functionality. If the demand is sufficiently high, that would weigh in favor of such a feature. But at this time, I do not see it on the horizon. (This is just my take.)

The command line is your friend. "Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
