Hi Elijah, don't worry, no rush. I wouldn't have the chance to have a look at it if you would have published quickly, I just started a new job and I'm putting more effort on office activity since I'm at the beginning :P Once ready, just fill a new issue on Jira and attach the patch - we will start a new thread discussing about it :) Looking forward to hear from you soon, have a nice vacation!!! All the best, Simo
