Also if they can be used, an example is needed in the documentation. This could be in place of the removed device Alternatively, a flag could be added to devices that specifies that they need to be called from the main thread This flag could switch tools which want to support this into single threaded mode, if it doesnt fit naturally in their architecture. While tools not supporting it could simply fail with a "unsupported" message thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB No human being will ever know the Truth, for even if they happen to say it by chance, they would not even known they had done so. -- Xenophanes
