Not knowing the intricacies of coding that, from an end user point of view, that method would be perfectly fine too (and does seem a little cleaner, even if a bit more disruptive codewise) In other words, I'd be grateful for this functionality - As an end-user, whilst my individual opinion doesn't really matter, I have no negative opinion on the various ways of achieving it - whatever works out best for you guys, and I'll be happy! Cheers!
