Implementing this is indeed probably easy for somebody who needs it. The only thing to watch for is that it should be selectable on a per-inset basis. >> i'm nearly sure that if you come up with working patch the status of >> the bug would be irrelevant. imho the fact that the bug remained 5 >> years unchanged without anybody CC-ed just shows that there is small >> probability that this feature will ever happen regardless the bug >> state... > > Point taken.

We already have some mechanisms to tell that we intend to work on a bug, like setting milestone to 1.6.x for example. So in my view closing a bug because nobody is doing it is not useful. JMarc
