At present you must choose one of "All pages", "Only odd" or "Only even". In addition, you can set for each of those the page range from/to. That is what I found very strange and bad design. What means: "All pages, from 4 to 17" ? Okay, you may have a case by asking, what means: "All pages, with Odd pages only"? But this is not so strange. You may want "All pages, but odd only", or you may want "page 4 to 17, but the even only". That's why I made the "odd/even pages only" as independent check buttons, and only toggle between "All pages" and "Pages: from/to". I must take care of preventing the selection of both, odd AND even pages only. That's indeed a weak point of present layout; but it's still much better than the one before, I believe. Does all that make sense to you? Rob.
