Interesting suggestion - bug I must agree, it is not an overly iportant feature. But: Put it as a feature request into the bug tracker - then it won't be lost. Then all comments can be there and one could work out a framework how this could work - I like the "different templates for filename" an interesting approach, which could even be used for backups (keep the last three backups, named following the template provided). Nice idea - but not that important. So: Add it to the bug tracker as a feature request then it will not be lost. Rainer > > Regards, > > Walter > - -- Rainer M.
