Hi Hannes,


Thanks for the changes! I assigned the bug you just fixed to you, since

Thanks but don't worry! As long as things get sorted, doesn't matter who
does what :-)

It should also be a lot easier to implement the INDEX_COLUMNS keyword which
I had in my ui-additions branch. Sorry if the code doesn't exactly behave as
it used to, hope it's not too much of a bother.

We'll see when I get my pointer tomorrow. Not sure I will like it or how
useful it will be. I went for this one:
http://www.digitaldaffodil.co.uk/remote-presenter-with-mouse-timer-p-438.htmlbecause
it seems to have more buttons than the other August ones on that
site... I'll write a wiki review when I'm done playing with it (if I can get
the sand out of my camera!!).

Thanks, I did one last change tonight but it's good to go. I'm actually
having a look at Marc's code now to sync both branches. I'm using winmerge
and... so far so good. There might be a few shortcut functions I wrote which
could also help with Marc's code, that's why I wanted to sift through the
code myself. Hope this is OK. In any case, version 70 of my branch is "the
good one" (minus Marc's changes).

No problems, my thoughts exactly! Like I said, I will have a go at the
INDEX_COLUMNS code, just on the grounds that the index view does look nice
on a widescreen, but I can't think of anything else I would want to mess
with right now.

Cheers,
