Well, I've mentioned it earlier in this thread, though without a link. It's the time when several of us are off-line for a couple weeks. I've also mentioned it in the thread about filtering by remote.

On a side note, the list here usually does require people to search back, and much longer than this, on frequently requested issues. But how does a newcomer discover "frequently"? Right, by searching back years, not months.

I don't care about the names, but I'd hate to introduce more inconsistencies. The implementation is a non-brainer, it's really something only Apple could get a patent on. The other Michael and I came up with basically the same patch because it follows "automatically". But the ui is important.

So I'll take the opportunity and discuss this further in the cover letter for the upcoming series.
