Interesting this.
Could you detail how those options would work?
Meaning how the user should enter those infos? I will leave this as an important feature but as I keep saying: don't expect it to be ready so very soon. Development is quite still because I can't find much time and I have nobody to help me.

Thanks a lot. :)
Great description. I have to think a little bit about this but I think it's not too hard to implement and, therefore, quick. If it is, I will insert this in the next release (whenever I manage to do it).

Friendly,
Hugo
