Hi, I'm not sure what the maximum is right now, between 10 and 20 but the point is that tomorrow a dataset could come along which has 50 or more parts. So having any fixed value, especially one which can only be changed by modifying the code itself, is a serious drawback although I assume you have a reasons why this limitation is necessary. It would, howerver, be great to have at least a global variable so one doesn't have to patch the code after each update. Cheers, Gu Quoting Markus Krötzsch <ma...@se...>: > On Mittwoch, 6.
