Hi Ruslan,

is it possible to add the following improvements in the final version of
1.8.6 ??

COMMAND format:

adding an enhancement to the format string to get a fixed length for
field with fillin chars
Example: %[20] --> format field to max length of 20 and fills rest with
blank(right)
%[10] --> .. max length of 10, fills left with 0
%[5*] --> ... fills right with *
%[ 5.2] --> ... fills left with blank and set number to 2
decimals(rounding if necessary)
if field is longer it is truncated at right.


COMMAND ConvertFromRDB:

adding an additional parameter 'selection [selection or cursor]'
ConvertFromRDB field -- The ObjectPtr field.
rdb_key field -- KEY field of ONE table.
rdb_ptr field -- PTR field of MANY table.
-- [selection selection or cusor] -- apply the conversion only to
selected records

this would give us the possibility to apply this command(i love it) only
upon several new imported records and leave the others untouched.

Best regards,
Kurt Klamp
