I think we should:

1) move this discussion to the dev list (dabo-dev@leafe.com)

2) thank you for working on this!

3) add this as a ticket (trac.dabodev.com) - you need to register first

4) Make svn diff of your changes and attach to the ticket

5) I'll apply your patch from the ticket

I see no problem adding this to the dabo trunk.

Thanks again!
