Hey Felix, Well done for sticking with it...
I too came to Puredyne for Pd and am still discovering new things (Kdenlive for example means I don't have to rely on getting my lazy arse into the Uni where I'm based to do video documentation work, which is great). I think it's important to remember that Puredyne is run by a small group of people and relies on the community to pitch in, so any solutions you find, it would be great to share those too.
