Thanks for taking a second look at this, Dylan. This carelessness with respect to the controls is like telling your corporate receptionist that she is irrelevant to the business and is just a pretty face. The settings panel and all the sub-pages are the opening shot when a new users or one who is upgrading gets his first impression of the software.
I've been a programmer for over 50 years and I think this kind of thing is unforgivable. I wouldn't do it, and there is no reason somebody who wasn't even a twinkle in his grandpa's eye when I started out should do it. I am pretty sure Ada Lovelace wouldn't do it either. If slight changes in the user interface in the system invalidates everything, it is time to talk about stability in the product. New version of the desktops [sic] is not an excuse to revisit the source code of every component under the sun (and under the moon too). If you can't get better programmers, I may have to come out of retirement. John C.
