I don't have anything particular to say to this that isn't better said below, but I didn't want to ignore someone who was being so apologetic. ^_^

Understandable.
What the patch was supposed to do was actually add horizontal/vertical flipping capability when scaling an image to fit the screen. There are a couple of problems I saw with what I did, which I helf-expected comment on whether or not it was considered an acceptable patch; the lack of such is part of the reason why I wasn't sure it had been noticed at the time.
The other reason is that there was a five-day gap between my post and the next, and no response to the other (also thread-opening) post immediately preceding mine, such that I wasn't sure for a while if the list was even live.

The principle in that first sentence breaks down into nagging past a certain point, though. ^_^
I appreciate the attitude, and I thank you for your attention.
