Hi David; you're not alone complaining about the changes, in the meantime Tom changed the default in 4.4.20.1, so in the latest packages I commited yesterday everything is as it was (at least it should be). :) Anyway, *I* always liked the well-documented configuration files in the early releases (2.x), but get used myself to read the manpages instead. sorry for the noise. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
