I like it a lot. "plus" has a ring to it.

If you want, I can merge kdenlive, vmfx and oldfilm into plus while I'm at it. I think this will make the world a better place. ~Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
