Okay folks, here's a patch to allow users to start User Jobs from the Job Options menu just like you can do with transcoding and commercial flagging. I'm pretty confident that it works 100%, but please let me know if anyone runs into any problems with it. Also, please be aware that while I am very familiar with coding in C my C++ experience is VERY limited. This is, in fact, my first ever patch to C++ code so if there's some ugly code in there or something not done correctly please feel free to point it out to me - I'd appreciate the education. :) Brad
