I should probably also clarify that I am speaking specifically with regard to the OpenBD Desktop tool. It is certainly possible that some of these things may have been covered in the nightly, but if so they haven't been added to the Desktop as it stands today. If I can get some time this afternoon, I will pull the nightly and see what's going on there. That said, I really like the way that the Desktop tool works, so I would *love* to see that stuff go in there.
