Hello Nyall, Oh, I am well familiar with the vicissitudes of getting work done in open source projects - It's why I have donated to many opensource projects over the decades that I have been using them, including QGIS. But just telling people "go fix it yourself" is not helpful. To be frank, it makes me wonder if I should have made that donation elsewhere rather than making me willing to contribute to the project by trying to fix a bug or two instead. How do I know that I wouldn't just get another snarky brush off were I to ask for help because my lack of familiarity with the QGIS codebase and the Qt framework?
