Hi Oliver,

I just wanted to complete the QLGT vs. QMS features list, not to claim
for whatsoever. But of course I added the features I miss, some more,
others less.

I agree not to implement image creation. But there are still lots of
people with an Etrex HCx crossing frequently country borders and
therefore need a single gmapsupp.img covering regions in two or three
countries.

When I prepare a cycle tour I create a track for each day. This gives me
a simple way to know distance and altitude per day. I put these stage
tracks in a project folder and arrange them in the right order in the
workspace, in order to find them easily and to have them printed in the
right order in the roadbook. As soon as I close the folder the sorting
order is lost. Having the possibility to sort the items in a folder in
alphanumeric order would help a much.

I know what I would have chosen: a sed command, an awk scipt, a perl
script,... But we should be aware that not all QMS users are geeks
like us ;) Anyway, this is low priority.
