Thanks, I hadn't seen that functionality yet (I suppose it's slated for 3.02). It does indeed look very useful. Thanks for the link. It would be really nice if more Box/Tiff source tarballs were released, so that extending existing training was easier. It would also likely result in people doing more 'grunt work' to do extra training, which would only be a good thing. I suppose the issue is fear of sharing copyrighted training images, but I do hope that can be sorted out sometime; they'd be very useful indeed. Thanks for all your help Zdenko.
