Ok @Saq: will start another thread on this specific topic, soon as I get back to my desk.
Meanwhile: browsing related threads, i have come across this Streams to Text plugin <https://szen.io/stream/> ; can’t install on this mobile instance i am running, but would like to know if anyone has experience to share, and if it can accomplish something along the lines of what I’ve described. ? /walt On Monday, June 21, 2021 at 11:21:51 AM UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > @walt > > You’ve really gone the extra mile, Saq, to make this software >> customizable.
