Sounds reasonable enough. What would you like to see done with that?
This is a user-to-user support list, so the folks here can help point
the way to scripted solutions and even object-code externals but cannot
modify the engine to add these sorts of features.
You're encouraged to submit this request to the one place dedicated to
review by the development team:
<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/>
There's plenty of space there to include not only technical descriptions
and links to current APIs which might assist this, but if the business
case is as strong as you feel it is that can be included too. A strong
business case can weigh heavily in favor of a feature request.
This and previous discussions like it have been far more complicated
than they need to be:
If you want to see a feature, sure, let's discuss it here to see if
others need it or have found a solution for it already. Then submit it
to the request queue and see how many votes it gets. Done.
If you're requesting something that's fairly specialized, don't be
surprised if others find it too exotic for their needs. If they say so,
it isn't necessarily "provincial" or "sad" or other terms any reasonable
person would find insulting; it may just be simple ROI.
I'm confident that as a consultant for successful businesses you
appreciate the necessity of putting ROI above all other considerations.
And with your extensive experience and connections you're no doubt in a
position to prove the nay-sayers wrong, not by arguing with people who
have no control over the engine, but by delivering a commercial external
to this market you feel is strong enough to support it profitably.
When this external makes you heaps of money, you'll be laughing all the
way to the bank while the naysayers will be left only with regrets.
Show us how it's done. Demonstrate the ROI.
If reasonably priced I'd buy a license from you.
