Wow! Thanks Jurgen! I'm definetly going to use this and i'm pretty sure some other people probably will as well. Thankfully, a bit ago, I found my own solution to this problem. I took the MinSCM plugin[1], made some small modifications to it and IMO, it now fits my needs perfectly. I published it because maybe someone else might find it useful[2]. Sorry for possibly sounding a bit like an ass here if i come off that way or ungrateful or something. I had a quite nice post pretty much completely written up and then my power went out for the second time this weekend so i'm quite a bit upset. Thanks for the code though!
