Probably, but the other UI changes in the current development trunk probably will as well. Relying on the physical position of controls on a UI that utilizes dynamic layout managers is always going to be unreliable. I would hope that by the time that v1.6 goes public the UDP interface will be being used for interaction with external applications. > > I'll take an installation package and test it if you haven't tested it > already. Any testing is welcome!
