Please do not ask the developers to turn WSJT-X into Bloatware. Focus on the core functions and let 3rd party apps do the rest. They are out there. The interface to them already exists. Don't recreate the wheel and negatively impact the decoding of weak signals by trying to make WSJT-X into a Swiss Army Knife. 73, N0AN Hasan
