Re: Some general bitching and moaning

Hello!

Well, we would like make program as good as possible. It is
just hard, and takes a lot of time.
Basically I agree with all of your feature wishes. And I think
all these are in feature request pages in sourceforge as well.
They will not be ignored. But as hint about development time
- it took about 2 years to get path composition operations
implemented...

Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski
