Yes, I think you did an excellent job there. I’m trying to encourage Tomaz to follow the design idea you documented as this very much reflects what I want. And Tomaz convinced me to shift things, not hide them. In return I hope I beat him into submis… errr… convinced him to move the filter to the top as you sketched it.

Now we need to wait for his patches…
