ENDLIST=================================================
I have added new wishes at the bottom rather than group them logically, to
allow those who have already voted to see new items for further voting
Some of the above wishes can be worked-around, but the pain.... 🙂
* tally = no. of contributors adding their wish
With full respect to Emagic and Chris Adam for their tremendous achievement
to date and thanks for the body of work/income made possible thereby.
Emagic will already have these wishes (plus many more) on a list of their
own. Nevertheless it may help to unify communication between us and Emagic,
& help focus on those areas which are more fruitful.
