Before I implement this :) Goba, you may be able to significantly speed up the process of doing this if instead of listing the existing files or the existing and non existing files, only list the non-existing files. how many non-existing files is there? b/c there is no way to add any user notes directly from the chm, all files that only exist on the chm should not check for the user notes. these user notes will also not have to be listed in the js file. I am not sure how many of these notes there are or how hard this would be to implement but it is an idea.
