The problem is that I need to ensure that any change will actually work the same on all platforms. This part of MDB is based on Metabase. The Metabase developer took quite some time to come up with the rules. In the future the Manager will become more flexible so that you can define how struct the Manager should be. Atm it aims at 100% portability. Regards, Lukas
