Yes, the latest version is 3.2.0 but we're still using 3.0.4, so I'll  
contact the developer with a view to upgrading to 3.2.0

Any/all feedback would be appreciated.

Thought you might but I had to mention it if only to save you the bother  
of hunting it down.

OK, I'll pass your email address on to the developer(Gunter Sandner).

 SD> I am just trying to make more stuff available for more people. :)

Excellent attitude, bravo! :)
