Suggestion: Would you please consider using variable length strings instead of fixed (16-character) strings for holding engine and lashup names? There is plenty of real estate on screen to let us have more text, but I keep fighting to use creative abbreviations to avoid getting truncated by the app. My god, it's not FORTRAN   And, when you click "edit" on an engine name, could we please have that field pre-filled with the current name instead of retyping?

Thanks,

Greg Reinke

Reasonable suggestions Greg.  We've retained the 16 character names to try and retain some compatibility with the remote.  But, as  time rolls on, this will become less and less of an issue.

For the edit engine name issue, I think we intended this as more of a rename engine than edit.  I mean, c'mon, it's 16 characters.  It isn't a novel!  But, the change shouldn't be a big deal.  I'll get it on a list but, it's probably not gonna get a high priority.  Sorry.
