That’s good idea and today we quickly added a new item under the File menu and released the new version to our internal area for testing.
The end users of a software usually think in different ways from the software developer, as a software developer you might ignore something that is simple technically but important for your customers to save their time in their daily work.

I love the way you sound so passionate about what you are writing. Keep up the great work!
