That is very good news. I will be quiet and look forward to 4.6.
Perhaps I can rebuild my desktop files to work with the working
categories.

Thanks,

I was upset because I had waited sometime for an answer only to be
disappointed. To be fair, if I had seen the original reply to my
initial email things wouldn't be so bad. (my fault) Today I'm happy
and it's cool. I'll wait for later as I was told it will be worked in
some fashion some time after the 4.4 release.

Thanks,
Michael
