Hi Bill, (me) >> I'm guessing you are following the instructions [1] in the manual...? ;-) (Bill) > I take great umbrage at anyone who implies that reading the instructions is > somehow my responsibility <g>. While as a user I understand you but, maybe not quite as a developer: the fact is that approximately 80% [1] of reported bugs are "solved" by reading the user manual. Naturally, I guess we all agree that applications should be intuitive enough (to dismiss documentation in most common use-cases) and that documentation should be as clear/simple as possible. ;-) > I too have tried to use the Makebook feature with the same results.

Some of the steps don't appear to be prone to automation (easily, at least, and IMO). I'd defy one to rework this lack of documentation/automation into a feature request or a (precise) proposal to improve the current behavior! :-) Finally, I'd also invite the Amaya team to comment a bit on this (even if no feature request/improvement proposal arises). ;-) Cheers, Helder [1] Warning: completely unscientific measures, based in own experience only. Didn't attempt to crawl for trustful statistical data. :-p
