Ok; I'm ok to do that myself to reduce the workload. If my version of the
grabber is still current, I can do it on friday, otherwise I'll wait for the
4.1.2 release.
I may also want to make a few changes to the datedit api (replace the
many parameters with a single struct, as Peter suggested, or a bitfield
for simple on/off flags, or both) that might make it easier to add new
functionality without breaking the grabber too badly.
If I still feel up to it by that time, I'll have another look at the
relative path option I suggested around the same time. I have it working
more or less ok, but it has some issues that I'll have to address before it
is ok.
Come to think of it, I also had something that added a pop-up box when
overwriting a symlink. Should I rework a version of that patch as well?

Hmm... looks like I have my weekend planned...
