Theodore,
I have no doubt some people can find it useful.
However, I don't need to edit raw mpeg or mp3 files, and I would like to
have f4 selectively disabled.
I am not arguing whether this functionality is useful or not, I was just
asking this list whether there is na option to configure it.
It the answer is "not, this is hardcoded", then so be it.
thanks,
Martin
