I had been thinking about 'bin' post multi parts after I posted, because this is something that I dont use Pan for so its not been a problem I have come across in the past, so not what I checked for. Being that Pan will get used by some as a 'bin downloader' I can see that this might be considered useful but, TBH there are many things that could do with getting fixed first but worth putting on the road map.
