You can sort–of do this with a source code patch mentioned in Bug #403797 <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403797>. Please read the comments and note it is a “proof of concept” only, not supported, etc. I have been using this patch ever since r207 as I mentioned there-in. I am at r364 now and it still works quite well, altho it might need re-adjusting these days. (I use gmane to monitor & post to this group/list, hoping my RFC headers will show thru with a bit more detail how modified my pan2 is here: the User-Agent line should show all the custom patches I have applied so far [bug–report numbers]. ;) ) At least Mr Kerr took note of this enhancement, so there is hope it can be rolled–in at some point. (btw wow it will soon be Two Whole Years since then!) > Would this be better asked in gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.devel ? I think -devel is for actual development. Your “how to” question is suited for -user here IMO. > Thanks HTH :) _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
