Hey I submitted this to bugzilla as an enhancement, wasn't sure if that stuff was read or not...
If my coding was up to snuff I would attempt these changes myself.

No response neccesary, but just my two cents on usability of a specific aspect of the program
which I enjoy very much (thanks for all the hard work).


It would be an improvement to the usability of the Reports>Custom Reports
dialog if some changes were made to how it reponds to user events.

1) if you double click on a report in the list box, don't close the dialog
after the double click event. Leave the dialog open to allow another report to
be selected.

2) if possible, allow multiple reports to be selected in the list box, and
opened at once.

3) lastly, remember the dimensions of the custom reports dialog, so when it's opened
again in the future it's the same as when it was last closed.

The above changes, in the context of opening multiple reports, would save alot
of wasted time spent clicking on menus, mouse. It could potentially be a more
efficient process: less tedious, less scrolling, less resizing etc.

Thanks!

Gregory
