Some suggestions for useful improvements - easy to do ?

I know, long time 'til Christmas, but here is my wishlist

1. Maybe it would be a nice idea to have an online template folder ( for example http://www.antp.be/temp/templates/ ), similar to your scripts folder. You could upload latest templates and template updates there, so it would be very clear and a lot easier than searching the forum for interesting/new templates. Another advantage is that templates from topics will not be unaccessible because of broken links.

PS: If you like the idea and add a template folder, I will adapt the 'update_scripts' script and make an 'update_templates' script. This would make it possible even for beginners to download and use new templates - not to mention all the AMC users that have not visited the forum yet

2. The 'Scripting' window should have a button for deleting scripts from harddisk (or maybe through right click). It's not very comfortable to delete unnecessary scripts through file manager, as filenames can differ from the names in the AMC list. Same thing with the templates list.

What do you think ?

1. Yes I should do that. The problem is that template often require extra intruction, it is not always list the script which is self-contained in a .ifs file
I wanted to make a more advanced template system, script-based, but as usually I never had time for that

2. I could add.
For the templates, you mean the printing templates? for these the file names match what is displayed in the list.
As usual, I do not know when I will work on the program. I haven't worked on it since last beta version and for the moment I do not have much time to work (well, I mean that I do not want to use my few free time on that, but it may change in the future).
