When you post wishes, I'd suggest you make explicit how much workaround
time and money having a given functionality natively in filePro will save
you -- or explain that there's no way to work around it at all (deleting
from browses jumps to mind) -- and how many places and times you {are
likely to use it, needed it badly}; this will give the people voting a
better handle on the importance of the feature -- at least to *you*.

But frankly, I certainly hope they've remembered to provide a function
whereby *other* developers can cast votes for features as well, or
they've jumped from the dock to the boat... and are now swimming.

Cheers,
