Thank's

even if it has the same version number, it is modified version, if
I download it from your site

You don't seem to understand that the original Macina banner
really used always ImageMagick at least with images, which
I used. I didn't touch the max-width value (I left it '0'). I asked from 
the author - he said that with this setting the plugin should not use 
ImageMagick - but it used anyway and images were totally useless after 
ImageMagick treatment. That's why in one site I must use another banner 
manager.

I didn't get comment to the link target issue.
I tried to use internal links and that's why I set links for banners 
'_self'. But hardcoded "_blank" ignored it. Endeed I can hardcode it 
'_self' this is not a good solution, because sometimes it would be
nice to use internal links and sometimes links to other sites.
