Hi Mauro,

In the other DAM list I already saw that Dan estimated it on 100 hours of work.
Indeed this is a feature that a lot of people badly need. We will probably have
a project during the year where we can tackle this problem but also other DAM
issues  concerning usability. This is not a sure thing yet and I think it would
be awesome if work on this important issue can get started. I will contact you
PM for some details.
