Thanks for the clarification. The problem with what the manual says is
that I read "deprecated" as "frowned upon" and therefore use the option
that is meant to replace it. However, as the new option is still not
implemented, that won't work.
You're right that the old variable is a misnomer. I realised that, too.
I'll have a chat with my boss if he would be willing to sponsor
tt_products a bit by letting me invest a few hours for a patch on this.

Cheers,
Christian
