Thanks, Christian. I was showing the new filesel to my gf this weekend,
and she honestly used the word 'awesome'. Her only quibble was the
filter box- she had no idea what it was, and of course the fact that
there was nothing in the dropdown didn't help her. :) I for one would
love to see this get applied.
