Clear, I got it. And I haven't thought to this case before. Currently I don't need this feature, but it seems to be very essential, so maybe I'll look what steps can I do for it in the (far) future, unless it will be done by others.

Sorry for the Java :) I started it in pure C and I hoped that I'll regress back to the old days when I loved to work with C :) But it hasn't happened, I switched fast into Java, I missed its comfort and easily usable and efficient containers :) Although I had a lot of problem with CNI, gcj when I started with them.

I also put the project into sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ratsel/

and here is the online introduction (for those who don't want to download the tar.gz to see what is this plugin about):

http://ratsel.sourceforge.net/

The SF page is very initial currently (I thought the SF should be easy to use and intuitive, but it is not the best WEB GUI I have ever seen, at least it is very slow :).)

Cheers,
Endre
