...and I say that knowing full well that you don't consider that something that should be implemented. I see that side of it as well.
AF is something that at it's core (for me at least) is a brilliant organizational tool. That's as it should be. The additional features you've implemented (over time) have become this way for people to rationalize even more "features" that may (arguably) go beyond the scope of it's core mission..which is to organize our stuff. As I may have said previously, that's why I (usually) stay out of the "give me more features please" pool. I know that (inevitably) you'll cover pretty much everything I need.
As for the batch processing request..yeah, if you ever did, that would eliminate the need for other additional apps in my arsenal. That being said.. Do as you think best (of course)..
