Just a coda to this thread: in the hope that I was just missing something or that some bit of documentation was missing, I called support yesterday to ask if there weren't some way to include distance between systems in a script. The person I talked to kept telling me that to do that, I would have to write a script. I told him that this was exactly what I wanted to do, but how do I write the script, i.e., are there Finalescript commands to let me do this? He said that only the commands in the scripts I see can be used. So, I said, I can't do this? The answer apparently was, only if I write a script....

 

I wouldn't want to misrepresent what the person said, but I think this is pretty accurate; he kept coming back to my needing to write a script for this. If he meant I needed to alter the plug-in as written to add new commands to it, or if he meant I'd need to write my own plug-in, it isn't what he said. I think it was a frustrating conversation for both of us.

 

Anyway, I'd like to add my voice to any others out there who would like to see this marvelous tool developed. If there are few people using it now, it may only be because it is incomplete.
