Features requests, even good ones, sometimes take a back seat to highly urgent development needs.
The amount of work that is possible far outweighs the number of people willing to help with the project.
This topic remains a support request. Want me to make it a feature request to see who else wants it?
EDIT 1:
Features category currently has 402 requests, and is not good at tracking closed ones. GitHub Issues
has 278 enhancement requests, is a better tracker, and is potentially more looked at by the developers.
I’m not sure which has more discussion by end users. I’d guess the forum, but that’s just me guessing.
EDIT 2:
Admittedly the temptation to work on one very-long-requested feature seems to have gotten work going.
EDIT 3:
Making this topic a feature request would not attract attention, because the current title doesn’t describe.
Maybe you can see if this has come up before in either forum or Issues. If so, me-too it. If not open one.
