Hi Marcus,

You're probably busy with all the hassles that come with releasing a beta, so I'll be patient, but there's no possibility to file a bug report for the 9 series.

I think it'd be easiest for you if I wait for this possibility to appear before filing bug reports, right?

Best,
Henk

From your answer I see that my original message was incomplete. What I meant is, that there's no BETA9022 option in the dropdown of the bugtracker. I thought that it'd be easier for you if I waited until that appears. Otherwise the BETA9 bugs would pollute the 'chapter' of the 8 series in your database.

Best,
Henk

Are there some developments in implementing a new FTP function to create/remove/rename directories on/from the FTP server?
And how about "zip" files => ft upload => ftp download => "unzip" file?
Another hot requested feature would be to remember the settings by creating an *.exe file.

I'm afraid it's too late for new features for version 9.0. From now on it's bug fixes only. There's no time to add new features before January and the documentation is already at the printers. But post your suggestions to the Enhancement Suggestions forum and they will be considered for a future update.
