having no one even make an attempt at writing some code to see if this can be done has me doubting the value of being a member of DonationCoder.com.-mbrazil
What a shame you feel that way. People are so very helpful here, and I see that some suggestions have been made for you to try.
Apparently, it's not all that difficult to write some code that would solve my issue
Perhaps the fact that this code hasn't been written, or doesn't work the way you'd like in other software, implies that it's a little more difficult than you suppose.
Do remember that you're asking for someone to volunteer time to your project. It may well happen, but this is not an 'on demand' type of community. Personally, I look on my own membership here as a privilege. I certainly don't feel that my occasional donations give me any particular entitlement.
Even if your specific request
isn't resolved, you may very well find plenty else to like about DonationCoder.
My wife likes to point out to me that asking nicely is usually preferable to being grumpy.
I think she has a point.
Meantime, I hope you do find a solution that suits you. If I come across any software that looks as if it might help you, I'll remember to post about it here in the hope that you will see it.
