It's great, eh? I've been playing with its plug-ins today. It does some 
funky things.

I hadn't noticed the donate options. I'm using it with the mini interface 
+ always show results (sic) window, to which I added the Alias plug-in, 
which allows you access the prefs directly (I used 'e3' as shown in the 
Alias example).
