!? Now I'm a bit lost. It says that repo is unofficial. The SVN repo seems alive as it was last updated a couple of months ago.

The author is maintaining it. But there was a good time while it didn't compile with the latest and so a published fix was made.

As to whether there was an attempted patch submission, I don't know. But I'm going with github because it is damn easy to contribute, and publicize work sooner than a review process allows.

It would be interesting if Christopher forked his project and continued working from github (its not like he doesn't get the credit).

I agree github is a much better collaboration platform than dsource+svn, but C.Miller should at least be contacted. It's bad for a project to get fragmented if it doesn't have to be.

Off to try the github version then.

Worked great, thanks!
And yes, github is better. I removed the warnings and added a pull request. Go github.

I'm pretty sure I contacted him to find out what to do with my ini updates, but never heard from him, but I used his contact form and so don't have a record of it or know if it went through.
