Thanks Peter for the suggestion but I'm afraid it's very unlikely. We try very hard not to add options to SkyDemon that only advanced users understand and could hope to use, because a great many of our users dislike the perceived complexity they add. We hold the simplicity of our user interface as one of the most important things about the product.

I understand that and it's great in itself but there's a competing priority here which is not to let simplification impede an advanced user's ability to use a product in a non standard way if they choose to do so for whatever reason. It would be a bigger change than simply adding an option to override the IP but what about having an advanced settings area with a big fat warning not to mess with anything you don't fully understand and with a reset to defaults button ?

Just some food for thought, I bet I'm not the only one with a similar problem.

Thanks,

Peter.
