Re: filmscanners: VueScan Histogram

["Mark T." <markthomasz@ozemail.com.au>]

I would second Julian's comments - expecially the part about leaving the 
histograms in view for the Preview Memory function - that's the first thing 
I tried to do and was a little frustrated by not being able to see what 
happened until I had hit the tab again.  Ideally leave the old histo there 
until the moment that it changes - then when we see the actual 'switch' 
take place I think we will quickly get the hang of the relationship between 
the numbers and the graph.

PS - I find it hard to believe we are all sitting here having our 
needs/wants met by a software developer, often in hours, let alone months 
or years..  Ed, I hope you never learn the 'normal' way to develop 
software...  :-)
