I think the best way at this moment is to revert the change ( I can do
that , or someone else, I dont mind ) and think of a better concept. Simon
also mentioned that he didn't like the current way of doing things, so I
kept it in, for possible suggestions. Reverting the change would mean that
the old behaviour at least works and is with what people are used to. We
can then further improve it where needed.

Cheerio,
Remko
