Sure I am, I would be happy to test a patch and give feedback.

I will CC myself to the ticket[1], hopefully I have found the right
one, there is another one with a similar topic[2] which seems only
apply for templating.

Anyway, thanks for your response, I am awaiting your patches for
testing :)

Cheers
