Do you have a schedule for the next version?

We also thought it but it requires to propagate project and layers settings
to the various projects, A change in one project requires to manually do
the same on the others... Ok, not so bad for two or three projects, but
very time consuming if you have multiple roles = multiple projects.
Anyway, I agree with you, it's times simpler to implement ;)

Ok.
Our goals are very similar. We will think on it...
