Future Updates: msg#00250

Subject: Future Updates

Haven't seen either of these subjects discussed on the forum, so assuming they haven't, here are a couple of "wishes" for upcoming releases:
 
(1) Add the ability to print calendar data, preferably with the ability to specify the time period (i.e. week[s], month[s], etc.) and print format (i.e. calendar-style with entries "wrapped" up to character limit, or chronological list style by date and time).  Some  "bonus" features:  (a) display a miniature of the preceding and following months in the upper corners;  (b) permit users to print a blank monthly calendar; and  (c) bold or highlight federal holidays and start/end of daylight savings time.  I've actually written spreadsheet formulas (in Quattro Pro/Win) for the holidays and daylight savings dates, though these may not help much without the associated spreadsheet program.
 
(2) Add Windows-style open, copy, and cut commands to the wallpaper section of BitPIM, so that photos downloaded from the phone can be more easily opened with standard Windows picture viewing and editing software (the logical default in Windows XP would be the Windows Picture & Fax Viewer included as part of Windows XP), and cut or copied to other folders in the user's computer system for safe-keeping.
 
Although I'm not a programmer, it would seem that the "open, copy and cut" commands could be easily added using standard Windows APIs, while the calendar printing might require a little more work, perhaps with the help of existing open-source code that might be found elsewhere.
 
Is anyone there up to these tasks?
