From what I can tell the PR appears to have passed its tests. Also Laurent has tagged the PR as "3.5" so I guess that it is being considered for merging into v3.5.x.
I know that v3.5.x is not due until early next year and I know that occasionally "sh**t happens", but after nearly six years I cannot help it and I am starting to get TEARS OF JOY!
@mrjo118 thankyou for attempting this. If it gets into Joplin you will be my "coding hero of the decade". If it doesn't you will still be my "coding hero of the decade" just for trying.
EDIT:
Forgot to add...
As someone else has resurrected this post I thought I would take the opportunity to say that although it is five years and nine months later I am still not "used to it"
