I'm sorry, I was not beong sarcastic. I am a huge proponent of the Open Source development model for this very reason. Because I DO have the option to dig into the code and do it myself. If anything, the comments are more about my personal lack of Python skill.

I wanted to be sure it was on the radar as an issue that impacts user experience. I understand that time is always a resource with hard limits. The "do not read metadata" switch is acceptable for my needs. If I did have requisite Python skills I would be happy to give it a shot. As I said, I may have to take a look at some Python docs.
