Hi Valentijn,

I'm glad to hear that you'll be out here next week. Why don't we plan on 
spending some time discussing your needs about time selection while you're here?

Also - the bug you mention below should be fixed now.

> It seems than since you revamped the chooser, selecting images using the  
> "SHIFT/"CTRL" buttons seem to work still o.k., but if i select times not 
> connected to each other ("CTRL") the times in the current view of the listbox 
> jump back to the first position of my previously selected subset. So then i 
> have to scoll down to the "time" is selected last (that was, with my "CTRL" + 
> left-mouse) to continue the filtering process.

> Btw. I'll be seeing you soon as Willem van Nieuwenhuis (our programmer which 
> joined our department recently) and i will attend the upcoming "Advanced IDV" 
> and "JAVA netCDF IO" workshops....
