Ahh, thought so. On a lan there shouldn't be enough traffic for compression
to make much difference, but on a dialup it's a different matter.

That's on my (personal) list for the 1.4 release (1.2 will be any day now,
1.3 will be dev code, 1.4 the next stable). It probably won't drill into the
database as such, because it would have to list collections of objects which
the list pane never does, but will probably open the properties for that
object.
