Thank you Equis Support,
I was looking at options when I explore but I didn't catch this option when
I edit the explorer field.
Of all the sugestions, the most urgent is to start several explorers
automatically one after the other, and probably, is the simpliest to code.
This is a great importance for me, I might merge several explorers into one
also, but then I don't have enough columns to display what I would need
then.
Programming langage and system test enhancements would be really usefull as
well, I made those suggestions when you restarted the suggestion thrad two
months ago, but I know this will not be simple to code. My preference for a
programming langage go more and more to python, since I can find any library
I need very easily. For example, it includes functions what you can find in
big statistical analysis software like SAS, and it includes also some really
interesting features. For example, it is also very easy to parallelise long
tasks using sockets or threads (let say two or more statistical computations
at the same time on different computers using sockets to syncronize
processes).
