FAQ

I found a bug. Where should I post it?

Please use the issues section in the GitHub-Repository.

I will most likely not maintain the forum support forum on wordpress.org. Anyway, other users might have an answer for you, so it’s worth a shot.

I’d like to suggest a feature. Where should I post it?

Please post an issue in the GitHub-Repository

Just dragging files is so cool! Any way I can show my appreciation?

Thanks! As a well trained person living in a rich country I am doing quite well.
But there are billions of people lacking access to essential health services.

So, if this little piece of software made your life a bit easier, a donation at Medecins sans Frontieres will do the same for many other people.
