thanks a lot @MikeJ and @FonteBoa for your kind words, i appreciate it! ...and iam glad you like it!
wings is such a great tool... and i always like it to see how people are using the features and/or develope workflows (like FonteBoa´s Youtube Channel)
this is my first project... to give something back to the community.
