    One thing in Studio I use regularly to communicate with my reviewers are the comments. However, in the current version, they are rather basic. What I wish for them is the possibility to format text in them. Think MS Word, especially the later versions...

    My Studio Licence is located on an external server. At present, Studio freezes and subsequently can't be rescued if I lose my Internet connection or if the Licence Server crashes. This causes work to be lost. Can this be changed so that you can at...
