Nah, I prefer it the way that you did it.

Looks good to me at this point.  I've gone ahead and uploaded it.  You
should shortly get the notification that it's waiting in NEW.

Whoops, sorry, I should have RTFMed.  That explains the whole situation

Does using the command line switch work when there isn't an entry in the

have been missing something.  And indeed, it seems to be working now.
Must have just been pilot error.

It's nice and simple and useful and doesn't require subjecting myself to
piles of advertising on the web.
