How exactly would you like to add 10 new data fields to a thread using only one small file and some template edits? That's very impressive if you ask me.
And I can assure you, the HTL might seem like it's more work but it really isn't, in practice. It's saved me an average of one hour per day for working on my vB. And it's saved an endless amount of file edits, too.
I now have 8 file / template edits for 4 hacks. Without the HTL that would've cost me about 12. Once I add 4 more hacks to my HTL, I might still remain at 8 file edits, but without the HTL I would've been on 20 by now. And that difference grows exponentially. By the time I have 20 file edits for 10 hacks using the HTL, I would have about 40-50 file edits for 10 hacks without the HTL. Additionally, everything would not be nicely organized if I'd not use the HTL. Also, upgrading my board would be a lot of work, which is not the case when using the HTL.
So while it might seem like "a lot more work" to make a hack, it generally saves you ten times as much work (and time) if you use the HTL for each hack you make.
But ahwell, I'm not forcing anyone to use it. It's the same with picking money off the street. You don't have to do it, but it does make sense to do it.
You have a beta copy I can test then? I would love to see what this really does.
