First of all, thanks Lisa for your interest in Dolphin. Unfortunately, I
can't provide much assistance at the moment because I'm travelling and can
only read emails from time to time. Moreover,I'm not familiar yet with all
parts of Dolphin's code base.

I can have a look next month, if there are any remaining questions then.

Best regards,
Frank
