Of course, it's a one click solution.

What information do you need? I think it is straightforward, not really 
a new feature but at first the introduction of consistent and defined 
behaviour of the chain button (in the case of different scales). The 
benefit of (partially, still 3 clicks) solving "my" problem with this is 
there, of course, but IMHO one does not lose functionality.

For me it would, (a) more functionality is almost always useful and (b) 
more scripts mean more information to learn from :-)

Nevertheless, did you check my simpler scripting suggestion (my answer 
to your other post)? Is this possible?

Thanks and best regards
