Project management and "setting properties"

Please excuse the double post (also on the Vegas forum) but BStanding suggested that these two ideas may be doable via scripting...I apologise in advance for I have no programming backround and cannot begin to think of how about writing a simple script. Having said that, I am willing to learn if it is within my capabilities. So whether these ideas seem attractive enough for someone to embark on the project, or if I can be pointed in the right direction to learn this new language, I appreciate any input on these...Who knows, it might be worth a fee or two?
So here goes:


"I've been thinking (ouch!) about some ideas which could be implemented to help making life easier for us (especially PAL users)...When new versions of Vegas and DVDA come up, most of the settings are for NTSC by default which makes us Pal people have to worry about changing them all to suit our PAL needs. Couldn't a launch screen be included whereby we can establish our prefered settings for the whole application right after an instal?

A second idea is to do with project management. Another screen where we can set the desired drives folders for a whole project including DVDA would make life so much tidier than have to remember where to direct captures, renders, veg files etc for each new project, especially if you have several drives to play with and use them for different types of projects...

anyone else think this would be useful?

All thoughts of course welcome."

Many thanks for any suggestions, pointers or thoughts on these...

Best regards

Paul.
