When you have multpile players, could you have a small checkbox when you select a player to have it default to that player on load and not start with the "Who" dialog? It would come in handy when, in some cases, a single-user needs multiple profiles (such as my 'Anonymous' player file for December's contest). If that could happen next version (After JtRH), that'd be awesome! Thanks!

There are many pros and cons to this, actually. Erik thought up a good compromise for JtRH, though: if you have multiple player profiles, then on startup it will automatically highlight the player you were playing last time. So if that's the one you always use, then just hitting Enter or Space will confirm each time.

Awesome...that sounds just as good if not better. Thanks!
