I would only offer one option, and I agree that limiting by words makes more sense.
With all due respect, I offer this plugin for free to the WordPress community, and while I’m happy to incorporate user feedback to make the plugin more useful, I don’t think it’s fair of you to put implied demands on my time because you are up against a deadline with your client. That said, it would seem you have 4 options available to you at this time:
- Pay me to for my time this evening to complete this enhancement for you ($75USD paypal link), I’m on EST
- Find another plugin that will meet your needs
- Wait until I have free time to finish the release (as previously noted, probably a couple weeks from now)
- Find someone else to make the enhancement for you if you cannot code it yourself
Whichever option you select is fine with me.
