large file sizes
After some testing, it appears the current GRML browsers do not support large file sizes well. The primary problem is their inability to effeciently process the data without bloating the requirements of RAM.

Backlinks (Link popularity)A good example of RAM bloat is opening a file, with a size of 1 MB. (Any file size demonstrates this, but 1 MB is a nice measure to use for comparison.) Typically, if a file has 1 MB of data, the browser RAM requirements increase 1 MB. At least, this is the ideal.

Subsequent versions of GRML browsers will substantially limit the RAM requirements of all files. However, for the next version of Pioneer Report MDI, this limitation is not improved. Why? It provides an incentive for users to purchase the product, rather than use it for free.

scope of features
One problem with developing software is the tendency to add too many features. In the pursuit for more power, more features, and more market-share, many companies have focused on adding more to their products.

What is the result?
Software becomes complicated, using cluttered interfaces. Often, just looking at some user interfaces creates a good deal of confusion. To get around this problem, maybe there needs to be a concentration on "less as more."
updating the products
It seems the filtering capabilities, of Pioneer Report MDI, are working well. It is going to be added to all remaining GRML products, once testing is complete. The next feature to add is grouping.
This requires the use of some type of index.

bar graphs
A bar graph uses rectangular bars to represent data points on a plane. Bar graphs are used for comparing amounts, or frequency of occurrence, of items in a set of data.

Bar graphs 'allow comparison of groups of data', and 'enable generalizations of data quickly'.
Attributes.
Bar graphs have a title, axes, scale, label, and bars.
Details.
The title of a bar graph is optional, but provides a description of what the bar graph is measuring.
There are two axes in a bar graph. They are horizontal and vertical. The axis, representing each item of data, is the base. The other axis represents the amount, or frequency, of each item of data.

The labels of the bar graph describe what is being measured. For example, number of cars, production hours, or time in days are possible labels. Each axis uses a label.
The scale represents the quantity of measurement. Scale could be 1..2..3, or 10..20..30, etc. Each axis has a scale.

The bars, in the bar graph, represent data plotted using the horizontal and vertical axes. The bar height is the absolute value of the data from the base. The bar width is arbitrary.
adding either tutorials or wizards
In the process of creating a more pleasing user interface, it is becoming clearer the value of tutorials and wizards. Adding either one to existing products offers the new user another way to become familiar with using the products. For example, adding a 'New Item' wizard offers data-entry to a new user.
Two new buttons are in planning for GRML software. They are 'New Item' and 'Edit Item'.
