Yeah, honestly, I built Pierogi originally as an experiment for myself -- I really never expected it to become, well, popular. (It isn't nearly as flashy as QtIrreco or any of the other IR apps out there.) So I've been entering and storing data in my own peculiar method. (Actually, I think my method is much less peculiar than the other methods out there, but that's just my opinion.)

So I still haven't come up with a way to read external keyset data in Pierogi. Honestly, I wanted to build Pierogi as an app that contained every keyset internally, anyway. (The problems with the QtIrreco website show what can happen with apps that are dependent on an external source of data...)

http://www.costcentral.com/proddetai...6001/11268737/ here is the remote control I need, with the compatibility list. The closest to that list was the MP620 projector, and here is the LIRC file for that http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/benq/MP620
I've got that LIRC file, and I've found five or six more BenQ projector config files on the hifi-remotes website, I'll get them into the next release of Pierogi.
