Thanks

However there are at the moment 2 things missing which I would like to suggest (I might implement some of it myself if I get a bit of free time soon):

Suggestions:
*Button Press and Release Commands
Say if I want to turn up the volume by 10 i have to tab the button 10 times. Supporting lircs SEND_START and SEND_STOP would be awesome here.

*Toggle Buttons
It doesn't appear to me that you can setup a toggle button at the moment. For example my Amp takes 2 different commands for turning it on and off (lirc), this would save some space since you would only need one button instead of two.
You are welcome to contribute.
If you really are going to do some coding, post and we see that you get latest source code. Public SVN is a tad out of date.
There have been some talk about keeping button pressed, but I think there were some possible issues.

-Bugs:
The execute each command every Xs option doesn't save the value.
We'll put yellow post-it note on wall about this and someone will look into it someday.

-Questions:
Where do you store the device controller settings (i.e. the commands for the command line backend)? If you have got lots of commandline cmd's that you would like to add, editing the file from your notebook is a lot faster
Configurations made at Irreco are stored in $HOME/.irreco folder.

-Conclusion:
It is already an awesome program and I am planning on making some button sets/themes too the next days - keep up the great work.
Next release is supposed to support uploading and downloading themes, so you can publish them someday.
