Hello Amit -
As you can see by the messages received, we love this work and would be so grateful for a tutorial so we can manually do this until you have it automated. THANK YOU for envisioning the project, and working on it... If this could be automated someday, it will be a major accomplishment, and what you have done already already is!

Our gratitude, Amit -

Val ;-)
