It might make sense, given the GUI philosophy of TLU, to follow the pref pane in this respect.

(Not that I ever attempted, or will ever attempt, to change that other than for testing.) Is this what you mean by "not allowing changing that level of granularity"?

Howdy,

Works fine under OS X 10.10.3 too. I no longer have any other OS so Dick Koch will have to test under previous OS versions.

I assume that TLU is OS 10.7 and later so only using x86_64-darwin is reasonable.

Good Luck,
