Using features built into VDH, no. You can do it manually by canceling entries in the
queue & rescheduling them, but you probably already thought of that. And yes, that is
ugly, but that's what we've got.

Thanks Wild Willy,

Is this an open source project or closed? I'm mostly a C/C++/Python programmer but I can find my way around other systems. Maybe I could take a crack at adding the feature?

Cheers

You're braver than I am. There are 2 components to VDH. There is the browser extension
& there is the Companion Application (CoApp). It is my understanding that the extension
is not open source but the CoApp is. I don't know where the logic is that controls the
queue. If it's in the CoApp, knock yourself out. If it's in the extension, you're out
of luck.

I think I misspoke. The queue is certainly in the _extension_ not the CoApp.
