Thank you very much :)

it seems that i was out of synchronization as you said (maybe because i put
back an old version when i reinstalled my computer, as i did not finish to
test all features before its crash)

The integration to the journal development is not hard : it's just that i'm
a bit absent-minded
Apologizes.

Regards
