Doug, I get that this is a major pain point for you. But I'm confident
that nothing has changed on this front since the big thread about this
last February. Here's a link to the first message in that thread:

From my own personal point of view:
(1) My questions about the interaction between SEU and RDi, and
between source PF members, IFS stream files, and local (PC) files were
never adequately addressed. Basically, there were some
not-fully-explored theories for why folks were seeing the behavior
they were seeing, and I suggested a bunch more steps for testing, but
these never got done because (1a) I don't personally have RDi and I'm
not going through the time and hassle of installing and configuring
the trial version just to do these tests; (1b) most people who do have
RDi did not understand what the hell I was talking about, and thus did
not see the point of any further testing; and (1c) anyone who
understood me and was in a position to do the testing did not have the
time or patience to do the testing.
(2) Without a better understanding of what is really going on, my
practical recommendation from that thread remains:

<blockquote>
So in your shoes, my thought would be to try to work around it using
editor macros and/or hotkeys. By editor macros I mean there's surely
some kind of scripting capability that RDi itself provides. [Buck
responded that there isn't.] If that turns out not to be enough, then
there are third-party options like AutoHotkey. With some fiddling and
some programming (but hopefully not as much programming as building
your own Eclipse plug-in), you can probably shoehorn the "open and
trim" functionality into your workflow such that it's no more work
than just a plain "open".
</blockquote>
So, have you at least looked into AutoHotkey or other
hotkeying/scripting tools? I would guess the answer is no, otherwise
you probably would have asked for help with it if you got stuck, or
ideas to get you going.
