Function request: Match page for GEDCOMs [closed]

Hi,

this may not be important for everybody, but it would have helped me a lot with my first GEDCOM, and I have lots more to go!

When I click on "COMPARE" in the GEDCOM report, a really useful window opens up - not sure if you can see this... GEDCOMpare Blakeley Family Tree (2).ged (wikitree.com) It has the active GEDCOM profile in the upper left cell, followed row by row with father, mother, siblings, spouse, children. If there are multiple suggested matches, they are "stacked" at the bottom of each cell. Clicking on one brings that WikiTree profile to the top right cell, with info in the subsequent rows, as above. You can "cycle through" the stack of suggestions while remaining in this window - which is really very, very useful. 

At the moment, as soon as a suggested match is rejected, this window closes and you go back to the original list. To get back to comparing suggested WikiTree matches for the active GEDCOM profile, you have to click on the next suggestion in the main list and re-open this comparison window.

So here is my request: Would it be possible to remain in this window and automatically compare the next suggested WikiTree profile in the "stack", without closing the comparison window after each rejection? That may seem like a trivial request, but I had about 1000 suggested matches in this file, often six or seven for each GEDCOM profile (lots of "Thomas" and "Smith" profiles!) After a while, it gets tedious to have to keep going back to the main GEDCOM file list. 

It seems technically possible, because clicking on "match" does NOT automatically close the window - which is great! When I'm done (or want to research further before deciding), I always have the CLOSE button at the upper right. Closing the comparison window after each rejection doesn't really seem necessary - probably just something no one was too worried about during testing!

If its too much trouble, I can live with it as is. But it would make me able to complete my current task must faster, so if its no big deal it would be much appreciated!

Regards, Gary
