    Hey anazacco, so basically, you need to make them available offline first, right?

      Right. Which never happened until now. Just by clicking on their name I could see for instance their size, which I needed in order to know whether I wish to reduce it (which I do several times a day). Now I first must open, see size, reduce (or not), and close. Really cumbersome.
