In the CalcImage application generally (almost always) one would use the Project | Create (new) Project Wizard menu to guide one through the process of creating a new CalcImage project for quantification of x-ray maps.
But in the beginning, we also implemented menus for manually creating a new project, selecting the PFE MDB file and sample for the x-ray map configuration including menus for manual adding maps to that manually created project as seen here:
Of course many of you found it easier to just edit a CalcImage CIP project file using a text editor which is just a simple text file with the extension .CIP as shown here:

But now that the CalcImage new project wizard is so versatile we wonder if it's worth keeping these manual "load" menus around? It's not a big deal to keep them, but we really don't have much more space for new menus, so if no one is using these menus we might consider getting rid of them.
What do you all think? Please only respond to this poll if you've used CalcImage to quantify your x-ray maps as described here:
