Is it possible to add these features?

1. Stop the FT lengths in the description column and in the "Layout schematic" from changing back in IN lengths after a custom auto entry item edit.
2. Stop rounding fractions in the "takeoff" description column - if I use a 1 3/4" passage door as a custom auto entry the program rounds this to 2". I have to go and edit all the doors back to 1 3/4" so the customer does not get confused.
3. Is it possible to add a field for the material price in the custom library item dialog box?
4. When I edit a custom item, the dialog box brings up the "Layout schematic" from either the first item in the library list or the last item that was edited. This means that the "Layout schematic" field descriptions and the "Optional variables" field descriptions are not correct for the item being edited. Can this be fixed?
5. When selecting "Run New Scope", either in the "project scope" tab or the "bid letter" tab, is there a way to add a second question "Are you sure?". I have accidentally hit this button a couple of times when trying to click on a nearby button and it is a bummer to unintentionally lose all the custom editing of the descriptions that has been done.
6. Also, when selecting "Run New Scope" could there be an option to select just a portion of a revised takeoff instead of having every item replaced? Again this affects the custom descriptions of items that do not need to be updated. I am using copy and paste from the "J" tab for now but was wonder if another option might be possible.
7. Increase the width of the parts list column in the "3D Custom Library" dialog box. This column is the the same width of the "Edit material code" field UNTIL the scroll bar appears then it covers a portion of the material code. It would be nice to have the full width of the original field to view your codes.
8. Have the "3D Custom Library" dialog box "remember" to open up in the last location/position that it was placed instead of in the center of the screen. I use two screens and it would be nice to have the dialog box open on the second screen and not right on top of the takeoff list. If I move the box to the second screen I still cannot see what is below as it leaves a blanked out white area at its former location.
Just some thoughts...
