[Bf-funboard] A button to up a number at the end of the file before saving.

[Doug Ollivier]

Interestingly I found the function through the tool tip, not but 2 days 
before this thread started...

The balance is between cluttering the interface with buttons, and having 
tools to hard for people to find.
I am not 100% sure how the feature should be included in a way that is 
visible yet not another button in the interface.
