[Question #108430]: On word count- Multiselect or exclude sections?

First off, I'm pretty happy with this project as-is. On word count, though, it would be helpful for the lazy among us to have a little more fine control over what parts of the document get counted at any one point.

For instance, right now I can get stats for an individual node, or for the entire shebang. It would be nice to be able to highlight, say, the three scenes that make up a chapter and get a word count, or to exclude a section I've set aside for story notes when I want stats on the rest of the project. 

And I have to give you guys a round of applause. Kabikaboo is the first app I've found since switching to Linux that suits the way I work. I was a Scrivener guy in Mac OS X, and got to the point in Ubuntu at which I started running a hackintoshed virtual machine to use it. No need for that anymore, and it looks like Kabikaboo is going to keep getting better. Thank you so much. Looks like I'll have to start pushing Kabikaboo to the non-Mac people in our little writing group here (some of whose members you may have heard of, and some of whom teach English at KU). 

Thanks again, guys. If I knew the first damn thing about writing code I'd offer assistance, because this is pretty much what I'd write if I knew how to do it. As it stands, though, I'll just pimp it whenever opportunity arises.

All the best,
-Rob
