hi,
First thank you for the software I was actually developing my own (https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=%23refboard) and stumbling upon this I simply stopped since this covers most of my needs.
Now for the suggestion: since we can store quite a large amount of references at once, it would be very helpful to be able to group references (think as in a "frame") to get a quick glance of different type of reference without spending a lot of time on zoom/pan actions.
Something hotkeyable would be very nice (0-9) to quickly jump through different reference types.
Thank you.

Hello!
Great to hear from you!
We have a lot of features planned for future releases and grouping is one of those. However, currently we are focusing on porting PureRef to Mac and Linux so it might take a while before we get to it but when we do, we will do our best to carry out your suggestions.
We're very happy to hear PureRef covers most of your needs already, and that we can save you the effort of writing your own software even though we think RefBoard is really cool.
If there is any other features you feel are missing, feel free to share them with us.
Thank you very much for your support and suggestions!

How about the "logic lines" like in node based editors? Or.. Yes! Path lines. Seriously... i think this will be cool idea...
My English is not so good, but i try to explain...
Ok... lets say you make groups of refs in other parts of the main board, you made a "Reference Group" and gave them a names (or commentary) lets say you modelling a gun and there a lot of parts and reference for them like "magazine", "receiver", "gas tube" and so on, the problem is - you allways forget where which group is located: u can zoom out (but sometimes it not obvious) or use a "Path lines" (that looks like a network), just hold some key and it will show you the dot lines with names (and maybe colors) like paths they show in which direction from this position each group of references is located so you can follow the path for group you looking for...
