No problem.  The important thing is that you were able to make
it work. Just as a point of interest, you should probably use the
plugin method for this in the future.  We are migrating that
in that direction as a way to add/remove features.  An easy
way to do this would be to move your imagedefaults.xml from
the .metapps/DefaultIdv directory to the .metapps/DefaultIdv/plugins
directory.  That's where it gets placed when you use the menu
anyway, so this is a quick shortcut.

let me know if you have further questions about the IDV.
