Subject: Re: [Johnny] Task 1.4.2 fork and OpenMP
Thanks Solar, I implemented your idea into the right places in Qt QProcess.
It works great! So now, Johnny --fork support new version of john with the
patch and older one.
On a different note, for OpenMP, I'm understanding that it's not a command
line option, it's something that you have to change in the makefile when
you compile. I guess that it would work AS IS in Johnny. Can we take a
decision about this discussion between frank and shinnok ? Do you want the
user to specify a different number of openmp threads or keep it simple for
him(default, number of logical cores) ?

Also, regarding this feature "Manual plain-text guessing for individual
ciphers (directly in the table view)", can you please describe a use case.
I'm not sure to understand the concept of "ciphers". Is the use case : "the
user try to guess the password for a user in the table view and we verify
if he's right or not " ?
