  Problems with Winvote

I have ongoing problems with winvote and I was wondering, before I email its
writer, whether others have similiar problems.

This month, for example, I scored some pictures at home and some at work.
However, there is no easy way to combine scores from two separate locations,
and although the problem can be worked around by transferring a few files
back and forth, it's not ideal. Merging the results into winvote's votes.txt
is easy enough, but winvote, although showing the merged scores, refuses to
acknowledge that all pics have been voted on. I understand the reasons for
this - it helps to cut down on possible fraud(?) - but seems a little OTT
IMHO for the IRTC (what next? dope-testing? we're doomed!).

The consequence was that I was unable to view the pics in vote order, and I
was unable to use winvote to compile my votes.

Anyone else have similiar difficulties?
