This feature was requested earlier on the list, and at least for Mac and
iOS will be part of the version 1.1 feature set. The current beta does
not do it yet, please stay tuned for the RC (the feature was buggy in
beta1).

As far as Windows and Linux are concerned, I will leave the answer to
Tomasz Wolniewicz.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
