Archiver 0.2 Gripes

I'm using Archiver 0.2 on CMSM 1.1, MySQL 5.x, PHP 5.x and I like it but here are a few gripes that I have as listed below:

First the version available through the Module Manager needs to be modified as found here:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 097.0.html

and here:

http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 518.0.html

Next if a title of an item (content, blob, stylesheet, or template) is longer than 32 characters the item will not be archived or maybe it is archived but not displayed.  Either way it's no good to me and my superlong title names (like some of the default CMSMS 1.1 templates and stylesheets).

And finally sorting by Name, Type, Revision, or Date is not working as when one of the categories are clicked on you get "No revisions are in the database" even though they are there and if you look in your browser address bar for:
start=&m1_type_filter

and add a 0 so it looks like:

start=0&m1_type_filter

You get the Archived Items sorted as you wanted them.

To me having the security of reverting an item that was trashed is something of great importance and I just want to see a better product.  I'm no PHP guru so I can't fix all the issues that I'm finding and it greatly worries me about the other modules available through the Forge and my confidence in this Open Source Project as a whole is diminishing.

I'll be using CMSMS for small sites and as an introductory CMS for some clients but for a large site or one that has certain needs not in the default installation I'm going to have to go with another Open Source Solution.
