Plesk 8.2 + DBNames

I just installed Plesk 8.2 on a Debian (sarge) machine.

I dislike how the new "DBNames" act.

If i switch the "add customer name" on, my customer is added to the db name, if i switch it of my customer name is still added to the db field.

a) If i switch the feature off, i dont want to have my client username added to the dbname field.

b) I would prefer to have a "add DOMAINuser name / FTPUsername (anything what is domainspecific)" - i have only one customer/reseller on my system (which is me) and my customers/domainowners can create databases - would make more sense to make the name domainbased-specific instead reseller-specific . The main problem with DBnames is that customers may run into an already used name for their custom database - the problem still exists if you switch the new feature on and let customers decide which name they choose (they all would have the same resellername prefix)
 
That feature was coded in for us (my company) as it would fit our needs, in the next releases (plesk 9 I believe) they said they would be expanding the logic to make it "better" - so if you let them know via the support center Im sure they will take your request under consideration since they are going to re-do the logic anyways.
 
Good point ... will do that later :) - Thanks for the advice.
