This is the way I use it. :)
Download and install xxx_v2.mcr. Then you can create a toolbar button.

I've made a little edit if you don't mind Miauu

I've edited your great code to turn on all stats with "Total + Selection" radio button enabled.
This has no UI, just run to show all stats and 'Total + Selection'.

Thanks!

This helped me greatly in getting the viewports configured the way I needed them on batch routine that I am running!
